Beautiful inside and out and so peaceful that we really were able to switch off and relax, we really hope to return. It was clean, cosy and well equipped with a beautiful view as an added bonus. The directions were clear and easy to follow which made the journey over stress free. Everything was great and have already recommended it to other people.

Itâs the fourth time we have been and it never disappoints. Huts are well spread out so feels private and can spend time alone. Huts want for nothing and are warm and cosy. Hot tub is absolute selling point and reason we keep coming back.

The instructions to get to High Rigg were a little confusing and we didn't spot any signs until the actual entrance so struggled a little to locate it. The place itself was incredibly quiet and picturesque which is fantastic to enjoy the scenery. We did find the bed a tad uncomfortable and being left with 1 and a half toilet rolls and no matches for the fire/BBQ was a little frustrating but we managed by buying some. The hot tub was one of the best features, lovely to jump into this after a long day plus the fresh cottage pies and sparkling wine really made the hut feel cozy and welcoming, would definitely stay again.
