"What a wonderful place to stay. From the moment we arrived we found ourselves wishing we had been there before, it was even lightly snowing. Easy check in, the room was warm with the gas fire lit, and the private spa outside was hot, the huge bed was so comfortable and the bathroom was huge with a double Spa bath and double shower with huge pressure .
The Dinner at night was delightful, but a wee bit expensive, but what the hell, you only live once. We will be back."
"Not often do I find accommodation where it is even better than it looks in the photos on websites - Settlers Boutique Motel has been beautifully renovated with a lovely look and feel. I got a warm welcome and shown to the cosy warm room thanks to the heat pump being already on, which was a nice touch. The room had been tastefully updated with lovely modern furniture, very nice bed linen and fantastic wallpaper! The room was beautifully presented with lots of attention to detail that was appreciated. Navjeet the house keeper left a lovely note and I really appreciated her great attention to detail and beautiful presentation of the room. The owners were lovely to talk with and clearly have a passion for tourism which is very hard to find these days. Highly recommended and I look forward to visiting often on my work travels to the area."
