Only 2 little things, the kettle did not fit under the tap to fill it. The fridge was set way too low and my groceries froze. Both of these were minor issues. The spa bath however, is also a shower and was quite slippery (and uneven but that's the type of formed spa bath)

I loved how cute the outside of the cabins. Inside they were clean and modernish. Things do need to be updated in the cabin like the bins, curtains, bed bases and bathroom. Otherwise it was comfortable, good price and secure.

I sincerely apologize for the condition of the cabin you experienced during your stay. It's clear that we failed to meet not only our standard of cleanliness but, more importantly, your expectations. Issues like mold, uncleaned facilities, and inadequate cutlery are simply inexcusable. I deeply regret the additional inconvenience caused by external disturbances. We are taking your feedback seriously and will initiate immediate corrective actions. We genuinely hope you'd consider giving us another opportunity in the future to demonstrate our commitment to quality and service.
