A reasonable stay
easy access walking trails free parking friendly staff small room small bathroom many stairs
The location offered easy access to nearby walking trails. Free parking was available, quite handy. Staff was friendly, they made breakfast enjoyable.
My room was quite small with a very small bathroom. I had to drive out for meals, because there are not many options within walking distance. The amount of stairs made it difficult to reach my room.

super comfy bed lovely breakfast good base noisy room used plaster wear tear
the bed was super comfy. the breakfast was lovely and the lady who served it was very friendly. it is a very good base to go up catbells since you can walk the whole way on foot without walking on the roads.
the room was a little noisy because of guests in the adjacent and above rooms. i found a used plaster on the bedside light switch. there was usual wear and tear stuff.
