- James (10/5): Our stay at the Garden Rooms - Me and my partner stayed here for a chilled couple of days for her birthday and that's exactly what we got. We stayed in Luna which had an amazing garden which felt very private and a nice hot tub to dip into and relax. We arrived to a little greeting package of goodies and even some champagne which was a brilliant touch. The cabin was absolutely spotless and had everything we needed, Sarah was always a message away if we ever needed anything aswell. We visited high force waterfall which is only about 10/15 minutes drive away. We even said the first night we arrived we will be definitely booking up again, the place was amazing and just what we needed. Absolutely nothing.
- Bennett (10/5): Exceptional - Luna was incredibly well thought through, with wellies and records to play - not to mention the goodie basket. It was my partners birthday and they arranged some beautiful banners and balloons. Overall our 2 night stay was comfortable and just what we needed for a rest and countryside break.
- Tom (10/5): Luxury lodge in a great location - Very luxury hut that had everything we needed for a weekend stay.

There wasn’t anything to dislike

- Laura (10/5): Perfect break - The hut is outstanding in every respect. It’s cosy, comfortable and perfectly set out. The settings are peaceful, the garden is well kept and stunning. The bath is amazing and the bed was spot on. My husband and I are both very tall and we didn’t feel cramped in. First experience in a Shepards hut and Sarah and Scott (Owners) have set the bar exceptionally high! This place is a gem with so much attention to detail. We will be back.
- Nicky (10/5): The Garden Rooms are a beautiful safe-haven and sanctuary! - Beautifully designed with real attention to detail. Just the perfect environment to get away from everything and recalibrate. Sarah & Scott have thought everything through with their guests in mind. I love the privacy, the beauty of the location and accommodation, the space, the comfort… hard to express how lovely it here. I can’t wait for my next stay ✨💫 Everything was wonderful. No negatives at all.
- Caroline (10/5): Exceptional - What a beautiful luxurious hut! It was quality! Loved the copper bath and the cosy, comfortable bed. The hospitality tray and added extras (dressing gown, slippers, were a real treat as was the private garden. I enjoyed building a fire and star gazing with my glass of fizz! What can I say, wonderful! I didn't want to leave!
Thank you Sarah. Although the area is stunning, I gave a 9 on the location because of it being close to a small road and a bit of traffic noise when in garden.
A barking dog on a nearby farm.
- Linda (10/5): Anniversary treat! - On arrival we were greeted by our lovely host, Sarah, (with whom we had excellent communication with). Our privacy was very much respected throughout our stay. The whole experience felt special. The accommodation itself and it's surroundings are beautiful! Everything, from the furnishings, the fittings and electrical equipment was of a high standard. Extra little touches and treats were so thoughtful and greatly appreciated! Also, fabulous coffee provided from the family coffee company (on site).
We left feeling very satisfied with our three night stay, thank you! This is in no way a complaint..
We couldn't remove a stain from the wooden bench from a cold pan we unwittingly placed on the bench when washing up (possible soot mark from the gas ring). Sarah was informed and reassured us not to worry and she would sort it. (Just to make guests aware, use the mat in cupboard under sink and also the trivet provided).
- Cian (10/5): Looking forward to another stay in the future - Beautiful accommodation in a great setting. The accommodation is private within a walled garden. Lovely outdoor seating areas.
- Chris (10/5): I would definitely recommend staying at the Garden rooms - Everything associated with this stay was perfect!
Wonderful location, facilities, privacy and most importantly the hosts, Sarah and Liam (Scott) couldn’t have been any more accommodating. We has a wonderful time at the Garden rooms and can’t thank our hosts enough Nothing it was perfect
- Sarah (10/5): The most relaxing, wonderful, peaceful place. Fantastic hosts - The location is spectacular- quiet, beautiful views and a starlit sky to discover. Bigger inside the hut than the photos would have you believe. Every single part of this hut has been so well thought out. Private garden to yourself, you don’t feel “looked upon” in any direction. Own fire pit … I could go on. Every detail is luxurious. I just wish I could keep it a secret, because it will get booked quickly, it’s just so beautiful
- James (10/5): Exceptional - Setting was beautiful and peaceful. Secluded with your own private gardens.
