    “John’s Folly is a beautiful cabin in stunning surrounds with the most amazing view.”

    Exceptionally comfortable with all the amenities you could wish for. The cabin is particularly special in the late afternoon when the decking and lounge is bathed in sunshine. You don’t need to leave the place to have the most amazing stay. But should you wish, there are walks from the doorstep and a town with all amenities near by. Fantastic communication from the owner and very helpful recommendations. Would definitely recommend and visit again, thank you.
