    Not a lot of lighting around the hut which made it difficult to get to the toilet block once dark.

    Area was secluded and very quiet. The owners provided everything they said in the post and even more. Owners dogs were incredibly friendly and even visited us multiple times a day.

    Having to leave . . .

    The location and total solitude, the birdlife in the valley, the walks from the hut - all exceptional, including the welcome.

    This little hut for glamping/camping was idyllic. We had a lot of outdoor space for sitting in the sun and the bed was confortable for two people (and my partner is 6 foot 3). We had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Joanna and her husband were so welcoming and accommodating. The top feature really was the two dogs! Bundle and Purdy are friendly, gentle, gorgeous dogs who love attention. We will be back for a visit.

    The location is beautiful, surrounded by nature and greenery. You are pretty much the only humans there (alongside the owners who are there to help with anything but also very aware people will want to visit to just switch off and relax). The only other neighbours are the sheep, birds and cows in a few fields away. The compost loo was absolutely fine and very easy to use. The shower is easy, just warm your free flowing cold water, stick the pump into the bucket of warm water and hey presto - you have a really lovely shower.

    More jam and marmalade for sale 😜

    We liked everything about this place. Amazingly peaceful countryside that we can’t wait to visit again. The hut is just perfect, cosy and every detail was thought through. It’s small but it has everything you need. I wouldn’t change a thing. We felt so relaxed, free and happy. I cannot mention the jam and marmalade. It brought back the childhood memories. Exactly as my nan used to make 🥹 Thank you.

    The mattress was bit dogy but it was nothing compare to beautiful experience I had.

    Robert and his wife were extra welcoming and Bundle and Perry were the most welcoming dogs. I came for my birthday for a retreat and they gave me a free bottle of wine and left a card in the hut... I felt very treated. The place is a paradise! Absolutely 100% surrounded by nature. The place itself is super private and safe. It is ideal if you wish to have time to unwind and stay away from the city loudness. Lot of places to walk around and explore... I will be back.

    We liked everything. The location was magical. Peace and quiet, just what we needed to forget about our busy lives and work. Fully equipped hut, comfortable bed. Everything is so cute and cozy. 2 lovely dogs kept us company. We lit the fire every evening. We loved every bit of the whole experience.

    Nothing comes to mind at all, we really enjoyed it!

    Very cosy, lots of lovely scenery and great walking routes. We were given a very warm welcome from James, (and Perdy!) who showed us where everything was and how to use the facilities. The hut was very clean and welcoming, everything was easy to find and use. Plenty of firewood and kindling/fire starters we’re provided, enough (for us) for the whole weekend. Lots of great areas around the hut for various activities such as the picnic bench was great for crafts and eating dinner outside. Almost everything needed for the stay was provided except things you’d be expected to provide for yourself.
