Where do I start.
Driving to the hotel can be very daunting unless you have someone to take you, or you arrange a pickup. It is a fair distance from the local town and can be expensive with the local taxis, but later I can see why. However, there is a Local car Matatu service that cost around 300 shillings per person, that takes around forty minutes, the driver seams to know everyone and stops for on route chat with tje locals. The drive is ruff road not tarmac, but givem wjere tje hotel is, is understandable. The owner is very happy to get one of those drivers to meet you at a location in the town, ie outside Family Bank. Once you eventually get to tje hotel your see its all worth the trip. How they managed to buid this hotel up in the middle of knowwhere beggars believe.
The weather is different there and can rain alot, but the sun soon pops out randomly here and there, and can rain without warning, it gets hot as well. The staff at the hotel were fantastic, and tea and coffee was awaiting our arrival along with a cosy wooden lit fireplace along.with our dinner when we wanted it. We arrived late and it was dark. We were led to our rooms and asked for an extra duvet as it was a little chilly being so high up. The room was adequate with a electric shower and comfortable bed. The morning was raining very hard. But cleared up to reveal a stunning view from our balcony . I just could not stop looking at it. the tea farmers were busy collecteing the leaves.
Breakfast was anything that we required from omelette/ sausage /toast to fresh fruit. There were plenty of local tours available at a very reasonable price. Our tour guide come security guard was only too eager to take us anywhere we wanted to go. From fly fishing trout on the local river, to the famous Abadare Forrest. Or a local tea plantation tour, even if we wanted to visit the famous tree tops.

I like the attentiveness of the staff, the food, and hospitality of the staff towards the guests. Everyone is friendly and makes you feel at home.
I love the view from my room too. Not forgetting the monkeys and different bird species 🐦.
My girlfriend likes it too!
I will visit again ☺️

Quiet environment ideal for a family like my case.
Quiet environment ideal for a family like my case. Excellent breakfast.
However maintenance of the facility requires serious attention. I was particularly concerned with lack of mosquito management even a net yet the facility has too many stagnant water bodies.
I was also disappointed by a watchman knocking our door at 1am looking for an employee who he claimed was staying in the cottage but seemed not to know where..could they not call him?
But otherwise I would still recommend the facility hoping management will action
