fantastic stay
ample breakfast friendly hosts clean room
i found the breakfast ample with several choices. The hosts were friendly and helpful with information about the area. The room was clean, and the bed, though a bit firm, worked fine for me.
the access road is a single lane with passing places, so initial arrival needs extra caution.
