    The sweetest little log cabin. We absolutely loved it. Spent a few hours in the spa pool on both of our nights. Just a wonderful stay.

    loved it all

    This is such a special and unique property , crafted by an artist and well cared for by the current owners who were very welcoming and warm and friendly. The cabin is small but really comfortable and as previously stated truely unique. The environment is special and not far from a great little cafe.

    Slip on slippers for visiting the toilet / shower room in the evening. Or take your own slip on shoes.

    This rustic "hidden cabin" was truly amazing. So quiet, we had the whole outside space and hot tub to ourselves. Continental breakfast was available and the separate toilet / shower room was very novel and quaint. The hosts were amazing and very helpful. They'd thought of everything to make the stay the best!

    Hillside Retreat - Lovely Space

    For a night it was just fine for a minimal cooking space ( No refrigerator - it did have cutlery / cups/ glasses/ bowls / plates ) . Town is very close so it’s easy to go down for meals for longer stays. This cabin is simple for a simple 1-2 night stay, Their loft would be great for anything longer. The property is very well positioned !

    Stunning Property 5 minutes from town centre , beautiful smells of Pine and Private . The Spa at the doorstep was a big winner, and a lovely cup of tea amongst the chirping birds and chickens was relaxation on point. My five year old loved riding her bike around the property and it was safe and quiet! Great hosts , Chickens and Skyler ( the dog) included! —- Cheers

    There wasn’t a lot not to like!

    This a very personal place. Set in a pinewood. Hosts were fabulous. Cabin is just the bedroom, lounge is under the stars etc. we enjoyed an evening in the hot pool drinking wine sheltered from the wind by the trees. This is a very special experience.

    It was lovely, possibly adding more divider fences around spa for extra privacy would be nice, maybe a mini fridge on deck or covered somewhere, but it was great considering it's a tiny wee hut, they have made great use of limited space.

    The vibe is super nice, very cute wee area, hot tub was perfect. Nice place to stay. Being able to take our dog was really great, love that the hosts were very nice people and respected privacy. The sheets were so soft, room was clean. Was a fun wee experience with a nice change of scenery, and so easy to get into Alex for tea as isn't too far away.

    Nothing. Just a suggestion - could do with some hooks on back of bathroom door and a clothes line to hang towels/swimwear.

    Everything, hot tub, bed very comfortable. Really friendly helpful hosts. E-bikes. Enjoyed the whole experience.
