We loved the self contained cottage which was roomy and comfortable. The bathroom was the best of our travels having a proper vanity with a big drawer for toilet bags etc. Would certainly recommend.

Poor quality. I wouldn't stay here again.
Cottage masks the true nature of this property. Its a small portacabin. Sure it's got sliding patio doors and a bathroom but it's still a portacabic. As a result its hard to control the temperature. It feels damp even in March and the bathroom, even after only one night and two showers smelled damp. Also the WiFi is poor to non- existant.

Comfortable and quiet in a good location for restaurants snd attractions. The cottages are a bit close together so the sitting area is confined but they are well equipped with excellent bathrooms

It was an adorable cottage. Plenty of room and very comfy. Also very quiet so I could hear the birds. Check in was easy and staff very friendly. Gave good local suggestions. Would definitely stay again.

Nice cottage. Big negative is the high heat in the room during summer, since there is no AC, an electric fan should have been provided. Keeping windows open takes a long time to cool the room.

Great
Comfortable and great location. Perfect for exploring. Laundry nearby but half machines out of order (not run by the motel). The only thing to note is we were woken at 3am one night by the firefighter siren - quite scary if you don’t know what it is!

Not much for dining. They close way before they say. The rooms are fantastic though. I suggest picking up food to cook in the room that has a grocery store before heading into the pass.
