“Stunning views but basic accommodation.”
Surrounded by mountains and a glacier the views are stunning. Despite being within sight of the main road, the room was silent… except for having paper thin walls so conversations were heard.

We arrived very late due to the snowstorm. The owner was very kind and waited for us to check in. When we were trapped because of the weather they even provided us free lunch. Rooms are spacious, clean, and comfortable.

“Avoide at all costs, for the sheer amount of bites (over 47) this place is infeasted with bedbugs.”
Nothing at all, I awoke to my bed crawling with bedbugs. I have the photos and videos, over 47 bites all over my arms, hands and legs, furthermore, the hotel's response to this was totally inadequate. They point-blank denied it, even though I killed two bugs on the bed and there was also blood on the sheet. This ruined our holiday as I had to wake the rest of the group, and we flew home early as the sheer amount of bites shocked my immune system and made me ill. The Brunnholl Guesthouse were in denial, less than sympathetic, and offered zero compensation other than the room refund. We are looking into legal action.

It was an isolated venue and so the Aurora was exceptional.
