We found this to be a very good balance of getting away from it all in rustic surroundings, but still with some important comforts like a decent bed, hot showers and a well equipped communal kitchen. The open plan lounge/kitchen had comfy couches and a lovely woodburning fire that made it really cozy. Beth and the rest of the staff were exceptional hosts. They were attentive, but not intrusive and made sure we had all we needed. The breakfasts were delicious and imaginative. We did our own kayaking, but guests that did use their guides and equipment were very complimentary.
