The pet-friendly space is multi-award winning and “built to invoke total relaxation with its round shape, use of natural materials and open-plan design to bring families and friends effortlessly together,” the listing notes.
Entertainment is provided, if you’re looking for something to do during your stay (other than simply exploring the wondrous surroundings), like playing board games and reading.
Or want to connect with the outside world? There’s unlimited — and free — Wi-Fi.
The rental currently has a five-star rating and many guests have been nothing short of impressed during their stays.

“This is truly a very unique and special place,” another guest commented. “It felt warm and welcoming from the minute we stepped inside and for the next hour we kept spotting ‘new’ things around it.”
“Absolutely magic,” someone said. “Stayed there for 4 nights, could have easily done 40 more! So peaceful, and loads of lovely walks close by. One of the best holidays we’ve ever had. Can’t wait to go back!”
