We had a lovely stay at the hut. It was a beautiful location surrounded by the picture perfect countryside. Both Natalie and Jamie were super friendly and helpful hosts. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful location in the valley. Small farm holding with pigs, goats & lambs. Super friendly & helpful hosts. Very quiet but two pubs only 5 mins walk away. Nearest shop 8 miles. Had everything we needed for a long weekend away and we were so very lucky with the weather

A lovely place to stay if you are into countryside walks and trips to the beach (nearest one was a 15min drive). The hut was spotlessly clean and felt very cosy. The hot tub was great to relax in after a day of exploring. Space is enough for a young couple.
