Enjoyed our stay here and was perfect for the two of us and a dog. Cosy pod and everything we needed was available to us. Lovely location but would probably come back in spring/summer rather than winter due to lots of snow/ice. Big thanks to the owner that helped us with getting out of the snow. Thank you both Aimee and James.
