"If you love camping and are looking to switch off, this is a perfect retreat. A magical spot where you can be immersed into the sights, smells and sounds of nature and still have the comfort of a cabin with a real bed and cooking facilities. The paddle over only takes a few minutes and adds to the fun. Will definitely be back!"
