Gostou: Friendly people, and the cutest little hut, perfect for a quiet getaway for 1 or 2 people, set in a lovely garden.

Não gostou: Just a few minor things which the owners would be aware of if they packed a bag and spent a night in the hut as if they were a guest. The door is difficult to lock and has a knack that we had to ask about - it is also very stiff and would be tricky for someone with arthritis. Bathroom needs a bit of a clean but, to be fair, the cobwebs round the ceiling only show up when you are having a shower. The folding dining table isn't very practical now the wall-folding bed has been swapped for a sofa bed, as it is in the way of the table. A few toys in the garden would be fun - swingball, perhaps.

Gostou: We arrived for a short break and to our surprise had been upgraded from a Hut to the Loft (cottage). As we were there for five days and I was working for three of them, the owners had decided that it would be more comfortable for us which was very generous and thoughtful of them. The location is very nice, but as they appear to do livery there, it was surprisingly busy. It was close to Cardiff where I was working and also close to the coast and the motorway, so we had easy access to Caerphilly and other sights. Early signs were promising, there was good wi-fi and reasonable facilities (freezer compartment would help) and it was spacious.

Não gostou: The main problem we had was the tag 'Dog Friendly'. This was true to the point that you could have dogs in the accommodation, but they could not reasonably go outside even supervised. The main culprit being a dog of the owners: they had mentioned that he didn't like other dogs so be careful which I thought was the wrong way round. They know the dog, they should keep guests (including dogs) safe from their pet. In the event our dog was attacked by theirs and even when it sought refuge in our accommodation, their dog followed and the two were separated only when the owner dragged their dog off ours. Needless to say this was traumatic for the dog but also my wife who had been desperately trying to separate them. Here's the thing: don't allow your dog out with free range of the property if he is likely to attack another dog - it is the owners responsibility not the guests. For the owner to have 'mentioned it' when we arrived does not excuse it - in fact it makes it worse. We had no idea that could happen, they knew it would and still they allowed the possibility for it. My advice is don't advertise as dog friendly then let an unfriendly dog roam free on your premises: that is simply irresponsible both as a property owner and a dog owner.

Gostou: The location and the shepherd's hut The Hideaway was just what I needed to recharge my battery on a weekend when so many sad memories where very much on my mind. From arrival I noticed one significant noise or lack of to be exact, emergency vehicle sirens! I only live in a small town in Somerset but there just seems to be so many sirens going every day, the weekend gave me a much needed break from them. The weather wasn't great but I made the most of my time there.
