“Our stay exceeded our expectations, and I didn’t want to leave! The location was really peaceful, there was a small area of woodland, lots of birds and different types of moss, and a pond full of tadpoles and froglets. The cabin had everything we needed to cook and store enough food for a couple of nights.”
“Cosy cabin, felt like we were the only people there. Quiet, just the wildlife in the background. Beautiful views from the windows.”
“The perfect break from the stresses of everyday life. I only wish I could have stayed longer. The cabin had everything needed for a truly relaxing stay, we were able to cook our own meals with no problems and everything we needed to do so. The directions and instructions were perfect and as we arrived quite late in the day the key in the door was very helpful! The wood burner was perfect and kept us extremely warm for the whole time we were there even though the wind was howling and the rain coming down outside, we were super cosy inside. The compost toilet was straight forward and the instructions on use were well explained. The lovely big windows were fantastic, I could have sat and watched the weather and the sheep for days! Once we’d worked out how to use the electricity for the lighting, which was perfectly easy, the cabin was even cosier! Oh and the chocolate buttons left for us on the bed were so delicious that we had to source more from a local shop for us to bring home! A perfect weekend, I’m already dying to come back!”
“The cabin Cilfa was amazing. All the information was given to me before my stay, directions, places to visit and what I needed to bring. On arrival it was self check in which I also loved. You just turned up with the key in the door and could start your open country side space straight away. The open space was mind blowing but the Cosby hit didn’t make you feel isolated specially as I was on my own.”
