Bugley Pools Hideaway

If you want complete blissful isolation then this really is the ticket.

And yet it's very close to all the amenities you could need. The pod is really well designed and very comfortable indeed. A bit hot with all this summer heat but there's a really lovely breeze in the evenings. Even saw a kingfisher on one evening. Useful to note - there's a mini freezer in the fridge. The fridge is fantastic as is the hob. The shower is amazing and there's no shortage of hot water. It really is a 5 star standard! And yet only one toilet roll - more would be nice for future guests. There is a coffee machine but no info about it, that might also be handy. Really lovely hosts and honestly i wish i could have that stay all over again.

The property looked amazing and is exactly what you’d want if you’re after peace and a countryside feel.

The location is also great, with plenty of amenities nearby, including large supermarkets and popular tourist attractions.

This is a lovely little wood cabin in a lovely spot, perfect for a single guest, a couple or a couple with a child.

You're on farmland, but the hut's positioned so you're not overlooked. View's lovely, including a fishing pond, and fields of very quiet, chilled sheep all round. There's a small road not too far, but it's never noisy as traffic is pretty infrequent and doens't go fast. There's also a railway line to the rear, but again, it really doesn't spoil the sense of tranquillity. At night there's very little light pollution at all; proper country darkness surrounds you. The cabin itself is very prettily and elegantly designed and a delight to spend time in, plus there's a lovely sheltered outside area as well. I was there during a cold snap and apart from first thing in the morning where the downstairs area needs a little bit of heating up, the heater supplied soon makes the place feel wonderfully snug and cosy. All amenities were excellent. The only thing that wasn't quite clear from the listing was that the oven is a microwave, not a conventional one. But the gas stove-top works very well. I imagine it must be even lovelier in the Spring or Summer, but even in late November it was just right. Loads of nice walks around the area if that's your thing too. And plenty of shops within 10 mins drive of your front door. I really had a great time. It's a true gem and I hope to come back one day, but fear it might become very popular rather fast!
