We had a very relaxing time at Halfmoon Wood, a very quiet location, the cabin was spacious, the log burner and hot tub were a welcome addition.Clear skies for star gazing, great location, we walked to Caunton which was about 1.5 miles away, lovely village and Newark was about 15min drive away.

Cabin was ideally suited for our needs. Hot tub was lovely, and Lesley (our host) very friendly on the phone. During an unusually cold Spring, the mornings were quite chilly inside the cabin
