Loved it! Would recommend for couples who are after a short break

Pros: I loved how refreshing it was the fresh country air and the cozy hut made for a good combo. The hot tub was amazing spent hours in there watching the sunset.

Cons: If I’m being critical the heater. But being in the bed and the blankets covered this.
