Such a warm welcome from Sue including warm reassurance as she guided us in over the phone. Bluebell is an immaculate hand crafted Shepard hut made by Sue's husband who is a master joiner. Loads of space inside with all the quality amenities you have at home. The land is secluded and includes room for a short walk with sculptural surprises to discover. Say hi to Sue's elderly horse and her funeral loving goats before getting in the luxurious private spar pool.
