RECOMMENDED LOCAL PUB
“The perfect little getaway whilst being so close to home for us. The host’s could not of been more helpful and we particularly enjoyed doing the walks suggested and also walking down to the Leigh arms which is a brilliant pub with great food.
The hut was warm, cosy and incredibly clean! As was the private bathroom which was nicer than some hotels I’ve stayed in! Hot tub was fantastic and I would definitely recommend the pre-heating service, we heated it ourselves the second night and as advised it took about 2 hours to get to the right temperature. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay, every little thing was thought of down to the wood supply to little touches in the hut. Super comfy bed which made for a 10/10 relaxing stay. Already got friends and family wanting to come visit and we’ll be back soon hopefully.”
