"What it lacks in 21st century amenities it more than makes up for in location. The surrounding wood, fields and towns are some of the most beautiful I've seen. It basically felt like we spent our Bank Holiday in a time capsule/Thomas Hardy novel, and I absolutely mean that in a complimentary way. Will is the perfect host - he explained everything that needed explaining on first meeting us and then left us to our own devices, exactly as we wanted." Henry
"This place is BLISS! Totally secluded in a beautifully natural setting with lush green vegetation and an ancient pond for a view. The hut was cosy and comfortable and had a nice big bed and you can see lots of wildlife from the varander." Rachel
