Shepherd's Hut - Shepherds HutOct 2024

A very nice place to stay, the bed was so comfy and the surroundings were so quiet, we overslept! We were lucky enough that the weather let us use the firepit too, so all on all a great stay.

We loved our stay and had a great time

Shepherd's Hut - Shepherds HutMay 2024

We stayed one night in this delightful Shepherd's Hut, located in it's own private garden. Check in was easy, with plenty of room to park. We explored the local footpaths in the afternoon and had a lovely meal nearby. We made use of the fire pit and dry evening and sat outside till late enjoying the fire and peace. The hut was very clean and tidy with everything you need inside. Would love to stay again.
