Amazing quiet location with a view to die for. The log cabin is beautiful, the only downside is the toilet is a bit snug.

If you need a quiet, relaxing few days this place is perfect. Beautiful view, great for dogs as garden is huge and enclosed. Middle of nowhere, you will have to travel 30-45 mins to get anywhere. Make sure you set your satnav before you leave as data in surrounding area is non existent. WiFi is good, toilet is a tight space, shower ok. All in all fRead moreor a quiet, relaxing time sat reading enjoying the view it's great. Hide

this rustic and remote cabin is ideal for a romantic get away PROVIDING you are no taller than the average HOBBIT!!. The Killer beam in the kitchen is at a dangerous height!SELECTED!, !ENDOFSELECTED!with the cunningly camoflaged step down in front of the sink makes it fun every time . Same with the toilet , unless the door is left open it is impRead moreossible to avoid hitting your head on the wall or door . the decking in need of repair , Two CCTV cameras permenently focused on the deck of cabin

RESPONSE FROM HOLIDAY COTTAGES: The property certainly has low beams, taller guests may need take care. Maintenance on the decking is due over winter. The cameras your saw are disabled, nothing can be recorded or viewed and your privacy is not affected in any way.

Perfect location. Amazing garden, completely dog firendly with lovely views and walks from the door step. Toilet and the shower are a little compact, but everything else was 100% perfect. Would highly recommend, escpecially if you are looking for a great place for peace, quiet and complete security for your dog(s).

Lovely cabin in a beautiful setting, we booked this mainly for the dogs as the garden is a great size with beautiful views and so peaceful. The property is compact but comfortable. The area was perfect as you were not far from numerous beaches,towns,villages and walks.
