    The views from the hut was brilliant open fields cattle birds little details here now. We were in the countryside yet five minutes from town. The house were brilliant very very friendly. Had a lovely barbecue under the tree with a glass of wine I say what more could you ask for?

    I knew there was no bathroom before I went, so it kind of doesn't count. Take some wet wipes and a small rubbish bag with you, and dispose of responsibly in the grey bin.

    Very peaceful and clean. Well equipped with microwave and kettle, crockery, cutlery. Double socket with 2 USB ports by the bed. Recycling bins for paper, card and some CLEAN plastics available, all explained in the purple folder on top of the microwave. Host was lovely and very helpful.

    Booking.com got some details wrong (number of beds for example) and host is unable to change it.

    It was a beautiful location and really cosy. The hosts are genuinely lovely people. It's the ideal spot for a getaway and at a very affordable price.

    It was very cold, but then it was January and had been snowing, so that wasn't surprising!

    Great little hut - perfect for spending the single night that I was in the area. Kettle etc in the property, which was great, and comfy bed with plenty of blankets!

    Granny’s hut was a gorgeous little room with a magical old feel to it that made our stay so relaxing, Zoe was so pleasant and so helpful with recommendations of places to eat and everything was easily in 5 minutes travel, despite the hut feeling so out of the way and peaceful. Couldn’t rate our stay high enough

    Just to be aware, the composting toilet is right next to the cabin but you do have to go outside (for all of three feet) to get to it. No shower or bath so only really suitable for a short stay. There is a small sink so you can brush your teeth.

    Quiet rural location, quirky, different and very comfortable. Reasonably priced. The hut has a microwave oven, which is useful. Nearby Dalveen Pass A702 (recommended by the host) was a treat to ride on my motorcycle. Also you can walk through the woods to Morton castle. Well worth the effort. I would definitely stay again.

    The bed was very comfortable and it was useful to have tea/coffee and sugar on arrival especially after a very long drive. The small heater quickly made the room toasty and the hut retained the warmth overnight.

    The cold weather

    It is a cute old fashioned looking home of gypsy style. The place was clean and comfortable, I loved the experience, it was cute even having to go out at night to the toilet next door. Other than that it was freezing cold but I simply loved the whole thing and would definitely stay again. Worth the travel for the one night. I would like to stay longer next time. The host was very nice and friendly and was happy to show me how everything worked. I recommend Granny's hut.

    There is running water in the hut to wash with but no actual shower - we didnt mind as staying for one night but something to consider for longer stays!

    Beautiful location, very peaceful but within walking distance of village. Hosts were lovely and had two very friendly labradors too! Grannys hut is basic but has everything you need and we were cosy and comfortable!
