A wonderful experience to stay in a cave, perfect temperature made it very comfortable. scenery breathtaking. tons of information about the area and very detailed information of nearby walks. If you have kids needing entertaining its not ideal. The owners were available but not imposing at all. house was well equipped even providing picnic gear. Would be suitable all year round, definitely want to go back in spring for walking and winter for skiing. highly recommend. the entries in the visitors book in the house has only high praise for the house, owners and area, from various groups of people for varying stays from a few days to a few months at different times of year. You need a car |
