    “Jan, Paul and Aaron are wonderful hosts.”

    They were so accommodating and friendly! The property somehow feels bigger than in the pictures. It’s beautifully kept with nice touches including underfloor heating, a small tv on the wall beside the bed, and a range of dog bowls - perfect for a solo getaway with my golden retriever. Cooking options are a bit limited with just two small rings on the electric hob and similarly small pans, but aside from this I can’t fault the place. It was so quiet and peaceful and my dog loved ...

    They were so accommodating and friendly! The property somehow feels bigger than in the pictures. It’s beautifully kept with nice touches including underfloor heating, a small tv on the wall beside the bed, and a range of dog bowls - perfect for a solo getaway with my golden retriever. Cooking options are a bit limited with just two small rings on the electric hob and similarly small pans, but aside from this I can’t fault the place. It was so quiet and peaceful and my dog loved being able to roam freely in the enclosed garden exploring and basking in the sun. She loved jumping off the deck into the fishing pond too! Hawkstone Follies, a 10 minute drive, is a lovely way to spend an afternoon for adults and kids alike, exploring the countryside with plenty to see along the route including caves, woodlands and fantastic views! I had planned to do lots whilst visiting but I mostly ended up unwinding at the hut because it was so calm and peaceful. The sunset through the bedroom window is perfect. A must-stay if you need some R&R!
