The Oak Hut Reviews

Another fantastic stay at the Oak Hut. A very warm welcome by Jan and Paul. Everything was perfect.

What an absolutely memorial stay. Beautiful surroundings, stunning little cabin, perfect amenities. Just couldn't of wished for better. Paul and Jenny were the perfect hosts. Wonderful and friendly, helpful in every way possible. Just a delight all round. The photos and description simply don't do this the justice it deserves. We came for Hubby's birthday as a surprise for him, and even I was surprised by the picturesque beauty this little gem has to offer. Thank you both for allowing us into your little slice of paradise. We will be back again in the future.

Duncan

Oak Hut is in a lovely, peaceful location. It is comfortable, warm and well appointed. The outside decking area and hot tub are obviously the star of the show however! The hosts were superb, so welcoming and attentive. Really going above and beyond to make our stay memorable. I highly recommend a visit here.

Our second stay at this wonderful place and we will be back! The peace and quiet is priceless and the hot tub is a perfect way to relax after a day out! Jan and Paul are perfect hosts and can't do enough for you but without you ever feeling watched over, we absolutely love it here!

Really enjoyed our stay, very peaceful, extremely tranquil setting. Property owners Paul and Jan couldn't do enough for us. Hot tub was extremely clean and has spectacular view of the sunset. The Oak Hut was spotlessly clean and had everything you need for a perfect stay. If we could have taken the bed home with us, we would have, it was that comfy. This is the place to go if you want a beautiful setting to watch the sunrise and sunset. The place is amazing.

Charlotte

Beautiful well equipped shepherds hut. Little touches were perfect. In a gorgeous location that is peaceful and private. Lovely hosts.

Shannon

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!

An idyllic setting. Lovely rural views. Very peaceful and secluded yet not far to an excellent pubrestaurant. Very comfortable and extremely well furnished and cozy warm, even in the coldest night of the year so far !! Very well thought out layout with everything you could need. Everything maintained to the highest standard. The icing on the cake being Jan and Paul the most excellent and friendliest of hosts . We will be booking again very soon.

Perfect place for a lovely chilled couples weekend. Host Jan was very accommodating and the local pub that she recommended Bull and Dog was fantastic!

Paul and Jan are wonderful hosts, very polite and went out of their ways to make us feel welcome. The hut was cozy and the bed was so comfy. The location was beautiful and stunning.

The Oak Hut was situated in a lovely, calm and quiet area. We much appreciated the hot tub and Paul ensuring it was hot for us every day of our stay. We would love to return.

Bethany

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 dogfriendly property that actually cares about dogs! Overall a great experience and we would return in a heartbeat. Thank you!

Amazing place to stay have been twice now the owners were so accommodating with a heath problem following an operation that I had as well. Very friendly and amazingly clean they even cleaned and refilled the hot tub mid week during our stay which was great. Nothing seemed too much trouble.

Kept nice, clean and modern. Easy to maintain. The hosts were absolutely amazing and able to help us with the hot tub to keep it warm for us while we were out. Bests hosts weve stayed with!

Amazing stay, absolutely was perfect. The owner were so nice and made the stay even better. Would 100 recommend.

Charles

Me and my partner stayed at the oak hut back in July and it was more than we even imagined! The owners were so accommodating, the cabin itself was so clean and cosy with a bottle of wine and croissants on arrival with fresh eggs from their own chickens also. We would stay here again in a heartbeat and would recommend it to anyone for a little getaway.

Rebecca

Our second time at The Oak Hut, thank you for such a lovely stay! Highly recommend.

Elizabeth

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. 1010 would definitely stay again!

Raymond

Outstanding hosts who couldnt do enough together with incredible hospitality. Thank you very much to Paul & Jan.

Meeting the extended family and their furbabies was a pleasure! We will be back!

Claire

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, its perfect for anyone wanting to get away from a busy life and just relax. Our only regret is that we didnt 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 thats 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!

Christina

Lovely place to stay, Paul and Jan were so welcoming and generous, couldnt of asked for any more, will definitely come again !

My friend and I had the most relaxing two night stay at the oak hut. Paul and Jan are fantastic hosts and did everything they could to make our stay as fabulous as it was!! The hut is lovely, it had everything you needed and the bed is extremely comfortable. We loved the hot tub! Could not recommend this place more, we will be back!!!!
