    Fabulous Cottage

    A little close to the road but every effort has been make to make this cottage private and there was certainly no road noise

    A lovely cottage with everything provided. The fireplace and the outdoor bath was a real bonus and made this a standout amongst the many accommodation options available. Good communications and easy access and another bonus of a delicious loaf of what looked (and tasted like) like homemade bread. Good job!

    It was a cute little place with a little kitchen, private bathroom, living room with a fireplace and bed. The bed was very large and very comfortable. The bread was a nice welcome. Loved the quietness and privacy the little hut provided. Wish we could have stayed longer to take full advantage of the hut.

    The bath is fully exposed to any people walking from town onto the road where the hut is located. This could easily be fixed with the addition of a retractable screen. A generic Netflix login needs to be provided. Having guests login with their own details causes privacy/security issues. The window directly in-front of the bed is not properly sealed. This reduces sound proofing from the road and let's a draft in.

    The inside fireplace and outdoor bath are both great features. The kitchen and bathroom are both functional and clean. The rustic look and feel of the shed is great. Netflix and wifi were very good in terms of speed. A short walk to the town centre.

    The cabin was so cosy and in a lovely location. So convenient and close to town but feels a bit secluded like being in the woods. The kitchen was great and a nice loaf of bread was included. The outdoor bath was lovely and a beautiful spot to look at the mountains and watch the sunset. We got a visit from some friendly chickens too.

    Checking in, I found an old bread in the refrigerator. And in the dustbin, there was smelling trash. Both not from us!

    Very warm welcome by the friendly Host. Small, but fine house with wonderful teraces in front and back.

    what’s not to love about the Red Hut………

    It was so cosy, the ambiance, the fire…….just wonderful, the Red Hut was amazing and just what we were looking for. Total relaxation…..and that ‘hot tub’ to gaze at the stars…….wow! The special thoughtful touches, like a lovely home baked loaf of bread waiting for us, the lights turned on, the home heated……the key in the door…now that’s special.

    It was so perfect. Small cozy and comfortable. In fact I was very upset that we had excellent weather the whole trip and could not justify spending the whole day in the hut with a fire, wine and just reading. Plus the loaf of bread was to die for

    Impression when booked was that this was in a private quiet location but actually in the township by main road and part of a complex with neighboring units only 30 meters away. Noise from other guests in multi room lodges detracted from dark sky outdoor experience.

    Very cute with logfire and outdoor bath.

    Accomodation was super easy to find and in a great location for walking everywhere. . Back off the main road tucked behind a hill kept road noise to a minimum. Snug and cosy cottage with mod cons.. The outdoor bath was a bonus. Hosts were lovely. We had a wonderful stay.
