Had a great time away and will be going back next year!

And we had such a lovely break. Itâs in the middle of the fields, with no traffic noise, and plenty of nature. We didnât even feel like going anywhere the first day, wanted just enjoy the place. We absolutely loved the hot tub. And in fact we liked the natural way of heating it with the solid fuel. The first day took a little longer to heat it (around 40 minutes, which is not too bad) but next day it was still warm and we did a lot quicker. The only one suggesting is to have a cover over the tub, in case it rains. We had a golf umbrella and it covered us completely just after we went in and it started to rain. There are plenty of places around there is a short distance. Belvoir castle is only 10 minutes drive. Alpacas farm is 25 minutes. And plenty other things. The owner was very friendly and helpful. We would definitely go back again.
