“We loved saying at the Gulabin Lodge, we were greeted with friendly faces & they were happy to help us in anyway! A few of the locals gave us some really good tips too. The room is cosy, clean & the beds are comfy. A lovely place to sit downstairs by the fireplace and also there is parking right outside. ”
