The hot tub was a real highlight, offering a relaxing experience with stunning views. However, there were a few downsides that affected our experience. Unfortunately, we couldnât use the dishwasher as it hadnât been cleaned and had an unpleasant smell, meaning we had to wash everything by hand. There was only a drop of washing-up liquid provided, so we had to purchase more along with bin bags and cleaning supplies, even though the website stated they would be included. Additionally, the pans werenât clean when we arrived, so we had to wash them before use. Towards the end of our stay, we noticed a strong sewage smell coming from the main bathroom, which was quite unpleasant. Overall, the cottage has a lot of potential with its charm and lovely setting, but a bit more attention to cleanliness and stocking the basics would greatly improve the experience.

Beautiful, clean, well maintained property with stunning views. We booked this weekend break for my 50th birthday celebrations, we all thoroughly enjoyed it and had a lovely, relaxing time soaking in the hot tub whilst taking in the gorgeous snowy views. It was like a winter Wonderland! The owner was friendly, helpful and really did go the extra mile coming to pull our car out of the snow twice. We will definitely be returning soon.

.. on arrival its was very modern, clean, with all the essentials already in the cabin. (Cleaning products tea, coffee & suger) along with a little welcome baskest. The only things for us, we would have benefited from some storage for our clothes and a radio for the deking while in the tub.. but very minor .. we still had the best time and would definitely go back.
