The cabin is full of handmade character and steeped in peaceful atmosphere, surrounded by trees and set right in the private ancient woodlands.

The cabin is amazing if you want to get away from the world for a bit. Such peace and tranquility. No noise, no light pollution, just beautiful wood walks, and lovely people if you venture out and about. Very narrow lanes, not for the faint-hearted and steep hills, but gorgeous views. Hosts were lovely, helpful, and friendly. Highly recommended.
