Overall worth it

8.0

We loved the rustic part about the unit. And it was cosy. It had everything we needed to cook a proper meal. Bed was comfy

We didn't enjoy the smell of the thatch roof. The shower head spews everywhere, so that's a bit annoying. I didn't realize that there was no wifi, but we actually loved that in the end (Legolas)

Great location and friendly staff, who were very helpful. The fire place made the little house so cosy. Must be great in warmer months when you can enjoy the sunrise at the lookout points and all the outdoor tables and entertainment nooks and areas.

The cosy Hobbit with the miniture doors and bath is cute, but it would be nice if you could put up a curtain rail and a hook for the hand shower so bigger people have options.... Also a few more door hooks to hang wet towels. The kitchen, bathroom and living area needs a deep clean too please - the couch pillows could easily just the covered with new darker slip covers. And the cutlery can be topped up, we only had 2 forks between 4 people.

Great location

Not clean, wrong phone number on booking.com. Heater not working, few utensils in the kitchen. Restaurant often close. This place needs an overhaul.
