Despite the appalling weather I experienced whilst I was there I found the hut cosy and quite sheltered from the elements. It was only myself and my little dog so we had enough room although, at 5â6â and petite, I wouldnât recommend for very tall or bigger-built people as the bed, although very comfortable, might prove a little snug. And although the 8 cushions were aesthetically pleasing, they were quite impractical as there was nowhere, other than the floor, to put them when in bed. I did struggle somewhat with somewhere to hang my wet waterproofs and soggy clothes, and having gone through several pairs of boots, trying to get things dry was a challenge. I like to read in bed, too, so found the lack of bedside lamp rather unfortunate, as one had to get out of bed to turn off the overhead lights. And I would have benefited from a shelf over the shower room basin to put my toiletries and contact lens fluids. Ended up just rearranging the kitchen shelf and using the kitchen sink instead. The water was lovely and hot in the shower, which was great after all the cold rain. I was very glad of the secure garden as Jimmy is losing his sight and wasnât able to get lost. Sadly, because the weather was so very bad, I wasnât able to sit in the secluded little garden, but on a pleasant day Iâm sure it would be wonderful. I liked the peaceful location with easy access to the main roads. And it was kind of the hosts to leave milk and biscuits. I would stay there again especially in a drier season. Thank you.

No WiFi at all (not even intermittent as suggested) or central heating despite both being advertised. Overall we had a nice stay, but paid a huge fine for cleaning on our return. Would only recommend going during summer months and without a pet.
