  • "The property is located about 1."

    5 miles from the main road along a very narrow, winding and, in places, steep lane which is not signposted from the main road. It is very bumpy and muddy especially at this time of year. We were not aware of its accessibility issues and feel it should have been mentioned somewhere in the description. We found the cabin to be very clean and well equipped, the owner was friendly and welcoming and the setting very peaceful with many birds and squirrels who visited frequently. We made only very limited use of the hot tub finding the 37 degree setting rather too cool for our preference and the tub’s inner surface rather slippery. The experience was valuable if only to show us that at our age we need to look for more urban settings for Spring breaks in future!
