Absolutely loved this place, stunning and tranquil. Watching the animals, birds and sunset was amazing. Hot tub great and easy to use.Shame there wasn’t a toaster, starter pack of wood and welcome pack , the latter 2 were advertised.On last evening of 4 nights We we’re plagued by flying ants as were our neighbours in next hut. When I say plagued, they covered the hut and the ground appeared to be moving as there were so many. Also there was a swarm above the hut and covered my husband. Spent 2 hours trying to get rid of them but as they were getting into the hut we had to pack up and leave.

Hole farm, shepherds hut has my heart! My husband purposed to me here in the shepherds hut in 2023 and weve just come back from a 2 night getaway here for his birthday! The farm owners are lovely and the hut itselfs is well equipped, clean and amazing for all weathers. We watched the sunset from the hot tub and watched the owner collect the hay bales from the field(very pleasing when your a country girl stuck living in a small town) The owners are easy to contact and the farm is beautiful to walk round to see the animals and farm life. I would 100% recommend to anyone! We will 100% be returning time and time again!
