Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
Disliked: Listing accuracy
A bit disappointing. Not worth 569 for 2 nights. The bed was comfy & warm. the lights, hot water & gas cooker were great. Both phone & data do work there.The concept was orsom. Some improvements we think would help are ...... The access gate & driveway faces the wrong way. The bath/ shower mixer is broken. The doors have up to a 2" gap at the top. The fire's flue kept blowing off. The BBQ was filthy with no BBQ tools. Some old news papers to light the fire would help. More photos showing that the rooms are 2 different huts joined together. Not criticizing... just some things we would do to make the experience a bit better.
