Lovely quiet idyll in beautiful countryside; although close to amenities of the county town still felt private enough to feel lost in the Country. Thanks to our hosts and to Dandy the Alpaca who greeted us every morning

We had a very calm and relaxing stay at the Alpaca hut. Our hosts were extremely helpful and friendly. There was a BBQ which we used and the hut itself was very comfortable and cosy. It was great sitting out on the decking and watching the Alpacas in the field!
