“ | The best holiday we have been on! Stunning spot, near many walks and waterfalls. Plenty of hikes and magnificent views. Toilets and showers were warm and super clean. We stayed in a tiny cabin that was clean, had everything we needed and an unlimited amount of wood. So peaceful at night to sit under the stars in front of the fire. You will not want to come home! Magical place. | ” |
“ | This is a lovely cabin with breath-taking views. The fire kept us lovely and warm in winter and we even managed to sit round the fire at night. Lucky enough to get a full moon and the added frost lit the place up at night. Just what is needed during these times. Risk free stay but a break from reality! | ” |
