We wanted somewhere secluded with amazing views and we got that. The added bonus was seeing the lambs and the bluebell wood was breathtaking our 2yr old staffy Reggie was in heaven chasing squirrels he slept all day when we returned. Thank you for an amazing find we will definitely return next year.

A wonderful little peaceful haven to get away from it all. We came here with our dogs to escape the noise of all the New Years Eve fireworks and it was so peaceful. We loved using the hot tub under the stars. The view from the hut is priceless. We will definitely return in the warmer months to make more use of the lovely outdoor area. The milk, eggRead mores and Welsh cakes were a lovely touch. Hide

A beautiful hut with spectacular views and complete solitude (apart from the sheep and the occasional visit by the shepherd in the adjoining field). A great way to switch off and get back to nature but with the home comforts of heating, lighting, bathroom and a super comfy bed! The weather was very kind to us for the time of year if not chilly, andRead more the hot tub was a real treat once you got it filled and heated.

A lovely romantic getaway with stunning views although take a few extra layers as very chilly winds blow through the hillside even on warmer days. Time and patience needed to prep the hot tub but worth the wait. Very warm, comfy bed for a great nights sleep. Fabulous little place to unwind and relax for a few days.
