What customers say
This site receives consistent praise for its cleanliness, friendly and helpful staff, and well-maintained facilities, including comfortable huts and a popular hot tub. Guests appreciate the peaceful atmosphere, beautiful location ideal for walking, and the availability of communal areas like a games room and kitchen. WiFi and phone signal can be weak. Some guests note that the huts can be close together, impacting privacy. A few recent reviews mention issues with the heating in the huts and limited opening hours for the local pub.

Anonymous Shepherd's hut (four person, hot tub, private bathroom amenities)
Liked Tidy, clean, lovely location, quiet and respectful guests. No one was bothering anyone. Communal showers and toilets are clean, big, freshly redecorated. Bed linen tidy. The local shop is just the best. You can get anything there and it has some kind of magic to it
Disliked Communal entertainment area needs refreshing and furniture replacement due to tear and wear. However everything kept tidy, so really nothing major.
