Verified reviewvery good

We had a wonderful stay and were very comfortable . The food was great and the times available made what we organized very easy to manage. the guided walks were great and we also managed a walk up to the Mushroom Rock on our own using an app which I do feel the Hotel could make more accessible to hikers like us who were much happier using it , without a guide. We are experienced hikers but wanted the reassurance of using the app as it made us aware of where we were at all times. but being over 65 we are not as technically savvy as the youngsters who use it so easily.

Verified reviewvery good

We had a lovely time . The resort was great and outdoor hiking was fantastic. Meals were good but there was no alternative milk option available for someone with cow milk intolerance. Any vegan option like soya, rice, oats, coconut milk would have been greatly appreciated.
