Shepherd's hut
Liked: The Shepod was well finished with all of the facilities needed. The location on a working farm was amazing and was a perfect site for exploring the surrounding countryside. Eating on the decking, watching the cows was a treat. The Shepod was perfect for dogs too. The owners were approachable, friendly and nice to chat to. All in all a wonderful place, nice accommodation and we will be back.

Liked: Lovely little shepherd hut, equipped with everything you need. Absolutely spotless on arrival and in such a quiet location. Had an amazing time and will definitely be returning. The host made us feel so welcome even on such a short notice booking, greeted us on arrival showed us round, and left us to it knowing she was only a text message away if we needed assistance. Will definitely be looking to return in the future!
