Escape the busy life and indulge in calm serenity and have peace to read that book you have always wanted to, chat to loved ones and just be..... Without the distractions of phones, Internet and TV you can completely unwind, (although 4G is very good and available if you need it!).
This beautifully presented shepherds hut, Moss, is one of a pair of huts, located in the heart of Egerton, extremely accessible yet feeling like you are a million miles from civilisation.
