No one was there to check in. Had to use hotels. Com app to help. Eventually got in. Sent a message through the app to try and find out WiFi password, no one responded. Checked again at the front desk, no one was there. Checked at check out the next day, still no one there. Extremely poor service. Room wasn’t the cleanest but you get what you pay for

No one on property, waited for an hour and a half as notice on locked doors said walking the dogs. Found a mobile number and after 2 phone calls, got a txt to say babysitting, room 10 was open. We found rubbish bin in kitchen full! T.V. did not work. Still no one there at 8.30am next day and notice still saying walking the dogs. Would never go there again and will tell friends and family to not stay there.

Just a place to lay our heads on the way home. We arrived after dark and left early morning. Arranged to have the unit left open for us. Beautiful view of the ⛰️ mountain the next morning.
