"Extraordinary and beautiful"

I have been to quite a few Airbnbs for the last ten years, and without a doubt, Helen’s hut was the most extraordinary and beautiful of all. The hut is within her organic farm, incredibly peaceful, and has lovely woods to walk around. It is small, but it is incredible how well-equipped the space is and all the little details and surprises Helen has put in it.

We stayed for a weekend in July, and we enjoyed the sun deck and the fire pit outside, but it’s also a place I’d love to stay for a few days in the autumn or winter as it felt very cosy and well-insulated. Many thanks Helen for your extreme hospitality and local recommendations, we had a wonderful time.

Guest access

The hut has a double bed, table and chairs and a soft chair. There is a wood burner for heating and the kitchen area with sink and gas hob, is in the same space.

There is a separate small shower room and toilet. There is a verandah for outside seating and a BBQ area for cooking breakfast.

Other things to note

We are a working organic farm and although field operations might occur during your stay, rest assured there are no chemicals used on the farm and farm machinery will not be driving past your door!
