When we first arrived we weren’t exactly to sure if we went to the right place but we opened back up the directions and found that we were, we had such fun packing our stuff into the wheel barrow to push to the hut. When we got to the hut we were amazed by how beautiful it looked! It was super clean and cosy and we couldn’t wait to unpack and settle in, we opted to light the hot ourselves for the experance and not only was there a helpful booklet there were instructions on the wood burner part of the hot tub and Jane also sent a very helpful video. Once the hot tub was at the right temperature it basically stayed that way through the night and into the morning it was amazing! I saw Jane & her dog on our first morning there and she was just so nice, honestly we could not have been better host! We will definitely be making this a yearly place we come to!

We had a wonderful time in the Sheppard's hut. Jane was a lovely host who allowed us to check in earlier. The hot tub was an added bonus
