Guests report that The Cabin is comfortable, with a cosy atmosphere and a well-received hot tub. The beds are comfortable and the heating is easy to control. Some guests, however, mentioned that the sofas were unsupportive and the shower pressure was low.
The facilities are generally well-regarded, especially the hot tub and well-equipped kitchen. However, some guests noted issues with shower pressure, a lack of fixed steps for the hot tub, and a need for better maintenance of some amenities.

Michaela introduced herself and promptly fixed the broken gate left by a previous guest. The cabin was fabulous and along with the hot tub provided a wonderfully relaxing weekend. Our dogs also enjoyed the experience and loved running around the field and surrounding grounds. It was lovely to know they could enjoy and we knew they were safely enclosed. We will be back in future. Thanks again!

The lodge was fully equipped with everything you need. We met one of the owners when she came to check the hot tub, she was very friendly and was happy to answer any questions we had. We had a great relaxing stay. Would definitely recommend staying here.
