JOYCE AMIES
First holiday in a Shepherds Hut. Very impressed with the thought and care that had gone into providing everything to make our stay so good. Lovely helpful host and beautiful peaceful setting ( we didn't go in lambing season then it wouldn't have been so peaceful ). Lovely enclosed garden for the dog. Would highly recommend booking you won't be disappointed.

The place was lovely and the hosts were fantastic, lots of little extras added to make our stay more enjoyable. If I had to give a small negative it would be the size of the fridge, it was usable but quite small.
