Went by myself for my birthday and absolutely loved it. The Hut was spotless and had everything you need. The hot tub was lovely and hot. Met the owner the once when I got there and he was very nice. Had a lovely walk down to the pub for Dinner which was very nice too.Definitely booking again for next year and would recommend to anyone wanting time away from the craziness of home life and work.

Had a lovely, secluded countryside stay. The place had everything we needed to disconnect for the weekend and enjoy the hot tub.
