Hagrids Hut - Off grid Cabin - no electricity or running water

The location, through a little wood, was quite magical. The provision of wheelbarrows to help you transport your things was great. It is far enough away from the other five cabins to be lovely and secluded. The main hut with beds has been so imaginatively designed and furnished, really quaint and cute but stylish. The little kitchen area in the second hut was very well supplied, basic, but it had all you needed. The compost toilet was perfectly adequate. I had been concerned having never used one but it was actually very pleasant and not a problem to use (even in the middle of the night). We were only there for two nights, so have to confess we didn't try the shower!! The beds were so comfy, the room more than warm enough and the fire very cosy. Absolutely loved the camp fire, although the logs to sit on, whilst really cute, were a bit uncomfortable. Camp chairs might have been a nice luxury!!

It turned out that our ability to go off grid wasn't as good as we thought. We knew that the provision of a power point to charge phones wasn't 100% reliable, but I am not sure that it functions at all! I couldn't see the solar panel anywhere, and it didn't work the whole time we were there, with very good weather. The provision of little lamps inside and outside was very good though and we were never in danger of not having light, just not able to fully use our phones ( to some people that is a good thing, but I am committed to my phone, especially for the torch, camera and navigating.)

The cabin is very private but quite isolated. It is well furnished and comfortable. It reflects the Harry Potter theme throughout, so great for fans. It is well insulated and the log burner would ensure it is warm enough, whatever the weather. The stove top cooker is fine for simple meals and hot water for drinks.

The solar panel had no charge so the wall lights weren't working. The battery powered lamps provided gave little light. Consider bringing your own. The compostable toilet.

The fact it was off grid.

Be careful before you book here. Be aware that the path is practically non existent in places. I booked one night. I'm a tour guide but have asthma I didn't even manage to get to my cabin. I phoned the number provided and explained I didn't even step foot in the accommodation as I couldn't breathe trying to get there. Nobody came out to see if I was okay.. I asked if I could get a refund and was told it wasn't up to him it was his wife.. I also requested a refund through the app they got no reply from the property..

Attention to detail, excellent little get away . Great fun for kids that enjoys being outside but cozy. Well done 👍
