Place is situated in a breathtaking place where you have views that are outstanding, plenty of wildlife to see. Remember to take everything you need as there is not shops for miles. Only thing I would say negative about the place they provide washing machine but no liquid or tablets are provided. Dish washer tablets there were only 5 and we were there for 7 nights. Very small amount of washing up liquid, 2 toilet rolls and 2 black bags. I normally take all that sort of stuff with me but I forgot. However the price you pay for the accommodation I do not know why this is not all provided. Apart from that the place is ideal if you want away from the world. Would defo return and will remember to take all the stuff required next time.
