Lou one of the owners is absolutely lovely and meet us on arrival. Firstly the location is amazing, and so peaceful. Looking out over open fields and listening to the birds over the ponds is wonderful. The cabin its self is beautifully furnished with a very comfy bed! I love that the kitchen and bathroom area is completely separate to the bedroom which is a rare find. When I say they have thought of everything, I really mean it. Anything we needed we found. And all the equipment and appliances are high quality. The hot tub is completely private and appreciated after many long walks you have around you. We absolutely loved our stay and will be booking to come back in the New Year.

We were greeted by Lou and Phil at arrival and they were very welcoming. The pod and external area were so nice warm, cosy and clean. The hot tub was great to relax in the evening and the area was just so quiet and peaceful. Thank you for an amazing stay
