Why stay here

4.7

A small cabin for two tucked into a patch of rewilded woodland on the edge of the Black Hill, with a wood burner and a setting described as suited to stargazing.

The draw here is the contrast between a compact, cosy hideaway and its rewilded woodland setting. It offers a simple base for a quiet countryside break, with stargazing highlighted by the listing rather than a long list of built-in attractions.
