The place is a little bit tiered and neglected Two couches in the lounge are beyond comfort sitting. The TV shelf hits your right in the back of your head if you decide to use the second couch. Something can be changed to make it more convenient.In general, it was nice feel of a log cabin Cleaning supplies for the kitchen were very low and a bottle opener exhausted from opening wine bottles

First stay log cabin

This was our first stay at the log cabin at Lyford and we found this to be very comfortable and welcoming. The location was very quiet and peaceful. Very tidy and had all the amenities, great fire place which kept the place warm throughout. Would recommend this as a place for a quiet getaway with only a short drive from Christchurch.

Great night out in a cute wee cabin

We were not there long enough to experience the space fully. But I think from what I saw its a great space with an awesome little fireplace. The space was a bit dirty on arrival with ashes in the fire place. But all and all not to bad

The fire was still burning during the morning of your arrival so we left it burning as to keep heating the house. Ashes belong in the fireplace - it's how it's done 😁. I would not call that dirt: it's a necessity for heating when you're in the mountains. Except for scooping out ashes when it gets too full, you do not 'clean' the inside of a fireplace.

Quiet Quant

Perfect time away. Wish it could have been longer. Close to the road, which was ok, but would have preferred no road noise. The toilet up stairs keeps running if you don't pull the flush button up. Shame check out can't be 10am as felt a little rushed to leave. BUT all in all loved it. Clean and very lovely place. Will hopefully stay again.

Lovely place shame about the cluster flies

The log cabin was tidy and well equipped. The fire was lovely, bed comfy and plenty of space. We were told about the cluster fly problem on arrival and needed to vacuum several times during our stay as the flies were in abundance. Although not your usual flies this did detract from the enjoyment of our stay
