Was great for a short stay and had everything in the description but could improve cleanliness
Pros:

Restaurant staff were friendly and helpful on arrival. Warm and cozy stay. Great location that’s close to all your necessities.

Cons:

The cabin needs a deep clean. There is mould on the curtains and in the corners of the ranch slider. There are stains on the couch and crumbs in the cupboards. There’s a lot of dust on the bed head board and floors, and rubbish under the bed. When I arrived there was a dirty and wet cloth on the floor from the previous guest.

Ok for an overnight stop
Pros:

Handy location, cabin has most things needed for a short stay for 1 or 2 people.

Cons:

The cabin hadn’t been thoroughly cleaned, there was dirt in the corners and old popcorn under the bed. In the morning I noticed mould on the door frame, and the smoke alarm was missing. The shower gel supply was empty.

Convenient, cosy and clean
Pros:

The location was very central and handy. It was great having a small kitchen and bathroom attached making it very self sufficient.

Cons:

I think it would be great if they had more of a kitchen set up. Possibly an element with ventilation so you can cook properly inside. They do offer a BBQ but in the winter this isn’t the most convenient. A safe would also be a great additive.

Pros:

I like the fact that it was a private cabin and it has everything we needed.

Cons:

Sofa not too clean which was very visible cause it was white and also the fact that the heater is above our heads on the bed and it has no remote so have to stand up everytime you have to change it.

Great location, staff and environment!
Pros:

Was cosy and clean and well set up. Access to the restaurant was great and food and service was exceptional!

Cons:

I loved everything, the only thing was I couldn’t work out how to turn the light on the wall mounted heater down (or off) so to leave it on it it lit up the room. But that was most likely a me issue 🤣

Loved the location
Pros:

Perfect location right in town

Cons:

Couple of hooks in the bathroom to hang things would be good.
The toilet was very low especially for us slightly older adults.
Would be great to have a grab rail coming up the outside steps to the room

Pros:

Comfortable, very spacious.

glasses weren’t cleaned properly. Booked in for 3 nights and only got 1 towel per person, 2x towels pp would have been ideal.
