We booked Middle Class Lodge for a family celebration and it was a good choice. The rooms were pleasant and comfortable. We had a very good meal there on one of the evenings. There was a great choice for breakfast and everything was beautifully cooked using good quality local ingredients. Thoroughly recommended.

Lovely little place surrounded by beautiful scenery! Gorgeous building and nice room with your own bathroom. Hosts were very helpful and friendly and couldn't do enough for you! Very pleased that the b&b made efforts to be as environmentally friendly as possible which was refreshing. Would definitely stay again!
