We had such a lovely long weekend! The hut and surrounding area was absolutely beautiful, it was such a peaceful getaway. It was lovely having the lake right in front with the ducks and picnic table. Would be even better in the summer! The hut itself was very cosy, comfortable and clean with special touches such as the star lights on the ceiling above the bed, and the privacy of our own hot tub tucked away. We loved going on an alpaca trek, and visiting belvoir castle. There were also plenty of good recommendations for attractions and restaurants/pubs in the booklet provided in the hut which was really helpful. Despite being away himself Chris was very responsive with any questions we had and really accommodating and was happy for us to message or call him if we needed anything which was really appreciated.

Our whole experience here was absolutely magical from start to finish. The owner Chris was away when we first arrived but still provided a first class service at the other end of the phone whenever we needed him. He was so kind and personable and made sure he personally introduced himself to us when he arrived back. The hut itself was stunning, all the facilities we needed and more including twinkling star lights above the bed which made such a cosy and romantic atmosphere. Everything was thoroughly clean and their cleaner does an absolutely fantastic job, and always goes the extra mile to check if thereâs anything she can do for you. The hot tub was wonderful, and the views you could absorb while relaxing were second to none. We spent many nights sat outside in front of our hut toasting marshmallows and overlooking the lake and listening to the sounds of nature. If youâre thinking about booking, donât hesitate and just do. As a couple weâve been on many holidays together including abroad and this is by far the best of them all, the memories weâve made and the peaceful and relaxing atmosphere was everything we needed. We will be back in no time!!!

The hut and the surrounding area was so beautiful and there was a lot of things for us to do. The owner Chris greeted us and all throughout our stay he was always there to help if we needed anything. I would definitely recommend this.
