Fantastic! Beautiful hut, very warm, secure and had lots of lovely touches. Despite booking last minute when I arrived Maggie had already lit the wood burner and there was enough wood and smokeless coal to keep it going all night. Comfortable bed complete with electric blanket. Was really nice to sit next to the wood burner with the stable door open and look at the view. Superb breakfast and Maggie provided ample even though I chose vegetarian. Another nice thing about this site is there is you are not sharing with other campers/glampers. Nice walks, and despite a short climb to get to the old railway track from there the walks were quite flat with lovely views.

Microwave, mugs, dishes, cutlery, kettle, tea, coffee, milk, BBQ (which I didn't use) all provided. Close to the farmhouse where the toilet and shower is. Maggie was really helpful. Clean towels and beds made up. I definitely hope to come back when the days are a bit longer. It was such a relaxing spot.

Loved the fact there was an optional discount for a solo traveller.

Nothing! Just one comment there is space for 3, although it's a double bed with a built in single bunk bed immediately above it. It would be OK for two adults, or an adult and two smaller children, but personally I wouldn't want to stay there with 3 adults as the half of the double bed which is under the bunk bed and enclosed on 3 sides doesn't have enough height between the beds for anyone to avoid banging their head on the wooden base of the bunk every time they tried to sit up. I certainly wouldn't be comfortable sleeping in that part of the bed and I'm about 5' 3".

Maggie looked after us. Making sure we had everything we needed. Would have loved to have stopped a few extra days. We took a small fire pit with us and they gave us an unlimited amount of wood to burn which was good.

Stayed with my 6 year old son for one night in the Shepherd’s Hut. Set overlooking the valley, on the edge of a working farm, it’s a great location if you’re hankering after a bit of peace and quiet in a rural and rustic location - which we were. Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by the owner, Maggie, who was wonderful. What’s more, she is an amazing cook and as other have said, the breakfast was one of the best I’ve had, with locally sourced, quality produce. My son loved the Shepherd’s Hut and is already asking to go again.

Thanks for a great stay.
