The Shepherd's Loft

Liked We enjoyed meeting the animals. It was also peaceful which is what we wanted.

Disliked The facilities were limited for the amount of pitches. I would have thought there should be more. Unfortunately other guests kept leaving it messy which was not the owners fault.

Liked Only 7 pitches and we had the site to ourselves, tho it was a Sunday night, so lovely and peaceful. Basic site but had everything you needed, toilet block was clean and shower was lovely and hot. Would stay there again.

Disliked A little updating in the showerblock would be good as there was a slightly rusty chair and bin. The shower cubicle itself was looking a little jaded but it was clean

From the manager: Thank you so much for your lovely review and for recommending us to friends—we really appreciate it!

We’re delighted you enjoyed the peace and quiet of the site and that you had it almost to yourselves. Being a small site is something many of our guests love, and we’re pleased you found it had everything you needed. It’s also great to hear you found the facilities clean and enjoyed a lovely hot shower.

Thank you as well for your constructive feedback about the shower block. We really appreciate you taking the time to mention it. We’re continually making improvements to the site, and refreshing the facilities is part of our ongoing plans. Your comments are very helpful as we prioritise those updates.

We’re so pleased to hear you would stay with us again, and we look forward to welcoming you back for another peaceful countryside escape soon

From the manager: Thank you for your review! We’re delighted you enjoyed the picturesque surroundings, the peaceful atmosphere, and found everything clean and welcoming. Your kind comments about the friendly welcome are very much appreciated.

We understand that our location may feel a little remote to some visitors. Being tucked away in the countryside is part of what creates the peace, quiet, and beautiful views that many guests come here to enjoy, while still being within easy reach of local attractions, walks, and market towns.

Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to welcome you back for another relaxing stay in the future! 😊🌿

Liked The peace and tranquility, the friendly nature of the team.

Disliked Having to walk past the caged guard dogs, my wife is scared of dogs so she was somewhat limited. We understand its a working farm, but it might be an idea to have access to the pond and walks behind the barns?

From the manager: Thank you for your review. We’re delighted that you enjoyed the peace and tranquillity of the site and found the team friendly and welcoming.

We also appreciate your feedback regarding the dogs. As you mentioned, we are a working farm, and the dogs are securely contained within their kennels. We completely understand that some guests may be nervous around dogs, and we’re sorry to hear this limited your wife’s enjoyment of certain areas during your stay.

Thank you as well for your suggestion regarding access to the pond and walks behind the barns. The areas beyond the barns are part of our working farm, so access is restricted for safety reasons. However, we always appreciate guest feedback and will keep your comments in mind as we continue to look at ways to enhance the visitor experience.

Thank you again for staying with us, and we hope to welcome you back in the future.

Liked Quiet location, plenty of walks from site, friendly owners, lots of wildlife about, fresh eggs and jams available.

Disliked Only one bathroom

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so pleased you enjoyed the peaceful location, the walks straight from the site, and all the wildlife around us. It’s also great to hear you enjoyed the fresh eggs and jams—we love being able to offer those little extras for our guests.

Thank you as well for your feedback regarding the bathroom facilities. As a small site we do keep things fairly simple, but we understand this may not suit everyone and we appreciate you sharing your thoughts.

We hope to welcome you back again soon for another relaxing countryside stay!

Liked The site is a wonderful, secluded getaway that offers a truly quiet and intimate atmosphere away from the crowds. One of the standout features was the local farm animals, including the donkeys and chickens, which wandered right up to the site and provided great entertainment for our daughter. It is a charming, peaceful spot for anyone looking for a small, out-of-the-way retreat in the heart of the countryside.

Disliked The entrance would benefit from much clearer signage, as it is easy to miss and results in some difficult maneuvering in the narrow surrounding lanes. Additionally, the infrastructure feels quite limited with only a single toilet and shower unit available for guests. The washing-up facilities could also be improved by the addition of warm water, as the current setup is a bit too basic for a fully comfortable stay.

From the manager: Thank you for your thoughtful and detailed review. We’re delighted you enjoyed the peaceful, secluded atmosphere of the site—it’s exactly what we aim to offer for those looking to escape the crowds. It’s lovely to hear your daughter enjoyed the donkeys and chickens too; they certainly like to make themselves part of the experience!

We really appreciate your constructive feedback as well. We understand the entrance can be easy to miss, and we’re already looking at ways to improve the signage to make arrivals smoother. Regarding the facilities, we aim to keep things simple in keeping with the small, off-grid feel of the site, but we do take your comments on board—especially around the washing-up area—and will consider how we can improve comfort while maintaining that charm.

Thanks again for staying with us, and we hope to welcome you back in the future.

Liked Quiet
Flat pitch with reasonable space
Friendly greeting
Donkeys were nice

Disliked Only 1 shower and toilet for the whole site and both together so if shower occupied, meant waiting for bathroom, not ideal with young children
Shower was small and not very warm
No hot water available in the washing up area

From the manager: Thank you for your review. We’re really pleased you enjoyed the quiet atmosphere, spacious pitches, friendly welcome, and of course the donkeys!

We appreciate your feedback regarding the facilities. As a small site, we do keep things simple, but we understand that having a single combined shower and toilet can be less convenient, especially for families. We’ll certainly take your comments on board, including the shower temperature and lack of hot water at the washing-up area, as we look at ways to improve the experience for our guests.

Thanks again for your stay
