"Impromptu trip away and I absolutely couldn't resist booking this accommodation (we booked the tent). All the thoughtful details, from oil for the BBQ, to the salt & pepper, to the super warm electric blankets on the beds (100% needed), comfort is number 1 priority. In Winter, be prepared for very cold temps - extra layers, ugg boots etc. Highly recommend this accom. "
