Excellent location and extra comfy bed. Very relaxed place with great communal lounge and full use of kitchen. It is across the road from the Springs with a good restaurant next door. The forest walks/trail rides are at the end of the street. Close to the shops too.

Cosy, log cabin style, much better than a soulless motel unit. Quiet. Seamless hostless entry. Generally good.
