The cabin is tidy and clean, with a natural view. My kids and I stayed for three days, and it was great. I met a lovely lady next door. She gave me a couple of plants before we left! It was an amazing experience!

Glamping Cabin - Glamping CabinJun 2023

Was good just to get away for a couple days from everything. Enjoyed the outdoor fire and the lake, where we did some fishing and caught a few nice fish. Nice to see the Swans on the lake, as well as ducks etc There was no TV like in the picture, but was not a problem for me as the whole point was just to get away from screens for a while. Barbeque was missing the rack, but we just used a disposable one inside it, which worked fine. Has what you need for camping.
