Although it’s small it has absolutely everything you need (apart from maybe a table next to the hot tub for towels and somewhere to rest your wine glass!) It was lovely and toasty, and the shower was also surprisingly good! I’ll definitely be back :-) This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 17 Oct 2023 #### Quirky hidden gem Lovely accommodation with everything needed for a short stay. Clean and cosy with some nice little touch’s ie bottle of fizz, basket of jacuzzi, throw, marshmallows etc. Jacuzzi in private garden, nestled near a stream, saw an owl and squirrel on our visit. My husband had a lovely 60th weekend. Thank you. We will visit again for sure. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 3 Jul 2023 #### Very quiet beautiful spot with great private garden and hot tub The Snug was small but comfortable with everything you need for a short stay. The hot tub in the private tub was so lovely. The hosts were very helpful and friendly. The only issue was not all the windows had shutters or blinds so we were woken by the light in the early morning. We improvised with some towels . Providing eye masks might help.
