The Hygge Hutt

It may be tricky to pronounce, but the Danish term hygge (hooga) was added to the Oxford dictionary in 2017 and is widely used to describe a feeling. One of cosy comfort, quiet time and connecting with close friends and loved ones. Hygge is about enjoying the small joys in life, unwinding and taking things slowly. We've tried to bring that feeling to our new Methven Airbnb... a place to come home to when you're visiting this beautiful region.
