This well-organised guesthouse with an attractively decorated dining area has sparkling rooms with a bright and summery decoration scheme and windows overlooking fields of wheat. There's 24-hour hot water, decent wi-fi, and coffee for breakfast. It's right up towards the head of the valley, close to where the sealed road turns into a dirt road heading to the Yaha Pass.
