Location for view is magnificent and the cabin was well equipped and very clean. We understood there was no bathroom but we did expect a sink and tap to wash your hands. I also found it unusual that there was no staircase to the toilet block and no lighting . The amenities block was clean and the shower was very hot with hooks to hang your towel. This was appreciated. The sinks in the ladies bathroom are very slow to drain. We also appreciated the insect screened window and the lovely fresh linen.
