It was fine but quite basic. Some accessories would benefit from an update. Cleanliness was an issue (dead flies and spiders on the ceiling, hair in the shower and in the sink). The bed was quite uncomfortable too.

This is a small hut but has everything you need for a good enjoyable stay provided you can keep everything tidy. There is not a lot of available space for clothes etc. there is a drawer under the bed and a couple of hangers on the door. You really need to get on with your other half as well. We loved it and enjoyed our stay so much we have booked aRead moregain for next year so for us well worth the money. Fishing was great as well. Hide

Fantastic hut with everything you need. We stayed for a week with our small dog no problem. Very private. Lovely dog walk just at the back which goes down to the river. Literally a ten min walk up to the shop and two great pubs that do good food. Sunday lunch at the naggs head was one of the best we have had. There are kennels close by but you can Read morebarely hear them inside your hut. Fishing right out the door and was well stocked. Hide

Beautiful location. Great fishing but you will need to be well prepared for the bigger Carp. The accommodation is ok but not as cleverly designed as modern caravans for example. Despite this we had a great week.
