Frequently Asked Questions

How many people can stay in a hut?

Each hut has room for four adults to sleep comfortably (although two will be on the top bunk). If you have more than four, we have pods and a mini hut available as an add-on. They neighbour the huts, and act as an extra bedroom. The pods have two single beds, and the mini-hut has a double.
