! I took extra blankets/jumpers because I feel the cold, but never needed them! The cabin is fitted with a top heating system, very warm cosy bedding & the best comfy mattresses... The best night's sleep! With a stunning waterfall just to the side of the property it was so tranquil with a morning cuppa & the autumn leaves falling from the trees. Other reviews have slated the drive up the mountain with parts of the road being a no through road, im a woman driver and can honestly say its not that bad at all, And I'm already planning another stay there! A massive Thank You to Gareth & Jayne x
