Amazing settings and really good fun. Fires at night forest walking and bbq

Spiders webs and alot of spididers in the tent. This ain't a moan it's bound to br as your in a field. Just not a fan waking up to a spider next to me head lol

You couldn't any closer to nature if we tried , from the start James and his Mum and Dad were so very helpful letting us check in early . Our stay at shepherd's Retreat was relaxing and just what we was looking for would definitely stay again and recommend to my friends and family .

The saving grace was the owners dad who was absolutely lovely! Went out of his way to be accommodating and helpful, he brought cakes to say happy birthday to my husband and when we couldn't find fire wood in the local shops he let us use some off cuts he had onsite. Be very greatful you have a father like him, thankyou james dad!

AVOID. It's described as luxurious....its far from it, the place is worn out and overgrown, tents a filthy (when we checked in we were given a tent that hadnt been cleaned from previous occupants the bed had faeces in it, and there was apile of wet towels. The owners mother directed us to another tent but im not really sure the lady knew what to do, very strange experience there, we were given a bottle as compensation but unfortunately a bottle of booze doesn't cover the fact the whole place is deceptive, it's not as advertised and the pictures that you see uploaded do not look anything like it does in person, it's been left to mould and fall apart. We were 3 hrs away from home so had to stay, I had emailed before we came and I had asked for it to be made special as it was my husbands birthday, I stated i would pay whatever it costs, this email wasn't even looked at it seems! Despite every email coming from a 'james' it became apparent all 9 of the emails were generic (and yes 9 emails one after the other is ridiculous) The new tent we were given was water logged in places and the ground was that uneven the bed was on a slope resulting in us rolling to one side, the jacuzzi that is in the picture advertised is not the one that is there. The hammocks are mouldy!!! Do not use them Fire pits and bbqs have all seen better days and need binning And to top it all off we had a dog in our tent at 1am on the day we were due to leave....FYI we dont own a dog!!! Overall avoid, no we won't be back, did we enjoy it, yes buckingham Is beautiful and the hot tub when you close your eyes was ok, but all in all never again. I have so many more pictures of things that were wrong but it won't allow me to update them Enclosed pics: Wet towels from previous occupants Faeces on sheets from previous occupants Firepits beyond rusty Hammocks full of mould

The use of the spa and the location

The bed could of been a bit higher off the ground and the floor could have been level. There were lots of stinging nettles and other weeds that could have been cleared. A chair inside would have been good too

Hot tub/ spa area and very comfy beds

Spa/Hot tub/Sauna session included and easy to book more sessions on line. The peace and quietness. Use of Eco friendly products. Barbecue and hammock provided. Hot drink making facilities / microwave/ shop on site.

Floor of tent could possibly be on a more level base as it was very uneven.
