The space
Hi, We are looking forward to welcoming you to our Happy Hut
Check in is from 2:00pm on the day of arrival and Check out is Midday 12 noon
This accommodation is a 100% off-grid camping experience. This means you do not have the same creature comforts as at home. The reason we can charge such a low price for your stay is that we don’t have cleaners in between guests arriving. This means it is very important you leave the accommodation clean and ready for the next guests to arrive! We ask that before you leave you refill the water containers ready for the next guests to use! And make sure the camping chairs are back inside incase of rain. If it’s left messy you will not be able to return in the future and we will give a bad review on Airbnb.
You will be sharing the woods with many types of animals. If you listen at night you will likely hear, owls, foxes, deer, mice, and squirrels. Some of these animals especially the deer and foxes can make sounds at night that sound like screeching humans! So if you hear a strange screeching noise it’s only foxes mating!
You can also sometimes hear the Lulworth ranges doing exercises so if you can hear a distant war zone don’t worry
To deter small creatures from coming too close PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE FOOD OUT AT NIGHT TIME! Animals are always looking for food and it will be eaten before morning if left out.
