    The peace and tranquillity, the woodpecker hut, was very quaint and perfect in every way. The kitchenette and shower block were conveniently placed not too far from the hut. Everything was clean. We would absolutely return for another stay.

We are Ideally situated for The Garden Barn wedding venue just 1.5 miles away.
