A Tranquil Escape with Room for Improvement
I really enjoyed the peaceful and quirky atmosphere of this place, especially the sauna and outdoor firepit, which were perfect for unwinding. I did find the lack of housekeeping a bit disappointing, as well as some maintenance issues like the shower not draining properly. I left feeling thoroughly relaxed and happy with my stay.

The location really shines with outdoor space, capturing a serene vibe. The Deluxe Queen Room offered ample space and a unique decor that added character.
Housekeeping fell short—only four tea bags provided on day one, no refills. The bathroom bins were overflowing, and cobwebs were found in the shower curtains. There were maintenance issues, with the shower tray not draining properly and the kettle needing multiple cleanings before it was usable.

absolutely charming spot, except I had to take my shoes off at the door like a child. breakfast was dismal, I woudl ve been thrilled with local honey and jam. it's baffling that no one rushed to fix the clogged shower tray, leaving me swimming in my own filth. almost wrote a glowing review, but just couldn’t.

Had a great time with my friends exploring the scenic trails nearby and relaxing in the sauna. The unique decor of our room added to the experience and the peaceful vibe made it perfect for unwinding. Highly recommend checking out the outdoor firepit for evening gatherings.
While we enjoyed our stay, we faced some housekeeping issues, like not enough tea bags and no bathroom refresh throughout our visit.

The space offers great outdoor facilities like a wood-fired sauna and a cozy outdoor firepit, perfect for relaxation. I faced issues with the shower, which didn’t drain properly, and the cleanliness of the kettle was below standard. The breakfast selection was also quite limited, making it hard to find satisfying options for a hearty start to the day.

Had a great trip with friends! We loved hiking to the nearby cliffs and checking out the scenic trails around the retreat. The building is unique and quiet, perfect for relaxation. The outdoor firepit was a hit during our evenings together.
We faced some issues with maintenance and cleanliness. the bathroom bins were full, and we didn't get proper housekeeping.
