Beautifully secluded gem in stunning surroundings. The Shepherds Hut is decorated and furnished beautifully yet comfortably with clean and modern facilities. The hot tub was clean and a very welcome addition to our relaxing stay. Will definitely be returning!
We absolutely loved it and couldn’t fault it at all. Exactly what we were after.

Such a cute little place so cozy and warm and the scenery from every window was beautiful. The owner isn't to far so I felt comfortable know they would be contactable if anything were to happen. They was a great little welcome pack when we got there with all your necessities in e.g bread,milk,butter and even ice. I would definitely come back for a few nights here

Absolutely gorgeous shepherds hut.
Absolutely gorgeous shepherds hut. Mark and Sarah are a lovely couple. The hut was so pretty and the surroundings quiet and idyllic. The hut was very private, lovely touches in the hut with everything you need to enjoy a weekend stay. Everything was fitted to such a high standard, it was immaculate. We would certainly stay again.
The hot tub was an amazing touch to relax with a glass of wine. EVEN IN OCTOBER!!!
The only thing I found hard was trying not to make a mess with shoes, also the door Matt was shedding a little with the bristles probably because everything was so pristine and new. The doors inside were a little tough to open and shut. But I’m thinking we might of been the first to stay in this gorgeous hut.
Maybe an area outside to leave wet clothes under a covered area. Besides that you could not fault it. Mark and Sarah gave us such a warm welcome. We were given a lovely welcome hamper, our weekend couldn’t of been more perfect. thank you so much.
