We really enjoyed staying here, It's a really beautiful setting! The hut is cozy and has everything you need. The shower and toilet felt like a real luxury for such a small space, and we enjoyed being out of the way of the main farm.

I already miss our time here. The hut is comfortable, warm and brilliantly equipped. The views are incredible and we enjoyed having our morning coffee in the summer house. The nearby pub is only a 5 min walk away and we brought a torch to help navigate the dark which was easy to do. It was magical and we cannot wait to return. Thank you!

Lovely hut, amazing location with great views and a smashing pub within 5 minutes walk. Great base for walking, we did the Wincle-Gradback walk via hanging stone which was great (about 8 miles). Will definitely be returning!
