Very basic cabin. Clean and very quiet location. Only stayed one night, so suitable for our purpose however there is nothing on site and location isn’t walking distance to anything. Really aimed and suitable for fishing families or as a base stop.

Nice and clean in a good location. A couple more pots and pans of smaller sizes would have been nice but it wasn't the end of the world.
A privacy curtain on the entrance door would be good and the aircon remote batteries were nearly flat which made it a bit tricky to adjust, otherwise I highly recommend this location.

Not bad
Advert needs updating as advises check-in instructions will be provided 24hr prior to check in though no comms received until 1 hour before check-in leaving us a little nervous.. cabin was suitable for our one night stay in a nice quiet location though cleaning of the linen and bathroom needs some improvement.
Es war wirklich gut.Wir hatten einen schönen Aufenthalt
Alles sauber und die Betten bequem.
Die Lage auch gut.Nur wenige Minuten bis zum Meer und eine kurze Wagenstrecke zur Mine,was der Grund fùr die Auswahl war.
Vielen Dank an die Bewirtschafter.
PS Die Airkondition kõnnte eine Reinigung vertragen
