Lovely clean cabin, lovely friendly host. Much smaller than I thought it would be and didn’t realise we would have to maintain the hot tub ourselves, emptying, filling and lighting.

Rowan cabin was lovely, it was very clean, cozy with easily controlled heaters. Gillian made sure we had everything we needed and the welcome info provided was helpful. We all had a wonderful holiday (family of 4). The hot tub was lovely but it took a really long time to heat up which meant we couldn't spend as much time in it as we would have liked. We loved using the fire pit and toasting sausages and marshmallows. We would definitely recommend Rowan to others.
