The Owl Hoot

Everything.. from the drive through the countryside to the location and facilities.. we even had a bath outside in the rain. Admittedly not for long... pubs just a short walk away. Seriously though if you want a nice quiet break this is the place.... Even the small touches like tea coffee and milk.

The Owl Hoot, a fully equipped Shepherds hut in Beautiful Ipstones Staffs. Communication with the host was easy, and nothing was too much trouble. Situated on farm land, nestled away from busy roads and buildings. The Shepherds hut is beautifully presented and has a large privacy covered outdoor tub with wonderfully hot water. We took a dip under the stars and it was heavenly. The kitchen is well equipped, with sturdy La creuset pans, kettle, toaster, four ring top oven l, sink, cutlery,coffee maker, chopping boards etc. The Bed is comfortable, and in a cozy little nook overlooking the beautiful grounds of the countryside. The property is clean and modern with a rustic feel. The log burner is a nice touch, and throws out some heat. Logs and fire starting equipment are provided by the host. Outside our dog was able to free roam which was a very nice comforting feeling. Outside you have a fire pit and bbq, along with the large outdoor tub. There is no wheelchair access to this property so take this into account if you're not able bodied. Honestly no criticism at all from our stay. I have included pictures of views from the windows of the shepherds hut. Nearby, we visited Dovedale ( pictures included) the scenery is breathtaking and worth soaking up. The village has a nice pub, and down by the pre school is a lovely little village cafe. All of the locals were lovely. Already planning our next visit.

There is nothing here that we didn't like. The best little hideaway we have found in a long time. Credit to the hosts all round

Perfect , was snowing and really cold but so warm and cosy inside comfy bed brilliant place to stay short walk to 3 pubs couldn’t recommend it more

Nothing

Quirky, charming and comfortable property in a beautiful location. The hosts were fantastic, extremely welcoming and accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed.

Towels left in the bathroom were slightly soiled when we arrived. We had brought our own but it would have been no trouble to ask for fresh towels if we’d needed them. Other than that slight issue the property and our stay there was wonderful!

Great communication from hosts. Log burner made the space warm Netflix on tv Outdoor bath a nice touch 15 min walk into village

Nothing!

It was so cosy and warm with the fire, a very comfy bed and everything you could need for a chilled out stay. It was perfect.

Excellent short break. Enjoyed the stay especially the outside bath a great feature

The journey due to the storm!
