Beds lovely room was spotless, food in the restaurant was amazing, even have a little zoo in the back. Stunning place xxxx
I have stayed at the Sleeping Giant several times. All the rooms are superb, and having a great restaurant is a bonus. I have stayed in different rooms; the bigger ones are really special. All have air conditioning and outdoor sitting areas. The area around is also stunning.

Very relaxing break in a beautifully finished room. Top of the range bedding and spotlessly clean.

Excellent accomodation
Excellent location to visit many parts of Bannu and waterfalls.The room was an excellent size, clean and to a high standard. The bed was so comfortable, no issues at all. There is a lovely little zoo which is free to walk around and there is a pub which serves food; breakfast is available at an extra charge. Highly recommend, will return.

Selection of high quality rooms available with comfort in mind.
Easy to find and had plenty of parking.
Pub/Restaraunt was right next door and offered fantastic quality food and were very friendly
An absolute gem of a find. Beautifully designed and finished to the highest spec. Everything you could ever need. Pub on site which has such a warm friendly environment with excellent food. The Zoo is worth a visit and free too (donations to support it). Great for walks. The waterfalls are spectacular. We will definitely be back.
Food at the inn was superb
Pork loin and sauce the best I’ve ever had
Children’s meals a really good size and very tasty
Accommodation was clean and comfortable
Would stay again and recommend to friends

Very stylish apartment and comfortable bed with good amenities and supplies. The only downside is that the toilet just has a stable door, with no other door between bathroom and bedroom. So not much privacy in that regard. The lights are also quite complicated with a blue light on the switch that permanently flashes.
Otherwise a lovely stay with a nice pub next door.
