cosy firenutritious buffet mealmountain bike riderssingle ply
i enjoyed that the hotel has a cosy fire in the lounge. a nutritious buffet meal was also available. catering for a large group of mountain bike riders was expertly done .
the bathroom was really tiny. just the exact space you need to stand. the toilet paper was also single ply, meaning i needed to use way more anyway.

I found the room to be very warm and comforting. Information regarding local trails was readily available at the reception. The on-site restaurant became quite convenient for me, and its staff displayed a cute attitude. The shower had excellent water pressure.
The after-hours number I tried calling went unanswered when noisy guests partied upstairs until late.
