A Lodge Away From Home
peaceful chalet warm welcome
I found a peaceful, small Chalet away from main building. It gave me such joy. A variety of meals were available. The evening meal was like a gift. The staff welcomed me warmly.
I noticed the rooms seemed in very bad need of repair. I felt a little disappointed. The floor near bathroom was wet. The window did not shut properly.

mixed feelings about my stay
missing plug breakfast queue
i was disappointed by several issues . the bathroom sink lacked a plug so i could not fill it with water. the hot water was also excessively hot making it difficult to use. cigarette butts and broken glass littered the terrace and posed a hazard. the staff seemed short-handed during breakfast there was a long queue for butter.
