Went by myself for my birthday and absolutely loved it. The Hut was spotless and had everything you need. The hot tub was lovely and hot. Met the owner the once when I got there and he was very nice. Had a lovely walk down to the pub for Dinner which was very nice too.Definitely booking again for next year and would recommend to anyone wanting time away from the craziness of home life and work.

We had a lovely stay in a very tranquil setting. The shepherds hut was beautiful and the addition of a hot tub was a bonus. The hut was clean and well equipped.I’ve given it a 4 as there was a few attention to detail items which if hadn’t of been there would have pushed it to 5 stars, these didn’t spoil the stay but was surprised these things weren’t noticed when the hut was cleaned and checked before our arrival.We would definitely stay again if coming to the area(1) Teatowel had a massive burn hole in it(2) 2 lightbulbs were blown(3) Handle on the inside of the hot tub was broken making it tricky to get in without something to hold on to.(4) Outside bbq was filthy with the grill covered in burnt on rock hard food bits(5) Torch wasn’t working
