Reviews

Dreamy log cabin stay with very welcoming hosts! Lovely remote location with chickens for company and had an amazing evening drinking homemade Crackpot Cottage sloe gin whilst playing dominos :)

Ema and Karen are just fantastic! We had a two night stay here and it was perfect. They were both so welcoming and friendly from the moment we arrived to when we had to leave. The cabin is secluded, clean and had everything we needed. Evenings were spent at the fire pit watching the sheep and listening to the chickens chattering to themselves. The homemade pizza and cheese were also very tasty!

Would recommend this place to anyone, very relaxed and welcoming atmosphere by Emanuela and Karen. The tranquillity of the place is great and the food by Emanuela was fantastic. Keep doing what your doing!

Emanuela and Karen were perfect hosts. We got a warm welcome and a little tour of the cabin and surrounding area. The cabin has everything you could want or need for an off grid trip. Breathtaking views of the moors are the perfect backdrop. We decided to order some of Emanuela’s homemade pizza and arancini which came with a glass of red wine. It was delivered to the cabin and was absolutely delicious. We also ordered breakfast which was handmade bread with bacon and eggs from their chickens and a generous amount of coffee. Emanuela makes her own cheese, gin and other items such as ketchup. We decided to buy some chilli cheese as a memento of our trip. I can’t fault it at all, they have a perfect set up and our trip was so fun and relaxing. Thank you both for being so warm and just the loveliest couple.

Huge thanks for a wonderful stay in the log cabin. We loved the whole experience- the delicious Italian food available, fire pit, beautiful views, and fabulous quirky details. Lovely attentive hosts. Would definitely recommend 👌

An amazing, unforgettable experience for those looking for an authentic off-grid break. Ema and Karen are perfect hosts - genial, helpful and knowledgeable of the area. The whole stay was simply magical!

Very clean and cosy. Very unique, had a wonderfully peaceful setting where you can unwind and taking in the view. Hospitality was outstanding, extremely friendly and accommodating hosts! The food was sensational, could not get enough of the cheese!!

Beautiful place to stay. Food fantastic and the best hospitality such friendly hosts. Highly recommended!

It was an amazing stay at Emanuela’s, thank you for having us! The cabin was so cozy with the fire on, although it did get chilly! We loved gazing under the stars, and the food was absolutely incredible! We freshened up in the morning with the full package camping experience of a cold shower and warm coffee, very much recommend!

Fantastic stay with Emanuela at such short notice. Lovely chat on arrival. Accommodation is just what you’d expect from ‘off grid’ had all the necessary catered for. An experience you should try. Very nice homemade wine and pizza with a fire at night watching the stars!
