Lovely bottle of champagne on the table on the way in really nice. How ever the hut it self was so cold the temp on the wall said 5 degrees centigrade. There was no wall heating at all and the under floor heating was off and took till lunch time the next day to get up to 15c. The bed was lovely and comfortable but felt damp with the cold. May be the owner could have put the heating on the day before we arrived to keep it warm n damp free. How ever there was extra blankets available and I had some with me just incase . In the fridge there was 2 glass bottles of water one had frozen as it was so cold in side which I lifted out and it shattered into the sink as it thawed out. I would stay again as the hut and views were amazing. Thanks Bruce
