The woodland setting, with the hot tub was perfect for relaxing and unwinding. The owners were lovely and really helpful. The perfect short break away.

Just the sounds of the woods, the wood fired hottub was a nice treat too. The place was lovely and clean and smelled really nice. Bracken fern has everything you might need for a relaxing stay. We have already recommended to friends and we would love to come back and try the new cabins when they're open!
