The location was superb, with views of the sea and bay. The staff members were friendly and helpful. The cabin was clean and well-equipped. It was suitable for up to two people.
The cabin was a bit dated. The fridge did not shut properly and was not cold enough. There was also no way to adjust the temperature. The bathroom and shower were quite small.
