Cleanliness & staff service were good, bed was comfortable, shower was great. However, don’t drink the tap water, it’s genuinely foul. Use bottled water instead. Even boiling the water didn’t help.

We loved this quaint british-style pub and hotel. Its a bit old school but that definintely adds to the charm. The nearby sculture garden is also a fun stop worth the time, as it feels pretty unique to wander through the primordial forest looking at scultures planted around...
