We were just passing through but wished we stayed longer. Rooms were fantastic, had a Queen suite with an en-suite and it was stunning - cannot recommend a stay here enough. I can imagine in ski season this is the perfect spot to begin and end your day, especially with a lovely pub, restaurant and warmed pool!

Great room. Restaurant seems a bit pricy. Cooler broken meant only one beer on tap. It was good but pricy for the season.
