It has a double fold down bed fully made up with crisp cotton sheets, duvet and fluffy pillows. The kitchenette has two hotplates, fridge, sink and microwave along with all the glassware and crockery you will need. Built in en-suite shower room with fluffy towels provided.

Also, just a short drive, is the labyrinth of forestry walks to include Pyscodlin Lake which is a beautiful site and on the other side the lovely picnic areas.

Shed in a field

Very disappointed as not as expected. Expensive for just a box. Log burner tiny and not on just a small oil radiator. Did not stay at this hut, left and booked somewhere else to stay the night.
