The Hut

No breakfast but not an issue for me.

nothing to dislike

The location is lovely and quiet with a really nice view, the log burner was easy to use and there were logs left for us to use. The shepherd’s hut was nice and clean for our arrival even when we arrived early and there was a little kitchen area with shower and toilet to use too a short walk away. Staff were very welcoming and showed us where we needed to go when we arrived.

The shower and toilet had quite a few spiders in when we arrived which we got rid of ourselves. There are geese and ducks wondering around so you have to avoid their poo everywhere on the way to and from the utility area and shower and toilet - could be easier to have a toilet & shower nearer to avoid this maybe? The decking also got very wet after it rained and then was very slippery as a result and my partner did actually slip over, luckily didn’t do any damage but it’s a hazard after it rains so maybe needs a clean and to be adjusted to help with this.

I loved everything about The Hut, it's location and amazing views, all the animals ( I really loved the cuddles from Spike and Loki the owners dogs) super friendly and the place was so peaceful, pure bliss. I loved the fact that the hut had no electricity and was lit by candle light. Waking up to the animals and sunrise was utterly amazing and beautiful. We really enjoyed spending quality time together surrounded by nothing but nature.

The only thing I didn't like was having to leave and go home at the end of our stay

We liked that it was located in a nice and peaceful location.

We didn’t like the fact that there were loose geese and ducks all around and were not sectioned off from the hut which actually resulted in my girlfriend having a panic attack as they quickly move towards us when trying to get back to the hut in a viscous manner on the evening we arrived. We understand this facility is situated on a farm and more of a glamping experience to camping in a tent or staying in a hotel, however, although the hut in general was well presented upon close inspection there were loads of unpleasant insects to which that evening the roof in the hut seemed to have had an infestation of spiders of all sizes crawling around and on the bed. Unfortunately, due to coming back later on in the evening we could see with our flashlights they were everywhere and this made us too uncomfortable to actually sleep the night, resulting in us having to find another accommodation last minute. We had booked to stay for 2 nights and we felt so uncomfortable after that experience that we could not return and did not sleep either nights.

perfect for the summer weather. waking up to the most gorgeous views of animals and fields upon fields. the hut was warm and the bed was cosy and comfy. log burner if you needed it but we found it perfect without. beautiful porch where we could enjoy sitting and having a coffee in the morning and a glass of wine at night. the staff were friendly and the lady that dealt with us came and picked us up when we were lost! really helpful and lovely! for the price we would recommend it to anyone and if we were re-visiting the area we’d definitely re book. just be aware when booking it’s a slight walk to the toilets and shower however we weren’t phased by this and if anything it added to the experience. thank you for the lovely weekend x

A very relaxing and peaceful place to stay. Kathy was friendly and helpful.
