"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here."
We were unlucky that we chose a weekend with a very bad storm meaning it was difficult to leave the hut. However, as its so accommodating it didn't matter much. They have thought of everything to ensure you are comfortable (even if you get trapped in!). The owner Paul couldn't do enough for us and was very attentive. We will definitely be back in the Summer!
Hello Shannon, We truly appreciate your kind words! Despite the challenges posed by storm Darragh this past weekend, we're thrilled to hear that you still enjoyed your time in the Oak Hut. Your thoughtfulness means a lot to us, and we eagerly anticipate welcoming you back next year! Kind Regards Paul & Jan Shaw Property Owner

"Our stay at the Oak Hut was perfect."
The hosts Jan and Paul are super welcoming and very helpful. We loved the beautiful, peaceful surroundings and the sheeps, horses and dogs in the surrounding paddocks were so fun to watch. The hut is cosy, clean and has everything you need. It's also easily accessible and close to nearby towns and attractions. A highlight for us was watching the sunset from the hot tub. We took our small dog and the property is completely secure and fenced in so we could let him off leash which was great. The hut also provided treats and pet bowls which is a thoughtful touch. It's nice to stay in a dog-friendly property that actually cares about dogs! Overall a great experience and we would return in a heartbeat. Thank you!

"What can we say other then absolutely spot on!"
The cabin itself was cosy with everything you needed with a beautiful setting. The garden outside was lovely and spacious with more then enough room for our dog to roam around. The owners and the people who work there couldn't do enough for us, extremely kind and very thoughtful; making sure our hot tub was hot through the day for the evening. The fishing pond was stocked with plenty of fish including some lovely carp that was alot of fun to catch. 10/10 would definitely stay again!

"Simply wow!"
Words can't begin to describe how amazing our stay was! We chose this beautiful location to share our first anniversary together and it was perfect from our arrival to our departure! Jan and Paul went above and beyond to make our stay what it was, a beautiful thoughtful couple! The hut is sublime and the hot tub out of this world. Such a quiet area. Meeting the extended family and their furbabies was a pleasure! We will be back!

"Jan and Paul were amazing, couldn’t do enough for us, the accommodation was ..."
Jan and Paul were amazing, couldn’t do enough for us, the accommodation was lovely and clean and the hot tub was amazing, would 100% recommend
-
"The Oak Hut was amazing, the hut itself was clean, warm and comfortable with everything you need for a simple stay."
The walk we took the dog on in the area was lovely and peaceful despite a lot of it being flooded. The hot tub was fantastic and relaxing. The way the garden has been secured so dogs can't get out was the best part for us, out dog can be reactive at times so we have to be cautious where we walk her so knowing she could just run around in our own private area was the best part for us. We will definitely be back, thank you for a wonderful relaxing stay.
-
"This place is such a hidden gem, it’s perfect for anyone wanting to get away from a busy life and just relax."
Our only regret is that we didn’t book in for longer. Paul and Jan were so friendly and really gave us a warm welcome. They even offered to drop / pick us up from the local pub which I thought was lovely as that’s really going the extra mile. Hot tub was amazing, little rabbits in the field opposite running around, such a quiet and private place. Very cosy, me and my partner will definitely be returning. Thank you!

"Lovely cosy hut with lots of land for our dog to roam around."
Really comfortable bed and extremely clean. There was a new hot tub with an additional £15 cost for logs to heat which we thoroughly enjoyed using. One of our favourite holidays, would highly recommend.
Hello Bobbie, thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear the accuracy of the listing and facilities management wasn’t quite right for you. As you know the wood fired Hot tub was a late addition and whilst we waited to have the listing updated we charged for the firewood. With regards to glassware breakage we have removed glassware from the hut going forward. Despite the isolated areas above we were pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay in The Oak Hut. We very much look forward to hosting you again soon. Kind regards Paul & Jan Property Owner

"This short trip was faultless throughout, we are only sad that we had to leave but we are already looking ahead to when we can book next, only for longer next time!"
We couldn’t find anything to moan about even if we tried, the hut is stylish and very comfortable, the land is beautiful and peaceful, the fishing was brilliant and the fish were immaculate! and the owners are lovely people! From the very friendly hello to the goodbye we felt very welcome and looked after. The whole family felt like good friends. Our 3 little dogs had the time of their lives too running around the fields and watching the horses and sheep! The owners have been so thoughtful when creating this little gem, the kitchen had everything we could have needed to use, it was stocked with everything from washing up liquid to poo bags. We cant wait to go back and we have lovely memory's of our first trip to the oak hut! Thankyou!!

"Had a fantastic stay here at the Oak Hut."
Myself, partner, a dog stayed for three nights; beautiful property with a lovely welcoming family. Paul was great and nothing was too much trouble. Our little dog had the best time - massive fenced lawn for her to run around and play. We loved the horses, sheep, and four Labradors that greeted us throughout the day. Cabin was very modern, bed extremely comfortable, and had all the mod-cons. Property also had a lake which you could sit by during the sunset. Shops about a ten minute drive, with a lovely pub just down the road. If you want a break from the madness of life, book here. Literally no complaints. We’ve never felt so peaceful - we’ll definitely be back!
