Guests praise the beautiful, well-decorated huts and tranquil surroundings, highlighting thoughtful hosts and excellent amenities like underfloor heating and hot drink provisions. The stunning views and private seating areas are frequently mentioned. Minor drawbacks include occasional difficulty locating the site by postcode and challenges with the hot tubs and Wi-Fi.

Loved our stay, thank you Chris. We plan to come back!
Herbie's shepherd's hut
Liked Tranquil surroundings. Beautifully decorated accommodation. Very thoughtful and friendly host. Great information folder for our stay. The snug was so lovely with a lovely wow factor touch. Really valued the underfloor heating. Great hot drinks provisions.
Disliked Bedsheet kept popping off and hard to get back on in the snug, would suggest having deeper fitted bedsheets to hopefully avoid that issue.

Lillie's shepherd's hut
Liked WOW, Amazing views, peaceful, well equipped, comfortable, just lovely all round. The huts are beautiful. the hot tubs are amazing once you get them to temperature and the owner is very friendly.
the huts are well equipped and have everything you need for a comfortable stay.
thankyou
Disliked Nothing.
but as a suggestion it would be good to add canopies over the hot tubs. We had lovely weather while we were there but I cant image being in the hot tub in bad weather would be very nice.

Lillie's shepherd's hut
Liked The hut was so very cute . The owner was lovely and very helpful and went above and beyond. The scenery was very picturesque and is based in a lovley area. The hut was clean and tidy and had all essential you could need.
Disliked We found the hot tub hard to use. However this is no fault to the owner as he offered to come and help if we need it.
