Perfect for peace and quiet

Great location and hut as described. Cozy and great little enclosed garden which is safe for a dog, mine loved it. Stayed for four nights and loved it. Great hut, really well thought out. Looks out on open countryside with sheep and lambs in fields next door, only sounds were birds singing and sheep bleating. Only downside was postcode doesn’t take you to property, but asked someone and is only a few minutes away. Only one wine glass available, luckily only me staying and I always take a flute for Prosecco! but if two of you a bit difficult. No other glasses at all, but certainly didnt spoil anything, but would be nice to have some more available. Small oven that was available was a lot better than expected, no problems with it at all and did the job more than adequately. Shower great and bed really comfortable. Overall absolutely loved it and delivered on the peace and quiet front without fail. Loved the isolation, but as in my own was still great to know owners cottage was within sight. Would recommend definitely
