We had a lovely stay here. The owners were super friendly and explained everything clearly, which was really helpful. The hut itself was stunning, cosyand had all the essentials we needed. The bed was comfyand it was warm enough not to bother lighting the fire or turning on the heater. The enclosed garden was much bigger than we thought and spotless. Our dog loved having so much space to run aroundand we felt totally safe. We'd definitely come back! Thanks a lot for having us.

We stayed here for our first Christmas as a married couple and honestly, it was fantastic! The location is spot on, with plenty of nearby walksand if you prefer, buses run close by. The cabin itself is spotless and comfy, with an extra shed for storage. The views are breathtaking, especially from the hot tub - perfect for star gazing. The hosts are really friendly and helpful but also give you space. We were there for six nightsand it's just a wonderful place. Definitely recommend!
