"We had a comfortable stay in the cabin, and our host was very accommodating."

We had a really lovely stay overall, and this review is meant to be honest so that future guests aren't taken by surprise as we were. On arrival, our host moved us to the cabin because the Den was underneath the main house (not shown in photos) and filled with wasps. Our host was very kind and accommodating. Supper was provided per request on the Friday night at a small additional fee and was very nice. We were told about all the local attractions and given directions to a waterfall on the property. We were disappointed by small things such as small holes in the blankets and no microwave for heating up food. The road to get to the accommodation was also very bad, and we struggled a bit with our Polo Vivo. If it had rained, we would not have been able to make it in our car. We would have appreciated some warning on the website or from the host. We were also kept up with dogs barking late into the night and a rooster crowing at 4am. We really enjoyed the effort our host put into making the cabin eco-friendly. We were even allowed access to our hosts' garden, which was filled with herbs. On our last day, we were joined on the deck by a very lovable cat who enjoyed some warm tea and fantastic views of the Hogsback mountains with us. We really did enjoy our stay and spent most of our time sightseeing and visiting waterfalls recommended by our lovely host. The cabin allowed us to have a comfortable and relaxing evening where we could rest up for the following day.
