This was our second visit to Sand Villa Grill Hut. It was even better then we remembered, my partner and I loved it so much last year that this year... read more he chose it to propose to me there. The Grill hut is such a magical, fairy tale stay, complete with all the amenities you need for a glamping holiday. Located in a beautiful part of the country. We would highly recommend hiring the pizza oven for the evening as this provided great entertainment and food at a very reasonable price. We used the bus just outside the site to get to Lancaster and had a fab time there on the second day, the bus was quick and easy to use. We canât wait to book again next year. Thank you to Jess and Lee for being such wonderful and friendly hosts.

where to start with such a good weekend away, before we had even got to the hut I asked Jessica for some help to get some flowers for my girlfriend,... read more she hooked me up with a florist and even collected the flowers and placed them in the hut with no extra fee! Jessica also left some nibbles on the bed and wine on the side which is just what we needed after the long drive.
The check in was easy and no contact with the host was needed, althought a pack with everything we needed to know was in the hut waiting for us (this contained contact info, local amenities, takeout menus and much more)
The hut itself was immaculate, with cute decor and fairy lights that set the mood for any occasion.
The hut can get cold at night but soon warms up with the electric heater and/or the fire pit (which you can also BBQ on!!)
Overall we had an amazing stay.
finally Jess noticed my gf had left her rings in the hut and has arranged for them to be posted back to us with no fee... what an amazing host đ

The most comfortable beds, lots of little bits to make it so much easier to travel light with kids, washing up liquid, tea and coffee, camping chairs. We took one... read more bag of clothes and one bag of food. Would recommend the pizza kit, was such a nice treat and kids can create their own pizzas.

This has to be the best Airbnb experience and accommodation I have ever come across. Jessica went above and beyond making our short stay something to remember, I had told... read more her that I was bringing my 9 year old son and the stunning lodge we stayed in had some wonderful touches, so Halloween themed blankets, lots of snacks amd a pumpkin to carve to name just a few. Loved it, and more importantly so did my son!

We had a lovely stay in the Hut and all the little touches were greatly appreciated.
It was a first for myself and my partner when it came to feeding... read more animals but we really enjoyed ourselves.
Unfortunately the weather wasn't on our side the night we arrived as it would have been nice to chill outside a bit more than what we got chance to... But that's the UK for you!
Overall, we had a really comfortable and enjoyable stay away for a couple of nights. The hut had everything that we needed and the stay was as advertised/expected.
Only slight negative, for me, was the road noise as it wasn't as remote as what I had imagined and I'm a light sleeper. However, my partner slept brilliantly and didn't hear a thing!
The place is really lovely and I would definitely recommend it if you are looking for a sweet little staycation for a night or so.

Absolutely amazing stay at the Grill Hut. Jess was on hand via text for anything we needed and the wood âshopâ was right outside the door. We didnât have cash... read more but Jess provided bank details so it wasnât an issue. We were wondering what we would need to take but there is everything you need to cook and the shower was better than most hotels I have stayed in. There is an under counter fridge to store plenty of food and drinks. Feeding the llamas was a blast and feed was provided on arrival. Thank you Jess, will definitely be back! đ

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 packageâbaking our own pizzas in the outdoor oven was such a fun experience. Another highlight was the animals. My fiancĂ©e 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 wasnât a problem. Overall, it was a peaceful, relaxing stayâperfect for escaping the city. Weâd love to come back!

Thank you for letting us stay with you, I was amazed when I first seen it, so cute! The place is amazing So quaint and close to lovely places.... read more
The complimentary beers and marshmallows were a lovely touch and tasted good, plus was nice knowing the beer was locally made.
Good amenities and I loved the fact the wc and shower were outside. A good shower to which I didnât expect.
The best part, even though the hut was amazing was the animals. Especially when my partner got spat at by a alpaca, Iâve seen it all now lol

This is an incredible place to stay. Absolutely magical. You won't regret staying here. The check in was simple and easy, amazing communication from the host, Jessica. Spent two... read more evenings here, and it's two nights we won't ever forget. The alpacas and other farm animals, that can be hand fed, really add a special touch to this place. Seriously, if you're thinking about staying here, just do it.
