Foxes Den shepherd's hut (pet friendly, double)
Liked: Campsite was spotless
Breakfast was lovely
Shower block spotless cleaner in by 0800 daily. Showers hot.
Accomodation clean comfortable bed
Watch the white owl flying around.
Disliked: Breakfast price misleading with the item add ons etc. shouldn't have to pay a set price if you just want 2 poached eggs that would cost £5. Some families budget and this would really hit there pocket hard on the first day of holiday.
The bushes at the back need to he cut down on the foxes den kept us up smacking the shepherds hut with the wind and unsettled one of my dogs.

Quackin' Up shepherd's hut (pet friendly, twin)
Liked: Excellent hut, decent beds, enough space for 2 and everything you could require for a short break or weekend. Toilet/shower facilities a sort walk away, which were spotless and as we were the only residents in the huts over the weekend we were there, it was pretty much private too. Plenty of great dog walks available, nice cafe in the marina, very relaxing and highly recommended.

Bee Happy shepherd's hut (no pets, double)
Liked: Everything about the place it was just perfect .. quiet and super peaceful and laid back.. huts not far at all from shower and toilet facilities in which we practically had to ourselves they were clean with hot showers.. huts were clean and warm with everything we needed for our stay.. huts overlook the canal nice to sit early morning outside and watch the boats pass by peacefully.. excellent location for walks a cafe on site serving lovely food almost home from home feels... Will almost definitely be staying again very soon .

Foxes Den shepherd's hut (pet friendly, double)
Liked: The location by the canal was lovely.
The firepit, logs and firelighters.
Bed very comfy.
Thank you for the relaxed check out time. It was lovely not to have to rush.
Disliked: A bit of privacy between each hut would be nice.
A bedside table each side of the bed would be useful especially for my cup of tea in bed.
I personally don't like a lot of cushions. They look good but then you have to find a place for them when you take them off the bed and they end up on the floor which is a shame.
