1 Minafon Reviews

Fantastic property, exactly as described in the listing! Hot tub was easy to use and very clean, entire house was clean and tidy, beds very comfortable, as was the electric recliner couch, easy to use log burner, internet was fast, and 4G reception on EE was a bonus considering the remoteness of the property! All in all, we will DEFINITELY be going back again
1 minfon was in the ideal location for our New Years Eve and birthday celebrations. The idyllic location was beautiful and the easy to use hot tub was relaxing and kept us warm on the frosty nights. The cottage was spacious and had everything we needed. The cottage is quite dated and we did have a few niggles with cleanliness in some rooms, however this did not spoil our stay and would recommend to others.
