Dec 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, location #### Ok for a night’s stay These are adequate basic cabins but with booking fees are expensive for this type of accommodation. It’s not clear from the advertising but the toilet and bathroom are situated elsewhere on the site, as is the kitchen. All fine but the advertisement could by clearer about what’s available and the configuration of it all. ##### Christine L.
