A beautiful hut with a fabulous view and a very relaxing feel to it. We felt really welcomed and touches such as flowers and cake were much appreciated. The creative way the hut and the bathroom were built make for a unique and cosy feel. Everything feels wonderfully self-contained and well thought out, definitely a little gem so close to the North Devon coast.
