We stayed in the Hive in June 2025 and loved it so much we returned again in March 2026. We are already looking to book again, it really is one of our new favorite places. So calm and relaxing and a great area to just switch off. Extra points for the hot tub as well.

The Hive was fantastic and definitely value for money. I'd go back in an instant. It had fantastic facilities and the hot tub was absolute luxury. The host was really helpful and arranged a bespoke birthday balloon gift for our arrival. I have recommended it to everyone who asked how my weekend was. 10/10!
