Overall assessment
Louis Gough
A lovely hut in a beautiful location, though the hut itself was rather unclean and disorganised, unfortunately. The host welcomed this feedback, however, and has assured me that improvements to cleanliness will be made in the future.
Pip Sampson
Our stay was very pleasant. Basic but comfortable and cosy. All that we needed for the long weekend
Viola
Great stay overall! The owners were incredibly helpful and gave us tips on local attractions. We especially enjoyed the nearby pub on our way to Exmoor! We will definitely return.

A charming holiday home in a beautiful setting. The shared kitchen was well equipped, and we appreciated the free WiFi. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet getaway.
