Shepherd's hut
Liked: The hut was charming. Spotless and warm too. A large garden to ourselves and beautiful area. Couldn't ask for a nicer place to stay.
Disliked: The only thing missing is indoor cooking facilities. There is however a gas barbecue outside. Not easy to cook breakfast on in the rain! Didn't cause us a problem as we ate out.

Shepherd's hut
Liked: We had a perfect stay. The hut was very well prepared and equipped, and beautifully presented. The bed was extremely comfortable. We made good use of the fire pit and the bbq. The location was lovely, with a very quiet road to one side and woodlands to the other. The only sounds were the songs of the birds. Very secluded and cosy. No phone signal which was a bonus. We used the hut as a base for some adventures in the area, the location was ideal. There is a pub in very short walking distance with outdoor seating next to a river.
Disliked: We disliked leaving, both wanted to stay indefinitely.

A really lovely, peaceful and, unexpectedly, secluded place to stay.

Shepherd's hut
Liked: The interior has been furnished to a high standard, and everything listed was included - meaning we just needed to bring ourselves and BBQ food/drinks. The owners were also wonderful to deal with.
