    The door lock is stiff and complicated to lock, we struggled with the lock quite a lot. We had only one toilet paper roll and ran out in the middle of the night without any place to restock, but when we asked the staff for more in the morning they were happy to supply.

    The room was clean and comfortable. Very basic, but included all of the needed facilities. The staff is very lovely.

    Mirror in the toilet was not in front of the sink but on the wall at the back of the sink, which is an awkward position. Just a minor gripe though, no major inconvenience.

    Clean linen and room, sufficient furniture and room equipment. They even provided a coffee machine with two coffee capsules and tea bags. Sufficient available parking. Nice and comfortable beds and pillows. Easy self-service check in and check out with prompt and clear instructions.

    Walls were quite thin. Could hear talking and snoring from other guests. Breakfast starts at 8.15 which meant we were rushed on one day as we had a trip booked.

    Location was lovely overlooking the river. Breakfast was plentiful.

    A bit uncomfortable eating breakfast when seated right next to host working on his laptop and on the phone. Like much of Europe tight quarters in room when trying to lay out luggage.

    On the river with lots of birds singing, innkeeper was friendly and humorous, older property with some rustic charm, decent continental plus breakfast, comfortable bed

    Coffee machine was broken (and only one pod each provided), breakfast is quite late (8:15-9:30) so had to skip it, fridge had been unplugged so couldn't keep supplies cool, car park quite tight if all lodges booked so need to park closely, water is only lukewarm, lock on lodge very very difficult to open and close (took multiple minutes each time as so stiff).

    Good sized room in a convenient and quiet location just off the ring road. Nicely decorated with good views over the river - great for bird watching in summer.

    I recommend getting a new dish sponge. The one they gave us was very worn.

    A lovely stay near a beautiful river. We had the pleasure of chatting with Kinka, who prepared a delicious breakfast for us. The room was very cozy and had everything we needed.

    Our room felt like they had started doing it up and not finished it. The wardrobes had no hanging poles or shelves. This didn’t matter to us as only there one night. The room was lovely just odd with the wardrobes

    The rooms had been nicely laid out and the beds were super comfortable. We used the shared kitchen area which was really good and had everything you needed.

    There are some minor maintenance issues and small touches that would go a long way if addressed. Flush button for the toilet was misaligned with the tank and stuck on the lid. Window latch was messed up. Door lock was non-intuitive but at least they provided an explanation for it. Would have preferred a conventional locking method. It would be nice to have a shelf or caddy in the shower for holding your toiletries. That could be as simple as a suction cup mounted one. Toilet paper roll holder was mounted directly above the heater which seemed like a potential fire hazard.

    Breakfast was good with friendly staff. The river view was nice. Short drive into town. Many highland tours offer free pickup in Hella making it a convenient home base.
