The hut had everything needed for a short break and was amazingly well stocked! Having an evening drink out by the pond on a sunny day was exactly what was needed from our holiday. The only thing to note is that any pub is at least a 30 minute walk away which makes going out for dinner slightly difficult if both parties want to drink. Nevertheless would heartily recommend the St Ives Brewery close by for an evening tipple!
