Shepherd's hut
Liked We loved the setting and the quirkiness. This was a last minute booking for us as we didn't like the look of the weather for camping. This provided the ideal alternative. It's rustic but warm, dry and even has a superb hot shower and toilet facilities. We lay in bed and looked out upon the most beautiful view with our morning coffee and later on had the best BBQ and got the fire pit going. What an adventure and such good value for money.

Shepherd's hut
Liked The peace and quiet. Everything we needed was there to make our stay perfect. Waking up in the morning to see Bob the horse and the spectacular views. If you want to switch off this is the place for you.

Had a lovely three night stay. Friendly and helpful owner.
Shepherd's hut
Liked Fab location. Very private and quiet. Great log burner. Useful little kitchen room with microwave and kettle. Farm shops and cafes within walking distance. Village pub also within walking distance.
Disliked The toilet. I think I'd have preferred a compost toilet.

Basic glamping in a wonderful part of the country
Shepherd's hut
Liked The location, scenery, friendliness of host, views, ease to find, dog friendly, basic necessities included, log burner was super warm in the windy evenings, shower and loo attached. Sun from dawn to dusk so perfect placement, lots to do and see within an hours drive.
Disliked Quite small and has a lean so feels like you're going to roll out of bed, maybe sunk into the ground a little over time. The bed is also no more than 5 ft 5/6 so if you're tall you'll struggle to lay properly.

Shepherd's hut
Liked Beautiful view, peaceful setting, everything you need provided. Affordable price compared to other shepherd's huts, so those wanting 5 star luxury glamping might be disappointed but certainly a more comfortable, private treat than our usual tent experience! Warm welcome from owner who was very helpful.
