All the little items which make a holiday let into a home were available. Very dog friendly with throws on furniture, dog bowls and mat made things comfortable for pets also. Welcome pack items were lovely and we followed up with extra scones through the week. Brilliant open views, easy access to public footpath over open fields for dog exercise and a central location for NT properties and Coastal Villages.

The little details from the owner were fantastic. It was clean and we felt we were welcome in the cabin even though we didnât see anybody (which is perfect for us!). We were very comfortable, slept like logs on the very comfy bed. In a word it was marvellous. I would highly recommend.

We loved our stay, though there were a few small things that could benefit from a little TLC, the tap in the kitchen had to be run fast for it to get warm, this meant the water splashed a fair bit, the toilet flush occasionally got stuck so continued to fill, the bedroom door is catching & required some effort to close and the sofa was so low so not great for our dodgy knees and brighter lighting would be beneficial, a soft area of floor in front of the shower and some of the sealant requires replacing around the cubicle but otherwise the cabin was warm and comfortable with everything we needed, we would return :-)
