FLORA Luxury Retreat, Private Garden, Views & Hot Tub

The location, privacy and views are fantastic, a short car drive can take you from pub lunches to fantastic walks. The hosts make you feel pampered and nothing seems left to chance, great welcome hamper.

The flies but to be expected this time of year and where u are.

I stayed in Flora. I had the most fantastic time staying here. The place was spotlessly clean. The owner was wonderful she helped me bring my luggage in. She lit the wood fired hot tub ready for my arrival. Logs sticks and fire lighters were provided as many as you wanted. A hamper water and a bottle of Prosecco was waiting for me. The hamper included marshmallows to use on the brazier such wonderful little touches like this make all the difference! The place smelt like a spa and the toiletries were really luxurious. Shampoo conditioner body wash hand soap and body lotion were all provided. There was also a hairdryer. The shampoo and conditioner made my hair go really nice. All you need to bring is a tooth brush tooth paste and deodorant. Tea coffee milk eggs sugar and bread were provided including biscuits and chocolate. You also get a large bag of ground coffee which they make on site. Everything about this place was immaculate including the garden. All the fixtures and fittings were really good quality with solid oak throughout. There is a smart view TV and fast Wi-Fi. There is also a record player that links up to the Bluetooth radio. The properly also had underfloor heating. There were robes and slippers provided. There were also Hunter wellies and an outside torch. I will definitely be returning. It made my birthday week extra special.

There were lots of flies with it being near a farm but the owner thoughtfully provided fly spray and a fly swat.

The peace and quiet aswell as the privacy the warm welcome

Beautiful, spotlessly clean, relaxing and cosy

What a stay! I can’t believe my luck stumbling upon this little gem of a shepherd’s hut. It is absolutely stunning, set in its own private garden with an amazing log fired hot tub and fire pit for melting marshmallows. We came away for my fiancée’s birthday and wanted somewhere close to the Grassholme Observatory as that’s where I had booked for a stargazing activity. It couldn’t have been better located, and the views from the garden and hot tub itself were just as fabulous as at the observatory. The hosts, Sarah and Scott, were fantastic and on hand to help whenever we needed them. They have thought of everything, and even added bespoke touches for our stay, including a birthday banner and balloons. The welcome basket was a really lovely surprise and we enjoyed everything that had been put in there. The hut itself was kitted out with all sorts to make our stay comfortable. The bed was comfy and had extra blankets (and a step for those who might be shorter than we are to get up!) The kitchen had all the utensils and pans you’d need to cook up a breakfast or simple dinner, and even had oil, condiments and tea & sugar. There was washing up liquid and cleaning supplies, too. In the bathroom, there were cosy towels, a powerful shower, a hair dryer and shampoo, conditioner and soap. Entertainment wise, the hut had a radio/speaker which connects to the record player (ideal for my vinyl loving partner), a smart tv and some playing cards as well as the hot tub. We’ve had the most amazing time and will definitely be back.

Very well equiped Shepherd Hut. Excellent private grden & hot tub. First class welcome and information from Sarah. We will return.

What is not to like!

A totally beautiful place, the hut and gardens were stunning. We loved the wood fired hot tub ( so easy to use ) and the stars were amazing. The hut itself was stunning filled with fabulous touches from the strong shower and excellent bed. Sarah was so nice and welcoming. The welcome basket was filled with kind touches. The coffee is delicious. From robes and slippers to lovely smelling towels we can't praise this place enough. We didn't want to leave. Thank you so much. X x

The worst bit was having to leave. We could have quite happily stayed another night. A marvelous gem of a place.
