idyllic getaway
beautiful privacy perfect temperature cozy feel easy lighting
I loved the beautiful privacy the pool cabin offered. the yorkshire views were divine, and the hot tub was always at the perfect temperature. we kept the wood burner going. the staff prepped everything for us. Lighting it became so easy.
the dining chairs were wood, and a tad uncomfortable.
