We enjoyed our anniversary stay in the lovely Bluebell. A very well thought out hut both in design and decor. The hot tub a great bonus although a little hot in the heatwave when we visited! Enjoyed the tranquility of the location and the friendliness of the hosts. The parking was just footsteps away. We were made to feel very welcome and really didn't want to leave. I would highly recommend.

I think this was our fourth visit to Blue Bell, and we booked our fifth while we were there. We love the shepherd's hut - it has everything that we need. The site is so peaceful and it's a pleasure to be there.
