Lovely little hideaway. Close to town, but secluded enough to feel tucked away with a great view to sea from the deck.

Beautiful isolated shack with amazing views. Well equipped with BBQ & hot tub. Very tranquil. Definitely worth hiring a car to access

The most amazing views! We loved the tiny cottage vibe. Only suggestion would be to put a curtain on the room that opens onto the deck (it’s very bright in the mornings) and to dust the chandeliers as there were cobwebs on them.
No Taxis would come down the driveway which was frustrating lugging baggage and escaping the rain.

Disappointing really
The Hut itself is somewhat tired and although you know its old and quirky we would find being there if the weather was wet & miserable pretty ugly! Plus the advertised "air conditioning" is 3 standing fans and 2 oil heaters. It also advertises coffee maker so we took [and brought back] some Nespresso capsules but the maker was a coffee pot for the electric plug-in desktop stove.
As for the flat screen TV; its on the bedroom wall in the main building (not the outside bedroom) and needed rebooting and connecting to the WiFi before we could watch anything. Even then you needed a Netflix, etc, account to be able to watch the streaming channels, but then thats not what we went there for really...
The bed and bedding was nice and you have all the utensils and cutlery, etc, you could need in the living/kitchen area.
The outside seating area is great as it doubles as the oustide living room complete with subtle outside lights and the outside BBQ.
Bottom line is as that this property is associated with/owned by Mudbrick our expectations were high so basically the views from the Hut save it really, as they are simply delightful; but overall its not quite what its portayed to be.....sadly
We did of course eat at Mudbrick (as it was my wifes 70th birthday) and that was, as ever, delightful.

Beautifully presented cute wee cottage
A very quaint old cottage. Loved the spa bath and the deck was amazing with stunning views. As it’s an old cottage the bathroom and kitchen plus living space is not super comfortable. Beds were great, but everything very small and compact and probably best suited to a visit in summer. We loved the outdoor heater and lights and spent our evenings outside.
