SAND VILLA STAYS

  It is hard to find fault with our stay at the grill hut. Everything from the private alpaca farm to the cosy cottage with the indoor barbecue just blew us... read more away. Put all that together with amazing hosts who would go the extra mile to make their guests happy (especially Hattie, who welcomed us and showed us around) makes this place the best we’ve ever stayed at. We will definitely book again and cannot recommend enough!

  We stayed here for one night over the weekend, and it was an amazing experience. The location was easy to find, thanks to the detailed guide with directions and local... read more recommendations. When we arrived, the cabin was already warm, which was a great touch given the cold weather.

The cabin itself was even better than the pictures! The indoor grill made it extra cozy, and we loved the pizza package—baking our own pizzas in the outdoor oven was such a fun experience. Another highlight was the animals. My fiancée loves alpacas, so we were happy to see goats, sheep, and chickens too. Jessica, the owner, even gave us food to feed them, which made it even more special.

Check-out was smooth, and even though we left a little later, it wasn’t a problem. Overall, it was a peaceful, relaxing stay—perfect for escaping the city. We’d love to come back!

  Had a great stay, went to Lancaster for a day trip which is only 15 mins drive away. Will 100% be recommending to friends and family 👍🏽

  A wonderful experience. What a magical place.

  A truly lovely place for a quiet getaway. Everything about the hut is lovely and the Alpacas are adorable! The hut was clean, and so cozy. We... read more loved that the ceiling was painted as the night sky, and the fairy lights twinkling with the fire in the evening. Great shower and bathroom/kitchen facilities with hot running water and flushing toilet. We had an amazing weekend.

The location is beautiful and the countryside view is stunning. Definitely make time to visit the local Ice Cream Parlour, which has a cafe as well as takeaway. If you are looking for shopping, maybe give Blackpool a go, we drove to Lancaster and the drive was lovely but the city centre was disappointing. We also tried to get a taxi to the pub recommended by Jessica, but we’re too far out for them to pick us up, so make sure you have a designated driver.

  Perfect stay, with everything you need for a lovely holiday.

  Amazing stay! Could not have asked for more alpacas and animals are so cute and the food to feed them was a great touch!
Thank you will be back 🙂

  Lovely Easter break in the Grill Hut, lots of fun, with everything you'd need. Helpful and friendly host.

  We have just gotten back from a relaxing night away. As busy parents we were looking for somewhere scenic, relaxing and with plenty to do. We felt welcomed from the... read more start, left some lovely extras and the hut was spotless and cosy. We had an explore, fed the goats and checked out the pub pod (a lovely extra touch). We then made our pizzas, ate them outside and then wondered back to the pub pod to sit outside, play some games & watch the sun set. We then went back to the hut, lit the fire and relaxed. We slept well and felt refreshed the next day. We enjoyed our breakfast outside & had a slow morning before getting ready to leave.

We had a wonderful time away and it was just what we needed. Thank you so much ☺️ we are hoping to return with the kids in the near future.

A top tip we would give is to bring some sliders for the shower so you don’t have to walk on the chippings.

  Perfect stay. Had lovely time. Grill Hut was lovely and cosy and comes highly recommended. Jess and Lee perfect hosts.
Thank you to you both.

  Had a lovely stay, the grill hut itself is stunning and idyllic. The little touches left by the host made it special and we fell in love with all the... read more lovely animals on site. The only downside for us was it being next to a road (which we didn't realise when booking). Although this isnt a busy main road, it becomes busier around rush hour first thing in the morning and again later on, and so we were woken up by traffic. As we live on a main road we wanted something a bit quieter in the mornings. But thank you for everything! Would recommend.

  We had an absolutely amazing time staying in the Grill Hut! It's super clean, cosy and well equipped. Jess left us a bunch of treats that made it feel extra... read more special.
