10/10 Excellent
"Loved this little place. Perfectly set up for the kids and our dog - the kids were happy to stay and play rather than explore the local area!The hosts were very thoughtful leaving home grown fruit, homemade jams, bacon and eggs plus breakfast things. We were not expecting this, and were pleasantly surprised.The cabins were nice and warm, even in the middle of winter. We used the heaters but were able to turn them off, or on low, after an hour.We will definitely be back!"
