Amazingingly cosy shepherd's hut in a private area of the site. Lovely views of the early evening with the top of the stable door open. Lots of open space for a walk. A folder containing a large array of leaflets was incredibly helpful in providing activities for my stay. Great location. Torch and dressing gown provided for the night time trips to Read morethe loo. Hide

It was absolute perfection, I've never stayed anywhere where I've felt so welcomed and at home. The undercover area, for the use of The Stargazer guests, was a stroke of genius and I was inspired by it! Thank you so much to Louise and Frank, for sharing your beautiful home so generously, we can't wait to visit again!

What a lovely few days! Had a very warm welcome on arriving and instantly fell in love with the place as soon as I saw it. They really have thought of everything. Perfect place for me and my dog Frank to relax, and felt safe too, which is always important when you're a lone female. 100% will go back again. Thank you Louise and Frank.

A great holiday destination for those who want a more comfortable camping experience. The shepherd's hut has that "tiny house" feeling and is extremely cozy. We had a delightful welcome from the proprietors, and its great location makes for an excellent base to explore the area from.

Although basic its incredibly cosey and comfortable. Placed in a really private spot. You really feel like you're sleeping in the woods. Brilliant little place can highly recommend.
