I can see why this hut is so busy, fantastic views and being such a large hut would still give everyone space when full. We just stopped for lunch so will come back for an overnighter at some point

Very luxurious new hut. There are lights (and mobile coverage) which did detract from the peaceful feeling of being in nature + contributed to people being up later and quite rowdy. It’s a very warm hut, split into four rooms of different sizes
