The location of the hut is stunning and so is the hut itself. The reality of the hut is exactly the same as the photographs. The double bed was super comfy and the light up stars above seemed very romantic. The hut was clean and cosy. The log burned hot tub was so relaxing and that is where we spent most of our time. We also loved spending time relaxing in the hammock and sat around the fire pit. Chris, the owner, helped us with every question we had and nothing was too much trouble for him. I will 100% be recommending Lillie's Hut to family/friends and my partner and I will definitely be coming back for special occasions.
