The Shack is a shack

Amazing place but need to realise it is not glamorous - could have a bit of attention but lovely anyway. We had a great time and the setting is stunning.

Not too impressed

Advertising was very misleading Say sleeps 8, but no allowances for teenagers to have privacy. Well equipped and close to all amenities. Bit miffed got charged extra 2 people when only 5 ended up staykng due to room configuration.
