    Basic facilities but an enchanting location & perfect stop off point along the South Downs Way.

    Felt it was a little overpriced. Had to vacate a lot of spiders & be comfortable being v close to nature. I don't mind this at all but it may bother some folk. Few things were missing like milk for tea, tea towels & bin but still a v pleasant & charming experience.

    Stunning location & so peaceful. Was quite happy to sit on the bank of the river & listen to the water & birds and breeze, no extra entertainment required! :)

    I didn’t mind at all but some people may not like going outside to the separate bathroom.

    Quite unique. I loved the location. It was very private and quiet. I had everything I needed for a comfortable stay.

    The cabin lies next to the riverbank. There are 2 little bridges, the larger one is flat and wooden so care in the dark and the wet. It is very quiet and rustic and is a good glamping option for those on the South Downs Way as a stopover. The nearest pub does good pizza and is 18 minutes walk away. There is a heater in the winter and an induction hob which is reasonably easy to operate. The toilet and shower are in a separate and adjacent hut but be aware that the toilet is not a flushing variety if you are sensitive about such things.

    Didn't like is too strong a phrase, maybe there could be a better way of storing the sugar/coffee as it had clumped together, but this is a very minor point.

    The location is great, so peaceful and to be able to open the door straight on to the river was amazing. There's some clever touches that make the accommodation work really well, like the hanging storage. Above everything else though, it's the owners that make this place the joy it is, Not just friendly, but genuinely helpful, they really made our stay feel special.

    The facilities may not look like they would in a hotel; however, they are kept up to and beyond a good standard.

    Stayed here while walking the South Downs Way. Although, it is a little off the path it is definitely worth it. With a lovely host, who went the extra mile to drop us into the village for dinner, and a morning spent next to the gently running river made us want to stay another night!

    All good :)

    Great place to stop if you're walking the South Downs Way. It's a beautiful spot and the owner was lovely. Photos of the place are accurate. Warm beds, all the right kitchen equipment, and nice touches like hot water bottles and fresh milk in the fridge. It also feels very private. May was a beautiful time to be there with trout jumping out of the river and goslings wandering around.

    We arrived on a rainy day, and so mud was abundant.

    Chris was very friendly and helpful. We liked the wild nature of it all.

    The location is outstanding and tranquil. A real treat to be on the waters edge in a very cosy cabin. The hosts are truly welcoming and had a great eye for attention to details to make this a really enjoyable "experience". Superb Bacon sarnie in the morning.

    Not necessarily a negative, but perhaps a rejig of the single beds or swap for a double may attract more couples away on a break. Absolutely ideal for people wanting to hideaway and be productive for a weekend though.

    An excellent secluded place to stay with tons to do (surprising for the location you are in) surrounded by tranquil streams forking from the Meon river, right outside the cabin door. Plenty of wildlife (Herons, Deer, Ducks, maybe even some trout in the spring). Best is youre on private land. Cabin is incredibly cosy and well equipped. Host was could not have been more welcoming and kind. Lovely walks, churches, villages and pubs nearby.

    Overpriced

    Small changes would make a big difference: nicer towels, a chair or two to put clothes on, a chair in the shower, a few household products such as washing up liquid and a dustpan and brush, a door mat. The shower cabinet was pokey and awkward and the shower gel cheap and nasty. There is a 2 or 3 meter walk to the shower hut, not nice in the rain. The accommodation was was about as pricey as a hotel and not a tenth as comfortable.

    Chris was friendly and helpful, locking up our bikes for us. It was lovely to wake up next to the river. The small electric hob was quite fast.

    Rather damp - we were cycling and very grateful that we didn't have to dry out and we kit. Toilet was described as composted, but was actually a toilet seat with a plastic bag underneath.

    Charming location on the riverbank. Our host was very kind and helpful.
