Set in a beautiful location the property offers itself as a wonderful base for exploring the area. The pathway to the property is steep. If you have any mobility problems do your research before booking. The appliances for cooking are sparse and the area for food preparation is small, we lived on microwave meals all week. The shower room is more thRead morean adequate and the shower itself was hot and powerful. As I said, a great base for exploring the area but I don't think this was the property for us. Hide

The place is spot on. A point about the location, when going up the narrow road you get to a fork in the road, make sure you take the left narrow track to Craswall. It is a narrow track with passing places. As regards the Cabin, I wish we had one of these for ourselves, think that says it all.
