    Lovely owners, excellent food, clean and comfortable rooms with heaters and duvets. Accommodating with early breakfast. Great location by Porters ski field. Would stay again and recommend.

    We absolutely loved staying at this lodge! The location was stunning, with magnificent views of the surrounding area. The warm and homely vibe made us feel right at home. The owner was incredibly friendly and provided us with plenty of information about mountain biking, skiing, and hiking in the area. The dining and lounge area was cozy and offered fantastic views. The meals were delicious, and we enjoyed sitting by the warm fireplace after a long day of exploring. The lodge also provided an abundance of brochures for us to plan our activities.

    Felt safe, nothing to complain about.

    I keep coming back to this place because it has everything I need - free Wi-Fi, parking, bar, restaurant, and more. The staff even helped with my elderly parents. Can't wait to return for Christmas!

    We had an exceptional stay at a lodge in the mountains with breathtaking views. The hosts were attentive and the food was delicious. Despite a few minor issues, we highly recommend this place for a relaxing getaway.

    We used the public and private MTB shuttles provided by the hotel for our epic mountain biking adventure. The bunk-style family accommodation was actually pretty comfy and had awesome views of the mountains. Plus, we took private lessons before joining the intermediate group lessons and it totally upped our skiing game!

    The only thing we would've loved is if they had a sick party atmosphere for us young, party-going people. Like maybe a chill hangout area where we could meet other young travellers and have some fun at night.

    The lodge was adorned with charming decorations that added a warm and homely touch to the atmosphere. The common areas were spacious and comfortable, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the company of fellow guests. As a senior woman, I appreciated the hotel's accessibility, with easy-to-navigate paths and ramps throughout the property, making it convenient for me to move around without any issues.

    It would have been wonderful if the children working there could organize more activities specifically tailored for senior guests. Adding gentle exercise classes or organized nature walks would make the vacation even more enjoyable for us older folks.

    We had a fantastic stay at Porters Lodge in the beautiful and isolated location. Jeanette and Peter, our hosts, were lovely and made our stay enjoyable. The lodge was clean, warm, and had a cozy feel to it. The food, especially Peter's pizza, was superb. With breathtaking views and a relaxed atmosphere, it was the perfect place for a quiet and relaxing getaway.

    Can't fault the property in any way. 😊

    The value for money at the lodge was excellent, and our room provided us with a cozy and comfortable stay. The location was remote and beautiful, offering stunning views of the valley. The staff were friendly and accommodating throughout our stay.

    The breakfast selection could have been better with more variety and options.
