Mountain Views from a Cosy Bed
... our brains.
We stayed at the Hermitage Hotel and had a room with mountain views. When we booked we were tossing up whether to pay the bit extra to get the views and decided to go for it at the last minute. It was completely worth it and meant that we didn't feel bad staying in our room reading or resting - we were there to see the mountains after all and if you can see them from the comfort of your bed then why not!?
