Shepherds hut is well situated, a little in land so you can go out in any direction, we love going to sandringham for a lovely walk and the dogs have a great time. Mary and John are lovely people, nothing is too much bother, the garden is huge, the dogs love running around with little Ted, John and Maryâs dog. The cottage is lovely and clean, the beds are very comfortable with good bedding. I would recommend Shepherds Hut to anyone who wants to be in a lovely quiet comfortable place with very friendly owners

Watching the stars on a clear night away from light pollution was a fantastic experience that is rare in this country these days. A comfortable and cosy cottage, it had everything we needed for a week - but if you run out of anything the nearest shops are two miles away in the village! The Wild Fowler in Terrington St. Clement does an excellent Sunday lunch and the stunning Mediaeval church at Walpole St. Peter is a must see. Kings Lynn is about twenty minutes' drive away and has a very interesting collection of old buildings plus modern shops and eateries. Overall we really enjoyed our stay here.
