Location is beautiful and the bed is very comfy. The weather was horrific with strong winds and down pour which Unfortunately did not make our experience as we had hoped.

Absolutely amazing time spent in this shepherd's hut in a field all on its own. You can be totally cut off from the world and enjoy being back to nature. Take a few books and enjoy reading by the fire or whilst you're getting the hot tub going. The owner Gabby was so helpful and lovely. Gabby made sure our stay was memorable.

A wonderful, secluded stay at the lovely Hideaway. Even in poor weather the hut was warm and cosy with an exceptionally comfy bed. The hot tub was unforgettable and a real pleasure at the end of the day. Lots of lovely thoughtful touches that made our stay thoroughly relaxing and enjoyable.

What an absolute treat this place turned out to be. Booked for our honeymoon to get away from everything - and it truly is. No overlooking properties or roads, secluded in all the right ways.

This weekend was just perfect, even in the snow, wind, rain and fog! It was EXACTLY what I was looking for when hunting for a hideaway break - so much so the weather didn't even come close to spoiling it. Gabbie couldn't have been more accommodating and the facilities are wonderful and perfectly suited to the feel of the huts. Very well constructedRead more and super cosy! The Bridge Inn was a great pub. I'm definitely looking to book a summer escape this year too. Absolutely lovely. Hide
