The hot tub is a particular highlight, enjoyed by both adults and children. The property is ideally situated for exploring the island, and the thoughtful welcome packs are much appreciated. While a few minor improvements were suggested, such as updating bedroom curtains and providing extra essentials, the overall experience is highly positive and guests are keen to return.
Guests frequently describe the property as spotless and exceptionally clean, with no significant complaints about cleanliness. Only a minor mention of tatty bedroom curtains was noted, but this did not detract from the overall impression.
The location is repeatedly praised for its beauty, tranquillity, and convenience for exploring the island. One guest noted it was a bit expensive, but this did not relate to the location itself.
Reviews highlight the peaceful setting, well-equipped accommodation, and comfortable layout. The hot tub and quiet surroundings contribute to a relaxing stay, with only minor suggestions for improvement.
Facilities such as the hot tub, kitchen, and pet-friendly amenities are highly praised. Some guests suggested providing more toilet roll and washing liquid, and updating curtains, but overall the facilities are considered excellent.

Lovely hosts and outstanding accomodation. Welcome pack for both us and our dog was lovely. A well thought out layout and kitchen, which came fully equipped with everything you could need and more. Hot tub is a really nice addition and was maintained to the highest standard. If you want a dog friendly peaceful location then this is the place to stay.

This was our second visit to Rossiters within the year. Dornfeld is a lovely Cabin/lodge. It is well equipped. The curtains in the main bedroom need replacing as they look tatty around the edges.More toilet roll should be supplied and may be some washing liquid for the machine.The Hot Tub was wonderful after our daily hikes. We were fortunate with the weather, now wet clothes for us that week.We will definitely be returning
