Really good Stay

The breakfast offered really good quality produce and excellent service. Staff accommodated a late arrival after a long hike accommodating me even without a reservation. The room was good the outdoor seating area enhanced the peaceful location. The attention to detail was really good throughout the hotel with quality decor and cleanliness evident in the rooms.
The bed felt a little too soft for my preference.
