Would sleep more than stated as there is sleeping options above locked room, plenty of firewood which helped when everyone arrived wet, hut was clean, and cleaning supplies left to aid leaving the place as you found it, 3 outdoor sinks which gave everyone enough space. And the sunrise is amazing to watch.
