Shepherds Huts at Ballyness Farm

The views were out of this world! Was well worth booking the Mountain View Hut to enjoy the sunset from the hot tub. It felt so private and honestly the most relaxing spot we’ve ever stayed at (we actually tried to book for a 2nd night as we didn’t want to leave). Very cute touches upon arrival of little heart chocolates on the bed, complimentary bubbles and croissant/ cereal breakfast. Loved the whole farmhouse vibe and cute decor. The sauna was probably the best one we’ve ever used overlooking the beautiful fields & mountains, and of course have to mention the baby Shetlands (omg so cute)! Thank you for such a wonderful stay, we will 1000% be returning.

As much as we absolutely loved our visit, we spent a lot of time trying to locate things before we could relax (Wi-Fi, fire logs, drinkware etc). Very poor communication from host when we reached out multiple times which was quite disappointing. It felt like we were left to our own devices to figure things out. All of the info was in the check-in instructions which was only sent 45 mins prior to arrival, so due to us travelling there at that time with no signal it didn’t come through until hours into our stay when we finally found someone to get Wi-Fi password - it would have been so much more helpful to have this sent the day before. This would be our only negative however.

The huts were well equipped and having your own personal hot tub was great

The shepherds hut and personal hot tube was amazing. We did get disturbed a little by maintenance cleaning out the hot tub our first morning. And we're unable to get enough wifi to watch TV in the hot tube. Other huts seemed to be able to, so it may have been a usage issue or maybe because our hot was furthest away. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. The facilities could have been better. The shower struggled to provide enough not water for a shower. I'm assuming because it was so cold. Also there was no hot water in the bathroom or kitchen sinks. We had to boil a kettle. A little microwave would be a useful addition. The hut was very warm and cosy. I think our hut would need the mattress changed as it was quite lumpy. Having said that we had a lovely time and enjoyed our stay very much. The views form the nuts were amazing.

Faster wifi, hot water and a new mattress.

Very well organised. The hot tub was ready to use upon arrival, and the staff kindly offered wine and snacks. The hut is small but well designed, functional, and equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Truly recommended!

Nothing!

Lovely location & nice setting, Hannah was lovely when we arrived.

Electric went out quite a lot everything into darkness and our hot tub shut off so it lost temperature so quickly. Netflix didn’t work in the hot tub and WiFi was also not working… the electric fire was the only thing to heat the hut so we didn’t have anywhere to dry towels or stuff that we used for the hot tub :(

Staff were lovely & friendly. Beds were comfortable Everything was clean You're own private hot tub was a lovely touch with your own TV outside & also getting drinks delivered to your hut was also lovely.

N/a The electric went out at one stage but that was out of the properties control. But was fixed within 5 mins
