They have spent a lot of time and effort making the Hut functional and aesthetically pleasing to the eye. The setting is lovely, nice and quiet. Some lovely places to visit on the doorstep and you arenât driving at 2 mph to get there like you would if you stopped in more touristy spots around the lakes. You are literally only a few miles of the dual carriageway which was great after the drive up there. It was great to have the log burning hot tub made ready for your return from a days walking. Seriously the hosts couldnât do enough, provided local places to eat, walks and were so pleasant! I will be looking to return.
