Summary: This cosy cabin has 3 bedrooms – we chose the ground floor one, next to the bathroom. The bed was very comfortable. The outdoor shower is delightful. Skuli, the host, is very helpful and answers queries promptly. He can also offer suggestions for activities in the area. There is a Eufy camera in the lounge – we asked if we could cover it when in the house and Skuli was happy for us to do so. There's loads to do on a rainy day – a big TV with Netflix/Disney/YouTube, boardgames, books, even a PlayStation 3! The kitchen is very well-equipped and overall cleanliness is good – though we didn't use the barbecue because it needed a good clean. The location is wonderful – peaceful, quiet, surrounded by birds and mountains. We would definitely stay there again.
