There were a few slight issues which made us think twice about staying again. When we arrived at 3 the cleaners were still in the property so we couldnât get in for 15 minutes (cranky baby and dogs in the car), but they did say that we could check out an hour later on our day of departure. The dishwasher was full and looked like someone had been sick in it, so we had no cutlery until that had been put on and emptied by us. The bed in the main room needs repairing as the middle foot was snapped and slipped out when we got into bed. These are all things easily rectified, but with our 1 year old they were just a bit annoying considering we paid £200 a night. Other than that it was a lovely spacious place to relax in a good location. If the issues were rectified then I would absolutely recommend
Natasha
The master bed was a little uncomfortable, but not a major down point in comparison to what this beautiful log cabin has to offer, it was enjoyed by all the family. We would definitely recommend and will return ourselves in the future.
