We had a fantastic stay at Hogberts Hideaway. We were there for a 70th birthday celebration - there were 9 of us (+ 1 dog) with ages ranging from 2 years old - 70 years old and the accommodation catered for everyone perfectly. The location is great with lots of lovley walks and a fantastic play park next door for the children at the Visitors Centre. The accommodation worked really well for our large party. Communcation from the host Matt was great too, and nothing too much trouble. I would highly recommend this accommodation.

Excellent location with views of the nature reserve and sunset.Cinema room was a hit with all ages.Unfortunately we found the house a little tired in places, beds, pillows and bedding could be improved on.It was disappointing to find the oven not clean or working well.This said, our family enjoyed their break.
