Proving that great things come in small packages the hut is perfectly equipped for your stay. Stepping inside you'll find a light and airy space, with a homely feel.

And speaking of food, there's a country-style kitchen area with electric hob, a fridge, kettle, toaster and an Everhot oven which also ensures the hut is warm and toasty in the colder months.

Finally, the hut has its own bathroom with WC,…
basin, shower and a heated towel rail to keep you warm and your towels fluffy.
