Brilliant clean facilities with everything you need. The autumnal weather and rain didnât matter as the hot tub was undercover and the radiator keeps the hut really warm. There was a log fire too but we didnât need it. Bed was really comfy too. The perfect get away for that rural feel with a gorgeous view of the pond. If you do venture out thereâs a great pub down the road with amazing food too. The shepherds pie and bottle of fizz in the fridge was an added bonus. Be prepared that there is no internet or service there so you really get that âoff gridâ feel. We will definitely be back!

The hut is beautifully decorated and everything was spotless. The fire was really easy to light (only comment is make sure you bring a lighter with you to start the fire!) So peaceful with some lovely views of the pond.
