Very friendly staff, remarkable views and excellent location and well-equipped kitchen. We stayed in an ensuite room and were very happy. The staff even went out of their way to check if the dairy next door would open on Christmas Day. They did! Many thanks!

    Asked about: 5 Bed Private Ensuite Dorm
  • hi, the triple deluxe room - it says 1 single and 1 double bed. Are these fixed bedding arrangements? if we end up bringing my step daughter (to be confirmed) how much extra will it be for her (12years old).

    If you are booking for three people then you will be fine in the double + single but if you want to add a fourth person you will need to upgrade to a larger room (double + bunk).
