Always wanted to stay in a shepherds hut and Longwool Lookout fully lived up to my expectations. I loved every minute from the moment I arrived until I had to (reluctantly) leave. Mary and Tom are utterly charming and super keen to ensure everything lived up to my expectations. Unique and tranquil location with fabulous views. The hut has been finished to an exceptionally high standard and the attention to detail is outstanding. I thoroughly recommend the experience and will definitely be returning.

Idyllic retreat to disconnect and immerse in 'nature cure'. Wildlife watching from the door: stargazing and bat patrol. Log burner ensured nights were cosy. Fairy lights in the willow tree added magic at dusk. I love the layout of this Shepherd's hut and hope to return.
