Cosy and clean chalet to be in! Its private, amazing views, cool facilities (sauna and jacuzzi)
Maybe the self check in sign could be more obvious. But thankfully we were able to contact the owners and they were a great help to us.

I liked the sauna and the spa facilities and the fact that you get the whole hut to yourself.
The shower pressure was very poor, hard to wash your hair and the temperature was unstable. There was no microwave or dining table inside, you expect this when you get a whole house. You only got the one set of towels regardless of how many nights your staying, there should be extras available when using the sauna/spa. You also didn't get refills on tea/coffee like you do in a hotel which was dissapointing. There was no contain with the owners, only the self check in, and I tried messaging through bookings about the laundry service but never got a response. There also wasn't curtains on the back door, so anyone could walk past and see in, which didn't feel very private.
