This was a perfect stay. The views were absolutely amazing and it felt like we were in our own little world. The spacing between the next door pods/ shepards huts allowed for privacy.

The location, hut and surrounds were really a break away from it all. Hut was cosy and well equipped and the hot tub was an additional treat to enhance the relaxation. It was a real shame that the peace and beauty were spoiled by other guests barking dogs, especially through the night. Don't come if you want to sleep without being disturbed!

Perfect accommodation for a short break. The location was absolutely breath taking and so peaceful. The kitchenette was more equipped than I realised! Only thing I would say is that walking to the local pub and amenities is not advisable as the lane is quite treacherous. We had the best weekend and would stay again.
