    I was traveling for work and one of the needs I have is WiFi. Unfortunately I couldn’t connect any of my devices.

    Loved that it was tucked out the way - so private

    Initial problems locking the door, but that was sorted for me. The temperature of the shower was difficult to control, but I also explained that to Rosie.

    Quiet, peaceful location in beautiful surroundings. The hut was beautifully decorated. The bed was extremely comfortable and I slept really well. Rosie was a great host and helped me with a lot of stuff. I liked it so much, I've booked to stay again soon!

    The front door was a bit sticky and I couldn't lock it. I worked out the 'knack' after a while though.

    Cute little place to stay in lovely area, was perfect for me and my little girl, she loved the large lawn to pay on and watched the bats at bedtime

    The bathroom was tiny but adequate and the decking was a bit unstable but we loved it.

    Beautiful quiet location and very cosy with everything you need.

    Couldn’t secure the lock on the front door at bedtime, so we had to pull the bench across the door. Lucky we had the dogs really. But it would have been very unsettling fire anyone with anxiety issues, or alone. Plus the welcome wasn’t very friendly, with only one person talking to us. We rang ahead, to see if we could drop of our backs and go, which was fine. We had two dogs, one small, one medium sized (Lab). We’d barely got out the car when she (Rosie?) said “I didn’t realise you had a big dog”..? Strange…we left with ten mins and returned after 6.30pm. We never heard or saw the hosts once. It made us feel too awkward to call them back out @11pm re the lock. It was a comfortable stay, but, we were staying there on my actual birthday and it didn’t feel as enjoyable as it should have, sadly.

    The setting was secluded, quiet and picturesque. The chalet itself was set out well.

    Shower tray filled up with water rather than emptying so needed some maintenance Only 1 shower towel per couple No coffee sachets available, 2 sugars and 2 tea bags but did have 2 hot chocolate sachets Needs some maintenance especially the deck

    The location was lovely, down a lane in the middle of the countryside with very little passing traffic yet 5 minutes from the motorway junction. Set up was cute and very pleasant. Rosie was very friendly and accommodating Sheep and new lambs at the bottom of the garden!

    Only one night stay.

    Set in the garden but it had everything you needed. Sofa bed, kitchenette and shower room. Brilliant design. Slept like a log. Stable door was fabulous. On a scorching hot day it helped a lot.

    The wifi was not that great and we struggled to get a phone signal but that was also a benefit as well.

    This is a really cute hideaway perfect for a short stay in a lovely location. It felt very private and was great for our dog. It was nice to have the deck chairs so we could sit outside.
