It was a lovely place, we enjoyed staying there. The owners were very responsive with our questions and requests. We were surprised to find eggs/milk and bacon in the fridge. Especially because we got there really late and we had no time to buy food for breakfast, really handy before a hike. Lovely facilities if you like fire camps and bbqs.
