late breakfast flimsy pillow
Breakfast started too late for hikers eager to start early. It began at 7:45. I think starting at 7 am would be better. One person served breakfast. A big queue formed. This blocked access to the coffee and tea machine. One very flimsy pillow meant I woke up with neck pain.

FANTASTIC experience at a EPIC location

friendly staff comfortable room beautiful view
The staff were VERY helpful. As soon as i got there, they were friendly. The room was quiet and COMFORTABLE, which i loved. The garden area has the most BEAUTIFUL view. I didn't see it until the morning since I arrived in the evening. The view alone. AMAZING.
I was really surprised to find that I was in a small, very basic room with a bunk bed for the price i paid.
