Beautifully secluded gem in stunning surroundings.
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.
