From the manager: We were disappointed to hear you had a negative experience and felt you had to leave early. We will review our information on the booking site to ensure everything is accurate and up to date. Unfortunately the recent extreme weather has taken it's toll on the site and we will have a close look at the leaky floor. We will also look closely at your other comments and take any action we feel necessary.
Clean, well organised site with quirky properties to enjoy!

Otter Hobbit House 1 bedroom microlodge
Liked: We loved the place and the people. Everyone at the farm was so welcoming and kind. My grandaughter loved being allowed to "help" with herding the sheep and feeding the lambs. We kayaked up the top loch and went croc hunting in the bottom one. Her favourite was the flying-fox zip slide over the water outside our wee hobbit house.

The Wheel House 1 bedroom cabin
Liked: Hands down the most enjoyable glamping experience yet, after a long trip up from Manchester there was nothing that needed doing, show up and let the kids loose...bedding provided and nothing to set up, it was a really easy experience for me as I have 8-year-old twins and I am a single Dad. The most enjoyable part of the stay besides the total freedom to explore places like the communal outbuildings and lochs was the attention that Jamie showed to all the kids that where on site, ranging from sheep Hearding to rides around in the open top Landrover Defender hunting for the crocodile (Fake) and even gathering the kids to watch him take Shadow the horse for a dip in the loch (will include pics). All this why working the busy 400-acre farm. Even with us living so far away I would 100% revisit and recommend Shepherds Loch!
Disliked: NOTHING!
