Absolutely beautiful location with plenty of green space, seclusion and a real sun spot on the right day, but with plenty of options for shade. The finish of the Shepherds hut is incredibly good and the bed is so comfy, being king size. Excellent hosts and a great location on the Island to be able to reach all corners and attractions. The fire hut Read moreis a big bonus for those who love to cook on open fires. Excellent produce around locally as well and loads of walks and nature everywhere. Book now! Hide

Amazing little hideaway! Really peaceful location. Owners were super friendly, and made sure the hut was well equipped, even down to a bottle of red!! Summerhouse was a wonderful place to sit in the evenings, and the area was beautiful. Well worth a visit, especially for wildlife lovers!! If your really lucky you may even see a mole!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location is briliant: in the quiet countryside, with easy access to everywhere on the island. Our hosts, Ollie and Rachel are very warm and welcoming and have a wealth of knowledge about places to visit, the best places to eat, etc. All in all, it was an excellent week, providing us with many happy memories!
