Guests say
Guests have had a delightful experience at Barn Owl Cabin, praising its well-appointed interiors, cleanliness, and the thoughtful touches provided by the hosts, including a gift bag for dogs. The serene, idyllic location offers easy access to local attractions, with the cabin being a peaceful retreat amidst woods and wildlife. The absence of a TV and toaster were minor inconveniences for some, but the overall sentiment is highly positive, with many looking forward to returning.
The cabin is consistently described as spotlessly clean, with one review specifically highlighting its cleanliness. This suggests a very high standard of cleanliness maintained by the hosts.
The location is praised for being serene and idyllic, centrally located with easy access to the coast and inland attractions. Its proximity to walks, wildlife reserves, and clean air contributes to a high score.
Comfort is well-regarded with mentions of lovely linens and a good shower. However, one guest found the swimming pool too cold, which slightly impacts the score.
Facilities are generally appreciated, including modern amenities like an air fryer and good Wi-Fi. The lack of a TV and toaster, and one mention of ineffective washing-up liquid, suggest room for improvement.
The hosts are commended for their thoughtfulness, especially for providing gift bags for dogs, although it should be noted that such gifts are a kind gesture and not guaranteed.
