This was well appointed but the one thing all four of us found uncomfortable were the beds, none of us had a good nights sleep.

As expected we had a lovely warm welcome and got in the log cabin on time. Generally the log cabin was clean, except for the windows, and it had everything we needed for a lovely 7 day holiday. Hot tub was checked every day and the sauna was lovely too. Having your own private garden is fabulous too. We have stayed in Maple and Beach before and they are both lovely too. Thank you for having us and we will be booking to return soon.
