The Warren shepherd's hut
Liked: We had a really special couple of days celebrating a birthday and seeing in the new year. The shepherds hut had everything we needed and the birthday balloons and bunting was a lovely touch! Also the basket of local treats. We enjoyed our evenings in the hot tub then going back into the cosy hut. Perfect! Nat and Mat were the perfect hosts along with the menagerie of friendly animals. We will definitely be returning.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Dear Ann, We are so pleased you, Howard & Taffy had a lovely stay here! You were the perfect guests. The hut was left spotless, no sign of a dog staying! Thank you and we can’t wait to see you all again.
