Lovely place and we both loved it! We liked that the bathroom area was separate to the rest of the living area, as it meant more space to get changed etc especially for the hot tub next door!

We had an absolutely lovely time at the hut. The hut itself is lovely and well put together, and we found the bed to be comfy. The separate bathroom and 'shed' area (with fridge and microwave) were both great. After walking, the hot tub is a real bonus. The views from the garden and all around are really lovely.

Was lovely to wake up to the horses neighing. Hot tub was easy to use, bed was really comfy and the location was good as felt away from it all but only 15 mins to city of Hereford for some retail therapy. Good amount of storage for small hut. Only issue was listed internet access but no Wi-Fi. Good job phone service was ok. Nice country walks.

My partner and I had a great stay! We brought our dog, she loved running around the enclosed garden and sniffing through the fence at the neighbouring horses. The shepherds hut was cosy and warm, it was great having the outhouse to put our bags and shoes in so we had ample space. Our highlight was definitely the views from the hot tub every morningRead more, watching the sheep graze! Hide
