The hot tub question! 

The quick answer is no, we don't - The Black Hut has a gorgeous freestanding double ended outdoor copper bath and Cedar Pod has a freestanding double ended outdoor bath which we find is perfect for a more relaxing and environmentally friendly experience.

As we want our guests to sit back and relax, take a step away from the world, we haven't installed hot tubs (a question we often get asked), we don't want you to be disturbed by a pump operating through the night - we want you to hear the owl twit-twooing! We also respectfully ask guests to respect the neighbouring pod and keep noise levels down after 10pm, we are a quiet site and feel a hot tub would be an invitation for a noisy late night dip (we know we would be out in there at midnight!). 

​

Dogs

Pods - Unfortunately as the pods are situated on our working livestock farm we are not able to accommodate dogs in the pods, however we do welcome dogs in The Cottage (contact owner Juliet on cjjats@gmail.com for bookings).
