The cabin was beautiful. Unfortunately there was a very strong fish smell that lingered throughout our stay. Otherwise I would say it was absolutely perfect!

Another amazing stay
We returned to the forest hideaway again this year and found it even better than before. The host is super nice and very responsive to questions and needs. It was fully stocked with everything we needed for a fabulous holiday. The beach is perfect for young children as it is shalllow and goes on for miles at low tide.
