  : There are 2 hotels in the Darusu Park and I have stayed in both of them. This time Kule offered better value for money, though I can also recommend The Darusu Club Hotel. If you are looking for a swish western international hotel with reception staff who speak English then go somewhere else (and pay a lot more). If on the other hand you want something more authentic and with soul then Kule is perfect. The staff genuinely want to help and they are patient if, like me, you do not speak a word of their language (though I spoke Russian to some of the staff which was helpful). The room was very clean and the beds were nice and firm. A kettle and fridge were provided. The views over the surrounding forests are beautiful. The grounds are full of character and individuality with lots of mature trees to offer shade if you just want to spend time sitting and enjoying what the hotel has to offer. The outdoor restaurant is very pleasant and breakfast was good (boiled egg, tomato, cucumber, olives, 2 types of cheese, bread, butter, honey, jam and tea). There is a children's play park which my 18-month old daughter enjoyed; she also enjoyed looking at the geese and hens. The highlight of the stay was early one morning when about a dozen wild boar came into the grounds of the hotel, only to be chased off by a dog. I also saw red squirrels. Don't be alarmed by the semi-wild dogs - they are everywhere in rural Turkey and are generally friendly and nonthreatening.
  : A couple of minor points - 1. My family had 2 rooms. In one of them there was a very unpleasant smell which I think came from the shower drain. It gradually got worse during our stay. 2. There are several piles of rubbish in the grounds. Most of these are tucked away out of sight, but the main rubbish skip is located immediately in front of the hotel. It is overflowing with black bags and so the guests' first impression of the hotel is
