Words can't begin to describe how amazing our stay was! We chose this beautiful location to share our first anniversary together and it was perfect from our arrival to our departure! Jan and Paul went above and beyond to make our stay what it was, a beautiful thoughtful couple! The hut is sublime and the hot tub out of this world. Such a quiet area. Meeting the extended family and their furbabies was a pleasure! We will be back!

Our only regret is that we didnât book in for longer. Paul and Jan were so friendly and really gave us a warm welcome. They even offered to drop / pick us up from the local pub which I thought was lovely as thatâs really going the extra mile. Hot tub was amazing, little rabbits in the field opposite running around, such a quiet and private place. Very cosy, me and my partner will definitely be returning. Thank you!
