It was lovely and clean, cosy, and the highlight was definitely the hot tub. We enjoyed the beautiful views from the hut each morning, we will definitely be returning.

Lovely and clean and cosy particularly the cute little wood burning stove which made it very homely. Saw lots of red kites, pheasants and other birds and the first tree creeper I've seen in 10 years. Great for looking at the stars due to low light pollution levels. Thanks for a lovely 5 days. Jo and Betty

Perfect for a short break away. We did have a problem with the hot tub not working properly due to a power cut but the owners were more than helpful getting it sorted out and most apologetic. Much appreciated
