The check in went smoothly with the app/website instructions they give, the room was very basic and pretty small but very clean and well maintained! Overall a good place to stay for a night on our road trip, but wouldn't be somewhere I'd stay more than a night or two as the room was very small. We didn't have any face to face interactions with staff but they left lots of notes/instructions around the place for how to get in touch with them if needed, they also left a voucher for the coffee shop in town which was a nice touch!

Super basic hotel. The room was tiny. Hardy enough space around the bed. The wash sink was in the room by the window separate from the toilet and shower which were on the other side of the room in a separate little room. It felt like sleeping in a student dorm room.

The most hands off place yet on 3 week trip. Only complaint very complicated check in process, assumed quite a lot of facility with phone. Had to help elderly gentleman who was having such a hard time with it. He never could have managed on his own

Very neat, clean rooms, even quite tasteful. The bathroom seemed new and modern. The shower was spacious. The kitchen had plenty of equipment, you could make a family meal here easily. It was also a very sociable space. The property has a lot of stairs, if that bothers you. It's a nice quiet location too, great views, but the whole village has great views. I just wish I could have spent two nights here.
