“Excellent-beyond-expectation stay!”
Excellent-beyond-expectation stay! The view is indescribable and changes every few minutes. The unit is beautiful, cosy and tastefully decorated. Attention was given to the smallest detail. The hosts gave us a warm welcome for the key handover and even started the fireplace as it was 15 degrees when we arrived. The hottub was the highlight and we will definitely recommend The Tin Shack to everyone!

“Incredible hosts, beautiful and peaceful location. Would highly recommend!”
The owners met us upon arrival and were very friendly and helpful! We ended up running very late and upon our arrival, we were met by two friendly hosts who started the fireplace for us and the hot tub was already warm and ready to use. Just a magical welcome in a beautiful location.

“Great weekend away!”
I had an incredible experience at this accommodation, thanks to the exceptional hosts, Marna and Brian. They truly went above and beyond to ensure my stay was memorable. The house itself was equipped with every essential item one could possibly need, and I was particularly impressed by the meticulous attention to detail in even the smallest things. The hot tub provided a fantastic way to unwind and enjoy the breathtaking view of the sea. Overall, it was an outstanding stay.
