The location is really good, we can watch the sun rise just above the horizon, and a lot of rabbits jumping around our house in the morning! the experience is quite unique!

Absolutely fantastic host. We were picked up from the airport (including children's carseats), and were also offered to drive us to other locations (which we ended up doing). We felt very welcome and it was a great start to our journey!

Service was impeccable. You can immediately tell that all the staffs were genuinely delighted to have you at the lodge and would want it to be the best experience for you. The rooms are very well equipped and very comfortable. Views were stunning. There's in room heating and even the floors and bath rooms are heated. It was a nice and cosy night stay. Our trip was cut short due to bad weather but that wasn't a problem. We got a refund and no further questions asked. Theg certainly set a sky high benchmark in customer service and experience .

The view is as amazing as it appears in the advert, and the bed was super comfortable. Helen is an amazing hostess, she made us feel so welcome in her special home, cooked a delicious breakfast (bread straight from the oven!) and shared lots of great advice for our trip.

Cosy cabin in a stunning setting. Large outdoor tub that stayed warm for ages. Very private and tranquil. We had perfect weather for star gazing and beautiful sunsets and sunrises. Would happily stay again.

Very clean, homely and had all of the amenities you’d want in a humble ski chalet with the added bonus of made-to-order eggs every morning by the lovely staff.

The breakfast was excellent good start to the day. The breakfast layout presentation, variety of continental and cooked breakfast on offer awesome. Cafe in the ballroom cooked meals including cabinet food also affordable and cozy with the open fires. Larnach Castle interior with areas for public to view it's a grand place to see in person. I'm glad that I had the opportunity to stay on the grounds to enjoy for few days. Stayed late July and the area was quiet if you want a relaxing stay.

Location was absolutely breathtaking, loved that we could see animals out and about while we walked around. The spa was wonderful and the room was surprisingly warm and cosy considering its winter! We came for my husband’s birthday and was the icing on the cake of our trip! Great attention to detail too, like robes, slip ons, chair/tables that were easy to manoeuvre around for whatever you need! Perfect! Location, Vibe, Hot tub and cute lil cabin!

My wife and I stayed here for a weekend and had a fantastic time. The chalet is very well finished with all the accessories you need - there is even a coffee machine! The location is great and the views from the deck are stunning. We particularly enjoyed the outdoor bath and the view of the stars in the evenings was incredible! We would highly recommend!

Great host, well equipped (but basic) cabin, lovely new fireplace. Not a luxury stay, but exactly as described, and a great place to get away from modern life for a while (but it does have WiFi, a microwave , a hot shower and modern conveniences!)
