Fantastic place to stay in beautiful countryside - amazing views. Everything you need, homely and comfortable - very quiet and peaceful. If you want a place to get away from it all - this is it. Jane is a lovely helpful hostess. We were only there for a short stay - but are definitely planning to come back for a longer one in the future.
Response from Owner
Thank you for the lovely review

A fascinating spot with stunning views. The drive up is part of the complete experience, and we discovered that it's a good idea to make sure you allow time to drive up while it's still light. Our hosts got the fire going hours before we arrived so that the hut was lovely and warm. A quirky environment with lots of games, books and very comfy beds. The list of walks look so good that we will definitely return (sadly we were on a short stop over, but want to allow more time to explore).
