  My new favourite spot

  Awesome spot, super chill with amazing views, and the owner is really helpful and friendly. You get unlimited access to a big, well-kept pool. Plus, there's an outdoor fireplace and bench, perfect for hanging out at night.

  Bathroom is a bit small especially if you are bigger person

  Loved my stay here - a great countryside escape

  We were really happy with our stay!!! I work in luxury hospitality and I have to say that the hosts did a fantastic job and everything was clearly though out from the guest experience point of view. - easy to communicate with Paula the host by text or email. She and her husband live nearby at the very end of the field. (The hut is located in one corner of a grassy field.) - upon arrival they gave us a complimentary breakfast basket of bacon, bread, butter and eggs. - the hut was much bigger than expected and was tastefully decorated - the bed was a large size double and very comfortable to sleep on. There was also a little hammock-style bed above, which we ended up using for luggage storage. - the kitchenette had everything you would need, including a mini oven, mini fridge and 2 stove top rings. - we had instant hot water and the shower had enough space to get washed - wasnt cramped at all. - there was a swimming pool in the field that guests could use - you can buy a bundle of wood for the firepit/BBQ for £8

  Not much to comment on here as everything was great!! I would probably point out that there is one more hut on site which is about 20 metres away. Could probably benefit from a bit of planting to screen it and make the stay a bit more private / exclusive for each hut's guests, thereby reinforcing the 'escape to the country' experience.
