Shepherd's hut
Liked: Me and my son had a great time staying in a Shepherd Hut. Played games and roasted marshmallows on the fire. The hut was super warm...even with frost on the ground in the morning. Popped to the heritage cafe for breakfast...as well as a couple of games of crazy golf before leaving. Would definitely recommend.

Shepherd's hut
Liked: The shepherds hamlet is an amazing experience. We got married there 5 years ago and always want to return on our Anniversary or any other occasion. The information file in the huts is brilliant, it has suggestions of walks, restaurants & anything else you might need or want. The hut are so cozy too. The staff are very helpful and the food is very good if you choose to eat at the cafe. The experience allows you the opportunity to get back to nature which is proven for positive well being. I thoroughly recommend a visit 👍🏻☺️

Shepherd's hut
Liked: * Accomodation was fantastic. Clean and modern. Bed was comfy and a great size. Shower was amazing! Area around huts so well kept. * The location was great. Stayed for 2 nights and didn't go anywhere offsite (except hubby to get a takeaway one night!) Children's play area was fantastic. Heritage cafe was beautiful inside. Hall was great to look around. Wafflery was fabulous please visit! My 2 young children absolutely loved it, we will be staying again fir sure.
Disliked: * Not a dislike as such but huts are close together,if someone is staying opposite you I don't think it would feel as private (they were empty when we stayed luckily) but it wouldn't put me off staying, just maybe feel a bit awkward!

Shepherd's hut
Liked: We absolutely loved our stay from start to finish. On arrival we met a lovely lady on reception who was happy for us to check in early, which really helped with the 5 children we had between my friend and I. We planned on eating out for dinner and the lovely lady recommended various places to eat in the area and highlighted which ones were good for children. We loved the hut and surrounding areas and are already planning our next visit.
