Overview
editTo reach the accommodation, guests have to trek with a trip guide through a Victorian slate mine. Helmet, light, harness and boots are provided to the guests before the journey. The hotel has to be reached through a challenging path through the mine, which operated from 1810 to 1939. The hotel includes four private twin-bed cabins and a romantic grotto with a double bed.[5]
