The Squirrels is in a great location especially if you have a dog. The grounds are absolutely beautiful.The place is clean and all very neat. But very limited on space. It’s is what it is a Shepards hut!!! A must if you are in the area is the Tin Roof Cafe entrance is in the garden centre on the main road to Danbury. Also The Cricketers in Danbury their food is amazing especially Sunday roast it’s a must. ##### David Barbara Evans ### 10/10 Excellent #### yvonne b. 24 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Idilic space for peace, quiet and wildlife The shower is very very tiny ##### yvonne b.
