Everything

–

Beautiful, tranquil, easy access to the forest and a great local pub. Comfy huts with wood-burners. Just lovely!

–

Lovely shepherd hut with everything you will need.

–

Lovely setting, beautifully done huts, well equipped, good location.

There was a picture of a hot tub on the website and yet they’ve not had one for 2 years! Bit of false advertising!!

Loved

I liked the location of the facilities, but I didn't like the information passed saying that it had a jacuzzi, when we got there we were very disappointed because it didn't have it.

We booked this getaway with Secret Escape to the Forest as our first holiday together as a young couple. I have recently just started teacher training so a break was very welcome! Upon arriving, we were greeted by Imogen who drove down to the cabin with us. We were given a welcome hamper which was lovely, including a bottle of prosecco and plenty of snacks! Imogen gave us a tour around the cabin and told us how to set the fire and set up the hot tub. The kitchen is adorable and has everything you need to cook a full meal, we cooked for two out of the three nights! The ensuite is also wonderful and super cosy, and we were very impressed with how hot the water was in the shower and the taps! There was plenty of things to do nearby, and we went to Puzzlewood on one day and Mallard Pike the next. We will definitely be staying again! Despite staying in October when the weather is cold, the small fire in the cabin is super easy to light and provides plenty of warmth! Thank you to everyone who made our stay wonderful! Ben and Lizzie.

There was no wifi but we liked this! The perfect escape from reality for a while :D

We loved the location, the hut itself, the free hamper, the hot tub, the cleanliness, the hosts, the burners.

Nothing, apart from no phone signal but that was actually nice!

Absolutely beautiful surroundings with really good access to days out if you want that.

The shepherds hut was very very clean and looked lovely and cosy! Really lovely set up.

The hot tub is great, and a good supply of fuel for it.

A lovely little touch having not only a bench for our side but small picnic chairs too. Meant we could sit round the fire every evening.

Lack of utensils or cooking supplies. I know this sounds silly but we like to cook a little breakfast every morning and enjoy, however there was a tiny induction hob with the option to heat one pan, and then only 1 pan that worked.

Also missing basic things like forks (there were knives and spoons) and the tiniest fridge known to man that once a carton of milk was in, there was no room for anything else.

Such a shame as that’s the only thing I could think would need improving.
