Perfekt läge för den som vill besöka hälsingegårdarna. Besökscentret ligger också i byn Alfta, vilket gör det enkelt att upptäcka områdets kultur och sevärdigheter. Miljön på hotellet är herrgårdsliknande med en grönskande trädgård som skapar en lugn och avkopplande atmosfär. Personalen är välkomnande och serviceinriktad. Efter en lång resdag uppskattade vi möjligheten att kunna äta och dricka på hotellet. Vi kan varmt rekommendera detta boende!

Det var tyst och sängarna var ok. Läget bra. Frukosten var ok och brödet färskt och mycket gott! Ett plus för att minibar fanns och ett stort plus för möjligheten att ladda sin elbil. Städningen var dock inte ok, hittade godispapper under sängen, spegeln på toaletten var visserligen avtorkad men med randigt avtryck som tillsammans med dålig belysning bidrog till bristfällig funktion. Såg också smutsigt ut i hörnen i badrummet. Vi saknade möjlighet att göra kaffe eller thé på rummet . Det skulle finnas att tillgå i konferensrummet men där fanns endast choklad. Sammantaget var det tyvärr inte prisvärt.
