"Lovely cabin with everything you'd need once inside. Unfortunately, I arrived after hours and the safe code the proprietor kindly messaged to me through the Hotels.com app was wrong. I couldn't get hold of anyone but managed to figure out the code myself and get in after 30 mins. Please note I could not detect any Wi-Fi in cabin C7, so have some mobile data available if you need to work. I'd definitely stay again."
