Hotel Rakov Škocjan

Southwestern Slovenia


Set in lovely woodland surrounds, Hotel Rakov Škocjan gets good reviews from travellers for its location (5km west of Cerknica). The carpeted rooms are a little old-fashioned, but they're otherwise fine. The restaurant serves a buffet breakfast, and steaks for lunch or dinner.
