    “This was our second stay at Acres Meadow.”

    2 adults plus a lively dog for a weekend stay. We loved it the first time and was even better this time - the huts both having had a makeover and they look amazing. Very clean, comfortable and we were sad to leave. Only minor suggestions for improvement and that would be door mats in both huts just in case of rain/mud, a couple more hooks for coats/towels, and also a small shelf would be handy above the double bed. We will be back again next year.
