Liked: We really loved staying here. The location is great. The building is lovely-its rustic and quaint. The bar was cosy and the food portions generous. The steak was the best I've had. The lady who runs it couldn't be more helpful and friendly. She gave us great advice and information on the area. It's such a shame we couldn't stay longer and do the alpine crossing. However we fully intend to come back and will definately be staying here again!

Disliked: Nothing

Liked: I got a free upgrade to a single room, sweet as! It was very quite, I guess during winter it's busier. Very friendly staff and a nice place to rest after some outdoor activities.

Disliked: I'm annoyed by these old water tabs - too small to get your hands unerneaths - the water runs almost like a little waterfall on the side in the sink, aaargh.
