Plum hut Paignton superb

We had a great time at the Plumhut, great hosts met us and went through everything, very welcoming. Hut was as advertised, all you need plus a little bit more. Very quiet as required to have a relaxing break. Hot tub all ready to use, topped the break off. Totally recommend to everyone.

lovely little shepherd hut

one of two shepherds hut situated at the top of field/garden with a two person hot tub which was lovely in the evening watching the stars above on the clear night, the hut itself is lovely and cosy with a small woodburner (lighter, kindle and logs supplied) and everything you needed was supplied. There are sheep fenced off in the middle of the field with surrounding apple trees and a stream at the bottom and chickens to the side. Had a great stay with our two small dogs -thank you
