Other things to note Sadly the Beech Hut is not suitable for those with limited mobility due to the spiral staircase up to the bedroom. The woodburner is the main source of heating, you'll be surprised how quickly it heats up. There is also a heated towel rail in the bathroom. We provide a starter of logs (the fire place will be lay for your arrival). After this we have logs you can purchase, we do not make money on these logs. We use Kiln dried Hardwood from a local company. We also have kindling and firelighters available to purchase. Wood is priced at £30 cash per wheelbarrow and includes around 30 logs and a bag of kindling. For the hot tub, logs will need to be purchased. The hot tub takes around 1-2 bags (10-20 logs) of hard wood logs, depending on the time of year. If you use the hot tub again much of the heat will be retained and so will need fewer logs.
