This is a beautiful little cabin, it is warm and cosy and a little quirky. There are fairy lights and chalk boards and lots of thoughtful little touches that make you feel so welcome. There is a comfortable bed, a sofa with a soft blanket to go over your knees and a small but perfectly formed kitchen with everything you could need. The pretty bathrRead moreoom is spotlessly clean with a decent electric shower. The porch at the front is the perfect place to sit in the evening and watch the wildlife. Hide

Beautiful garden lodge, and streamside garden we saw every kind of bird and even a weasel! At night we saw the beautiful stars, and would have seen even more if we could have turned off the solar lights!. But a lovely place to stay. You can't walk into town and no buses, but we still had a great time.
