A very cosy and warm hut with good cooking options and very comfortable bed. The shower is good and great to have underfloor heating for chillier days. Lovely to have a hot tub, although this had a noisy hum to block out at night. Be prepared for visits from the farm dogs! Overall a good place to stay.

Had an amazing time in the Shepherds Hut, it was exactly what we wanted. The WiFi didn't work, but that didn't bother us. We expect it in such a rural location. The hot tub was fantastic for watching the stars at night, just need to keep an eye that it doesn't switch off. The views were stunning and the hut was so comfortable with all the facilitieRead mores you could ask for. Would definitely go there again. Hide

Lovely hut on a dairy farm, WiFi wasn't working and the hot tub is tricky to get started. The view from the hut is stunning and dog works around fields are amazing but can get very boggy if it rains too much, so don't forget wellies! Pls be aware of a lot of flies in the hut as it is a dairy farm!

The Shepherds hut was lovely! Me and my partner both really enjoyed our stay, the hut itself was very clean and had everything provided that we needed. The hot tub looking out into the fields was very relaxing and just what we both needed. Especially lovely at night when the cows would come up into the field and peer over the fence! Beautiful hut.
