The buddy is a cosy, small hut. Set in countryside by cows, sheep. We saw kestrel, red kite and many birds. It is clean, well equipped but the fridge is small. There is a radio, and projector/ screen. There is no WiFi, I didnt have phone signal for 2 days whilst there. They left us milk, tea making facilities and cookies and items for yr dog. We haRead mored a lovely time, used wood for hot tub. Friendly staff who were attentive. Hide

We had such a wonderfully relaxing time staying at Buddy! The hosts were fantastic and always on hand should you need them. The lodge is completely private and spotlessly clean. Close enough to the local town should you need supplies and some lovely walks near by. We cant wait to visit again in the near future!

This was a great little getaway, the location was lovely and the owners were thoughtful and in touch. Can't fault it at all. A nearby pub that does huge portions is really handy, but the scenery and connection to nature really makes this place. The hut itself was well presented and secluded, very well furnished and beautiful.

We had a wonderful time at Buddy's cabin, we were even lucky enough to meet Buddy himself. The cabin has everything you could want, and has a lot more space than your standard shephard's hut.
