Esk Pike Reviews

Desiree
What a lovely cabin, refurbished to a great standard, beds very comfortable. Kitchen is well equipped, iron included, but there is no hairdryer. The hottub is great after a day walking to rest those legs. Lovely to sit out in the sun as well to have a coffee on the decking, or on the swing. It was a lovely feel looking out to the trees and watching the birds.. We fed the birds and what a list came to feed, highlight being a great spotted woodpecker. Apart from the birds there was no noise. The TV was digital so we often just watched a film on the evenings. Overall a lovely stay and would
