The location was excellent. Mountains, hills and the River Dee practically at our doorstep. The cabin was clean, tidy with everything needed to ensure a great short break. The hosts were friendly and informative. Couldn't have been nicer.
The whole experience was just what we were looking for.

Nicely furnished house, with a small terrace, so you can sit outside. You can use the jacuzzi. The house was clean. There was a nice view and you can walk to the river through a meadow. It was quiet, we were not bothered by the other houses
The shower overflowed after just a minute, maybe a problem with the drain? We couldn't take a good shower, because everything would get wet down to the wooden floor of the room. New houses are being built. This won't cause you any inconvenience, but it will look messy.
