"Our cabin was great well set out and very clean. There were 2 areas that would have made our stay perfect and that was the cabin lacked a suitable sitting area in the cabin, the outdoor furniture is not very comfortable, and the sheets were like cardboard so much so that we slept on the duvet to avoid them"
