There were some cobwebs in the ceiling which looked old, and also some bugs had got into the room. The windows had been left open prior to our arrival so it’s possible some of the bugs came inside after the room was cleaned. Either way, window screens would be a good investment to help keep the bugs outside.

We booked late and I think as a result got the cheapest family cabin option. If we had the opportunity we would have preferred a cabin that had less mould on the walls and less spiders/insects and perhaps would have enjoyed our stay more. We were happy with the bathroom which was updated and clean. However, cooling was inadequate but in part due to not wanting to open all the windows in the evening due to the biting bugs. It’s in a beautiful location and the surrounding area is very pretty. The staff were also lovely. I wouldn’t discount returning, but would not stay in the same cabin again.
