Was so tranquil and relaxing even with the rain. The day we were leaving we got a flat tyre from one of the pointy rocks and we ended up having to wait 10 hours for a tyre fitter to come and replace our tyre as we didnât have a spare wheel (we do now) and the owners were very understanding and allowed us back in the cabin while we waited which I donât know how we would have coped waiting in the car especially with having two send children. Will be visiting again one day along with the spare wheel.
