    “This is the second time we have stayed at the Fisherman’s hut.”

    We love the position of the place and that makes up for any small discrepancies in decor or comfort. The hut has everything we needed for our stay. It is December and the bedroom is very cold until the heater warms it up. We read that we could put the heater on low during the night but as we’re conscious of cost and effect on the planet we only warmed the room up before going to bed. We liked that the garden had been improved since our last stay and we loved the fairy lights! Simple pleasures ...
