    Excellent breakfast - we were planning an early exit on the 2nd day to make the most of the park but opted to stay for breakfast because it was so good on day 1. Fantastic setting and views. Lovely spacious rooms, very well equipped for the cold...

    Lovely lodge in beautiful surroundings. Etta and her husband were so welcoming and helpful with local recommendations. We only stayed one night but wish we’d have stayed longer as there is so much to do in the area! Breakfast was delicious.
