This is such a little gem of a place. We absolutely loved it and wished we had have stayed 2 nights.
The wee cabin/shepherd's hut is so cute and the hosts have thought of everything you might need. The location beside the river is magic. We loved listening to and watching the water. We really appreciated the little fire too as it cooled down at night. Although beware it heats up really fast in there so you don't need it on for long. The bed was comfy and the tea and coffee was lovely. It's decor is stylish and cute and well suited to the cabin.
The short stroll to your own bathroom is actually a lovely wake up in the morning. Bathroom was clean and adequate and had everything we needed.
Newport itself is a cute wee spot. Small village, we ate at the local pub and had a good enough meal...good chowder and guinness. We loved the little riverside community cafe up the road from where you can relax and have a cuppa and read some books for a small donation.
Breakfast was much appreciated the next morning. Lovely yoghurt and fresh fruits and muesli or cereals and really yummy homemade breads and croissants by John. They kindly allowed us the recipe too. I loved the nice surroundings of the room we ate breakfast in too. Beautiful view of the river.
I thought it was good value overall and Erica was a good friendly host. Really enjoyed our stay and would definitely return.
