    Not having a TV or radio although, if you want to get away from it all ,this would not be a problem!

    The Cabin was secluded ,private and very peaceful. The host was helpful and recommended places to eat and things to do. The wifi was excellent. If you like walking it's a great spot to stay.

    The bed is slightly too soft. It could be better if the mattress is firmer, especially for people who suffer from back pain. There is no extraction fan in the bathroom that does not bother me, but I know it might to others

    The enclosed and private space, sitting down outdoors when the sun was there.

    We found the bed a bit soft but that is a personal preference.

    Nicely decorated and tastefully furnished with everything you might need for a short break. Friendly and helpful host. We only cooked breakfast (our choice) but you could cook all your meals if you wanted to save money. Private patio area and off street parking. Lots of nice walks in the area and our dogs were welcome just about everywhere. Highly recommend the nearby Red Lion pub for excellent food.

    There was nothing not to like.

    The cabin has been beautifully thought out. Perfect for visiting the island. It has all the facilities you need for a perfect relaxing break. Only thing that would be good is a little radio to listen to while getting ready to go out for the day and for those of us older ones that aren’t quite clever enough to work out the music on our phones🤣🤣🤣but absolutely perfect place thank you guys.

    Nothing to dislike. Minor improvement might be a tea pot and a slightly higher bed. Though these won't stop me coming back.

    Great secluded cabin with offroad parking and EV Charging. Very clean and comfortable. Bed was a little low for my personal taste, though very comfortable. Kitchen and day area had everything we wanted inc.. the lack of a TV. Great stay.
