Perfect lodging and location
This is the perfect stay for your Hamner Springs getaway. Large, comfortable, clean room on a beautiful piece of property. Walking distance to everything. The owners are so kind and friendly. We were so happy with our choice to stay here and would definitely stay here again if we returned. Do not hesitate, this place is simply perfect.

a lovely quiet place to stay. Yet still in centre of Hamner but away from the bizz of the town. Easy walking to restaurants , bars & pools. Room was very clean and very comfortable. Really enjoyed our stay there.

This was a cute little cottage in the grounds of a lovely old gracious home. It had all the amenities and was very private and quiet. Close to the town and all cafes and restaurants. Just across the road from the hot springs!

We had a comfortable, warm and a very pleasant three nights in the studio, with the owners being very helpful. We had to leave early for the ferry and unfortunately didn't have a chance to say thanks to them or fatewell. A very central place to stay in a lovely garden.

Nice for 1 night stopover
Stayed in a garden room. Nice and quiet away from the main house and street. Not serving breakfast due to hosts wanting guests to support the local businesses, which is understandable. Just a short walk to the hot pools and towels are supplied by your hosts. Monteiths Bar short walk on the on corner is great for a pub style meal and good beer.

Toplage und -qualität
Absolut zentral und ruhig gelegenes, total gemütliches Bungalow. Wir haben uns sofort sehr wohl gefühlt und wären am liebsten noch geblieben, um die Unterkunft länger zu geniessen.
