    We loved The Red Hut! It was a perfect wee getaway. We particularly loved the fireplace and the style of the hut. It was super warm and comfortable with the heatpump too. We would be more than happy to stay here again. Thank you for having us!

    The size of the hut was great, good location, bed was comfy (but just had a loose bedhead that needed tightening). The bathroom was cosy, but overall this accommodation had everything we needed and we were super happy with our stay here!

    We were upgraded to the Jack Simpson unit which was a pleasure to stay in and we will request that unit next time. Warm and cosy and very well equiped. Shame about the Red Hut TV not working. We were most appreciative of the upgrade. Thank you.
