Me and my dogs had a very pleasant stay in 'The Hut'. It's an amazing spot. A perfect place to find your peace but if you like, lot's of nice places to visit are within reach like Newbury, Newbury racecourse, Highclere Castel, the coastline or London. Hosts Collin, Jane and their friendly dog Blue are are the best.

One of a kind!

We travel to the UK at least once a year for two weeks and have never stayed at the same accomodation more than once, sofar…..until now! We’ve chosen to stay here again, because we love the location so much. The owners are very nice and relaxed people. Very much recommended!

A magical hideaway

The Hut was perfect for us as a months break during a house move. The owner ( and his dog ! ) made us , and ours , so welcome. The accomodation , though small was so well designed it was perfect for the 3 of us...we really loved our time there , a unique venue .Thankyou Colin .

Great Place - Keep Coming Back!

The property is in a great location close to Newbury but as it's on the common amongst the woods it feels very private and secluded. The owner's property is on the site but you never noticed apart from the warm welcome. The property itself is well looked after, very comfortable and has everything you need, including a much appreciated welcome pack. We have a dog and she was also very comfortable in her surroundings. Will return again!!

Very pleasant stay

We had a lovely week here. We visit the UK quite often (at least once a year over the last 15 to 20 years), and stayed in many different accomodations. This one is in our top three, most certainly! Colin and Jane are such nice people. And Blue (the dog) was a nice companion for our dog Flora!
