A really lovely cabin, ideal for a weekend away. It was clean, well equipped and beautifully furnished. The hot tub was great and very secluded. The bathroom was clean and the shower was hot with good pressure. We had a lovely couple of nights here and I would really recommend it.

We have just returned from a 3 night stay at The Little Man and it was perfect! We have been to a few staycations with our dog and we both agreed this was our favourite. It had everything: large hot tub; comfy bed; powerful shower; plenty of space to cook and relax; easy access; ideal location and lovely little touches including the welcome goodiesRead more! We were initially worried we were next to two other pods and in front of others but it was so secluded and private. Would definitely recommend! Hide
