    2 adults plus a lively dog for a weekend stay. We loved it the first time and was even better this time - the huts both having had a makeover and they look amazing. Very clean, comfortable and we were sad to leave. Only minor suggestions for improvement and that would be door mats in both huts just in case of rain/mud, a couple more hooks for coats/towels, and also a small shelf would be handy above the double bed. We will be back again next year.

    Für 2 Erwachsene und zwei Kinder perfekt. Ideal gelegen für Ausflüge in die Natur oder zu Sehenswürdigkeiten. Im Ort selber alles vorhanden was man braucht (Tankstelle, Konsum, Pub, Bahnhof …). Wir haben uns alle sehr wohl gefühlt. Sogar der Hund war entspannt. Einziges kleines Manko wäre eine kleine Überdachte Fläche für schlechteres Wetter zum Beispiel eine Waldschenke.

    First dog holiday as a family and it ticked all the boxes. Completely lucked out on the weather. Tranquil location, peace and amazing surround meant for happy afternoons playing in the meadow and paddling in the stream ❤️ Luxury camping and comfortable beds, property could do with a few more hooks to hang clothes and a washing up bowl. Really was a wonderful escape and so private, be spoilt if more huts on site.
