Our second time staying at this property, we even had the very same cabin. Steve, the host was fantastic. He made it nice and simple for our late arrival and popped in to check if we needed anything in the morning. We will absolutely stay here again. Fantastic location surrounded by nature. Thanks again Steve.

It's in a magical location with a special atmosphere all of it's own. If you look past the cobwebs, spiders and walls in desperate need of a paint, the important amenities (sheets, kitchen, floor, toilet) were clean. An enjoyable stay!

6/10 Good

After our room had been given to another party the owner did correct this. The chalet was filthy. Dust, mould, filthy dush brush, spiders in the bathroom, stain on the bunk sheet, broken window latch meant we couldnt shut it, door didnt lock. The room was warm with 2x heaters and the area quiet apart from mice in the ceiling at night.

Cute little cabin needs a good scrub
Cute little cabin and had everything we needed but thick cobwebs inside the windows with spiders, dirty inside window frames and kitchen shelves, some dirty and smelly towels, some dishes dirty, outside furniture and deck mildew - could have easily been a wonderful stay but this made it very average. Sorry guys, someone needs to give Cabin 2 a good clean and then it would be wonderful.

This is a Bach style accommodation all separate units in a large garden/ field, has an out door bbq. Units are basic but were clean with good shower and plenty of hot water.

Quaint and cosy accommodation
A most friendly host and quaint surroundings, with simple amenities. The beautiful surroundings, the pizza oven [with host providing the pizza dough] and clustered cottages made for a cosy ‘community’ feel. Given the price range one could not complain. The Sandcastle offers comfortable, toasty warm accommodation on a budget.
