Shepherd’s delight

The property was well equipped considering it's location and size. So comfortable and cozy for people who just wanted to unwind, be off the grid and reconnect with nature.

Please consider having a hairdryer for guests and some kitchen towels and foil to use the oven and a container where to put items for recycling. Thanks.

What a hidden gem of a property, the hut had everything you could wish for. Set in a beautiful location, everything was perfect. The hosts were very welcoming. We highly recommend, and would love to revisit during another season to see how the landscape changes.

The hut is so well equipped with thoughtful touches from the owners such as milk, tea, coffee, sugar, beers etc. It's beautifully decorated with fantastic 70's touches here and there and the location is beautiful and so peaceful with stunning walks on the doorstep and many wonderful places to visit in the surrounding area. We particularly loved Tintern Abbey (walkable if you are feeling energetic), Puzzelwood and Chepstow. We also walked from Symonds Yat East to Symonds Yat rock via a suspension bridge across the Wye which is an absolute must-do! We didn't eat out at all so were fully self-catering. The hut is so well equipped for this, I found the hob a bit temperamental but that was probably just user error (there are instructions but I didn't read them). The area is well covered for supermarkets, there's a Lidl just outside Monmouth (about 10 minutes drive) and a Tesco and M&S in Chepstow (about 15 minute drive). The local Abbey Mill shop is also well stocked with local meats and some frozen goods - the hut has a small freezer box in the fridge. There is no TV but the hosts have provided a laptop and DVD's and there are plenty of books and a board game. To be honest, it's enough to sit outside with the fairy lights on, listening to the owls hooting! There is a fire pit, but we didn't use it and due to the fact that we stayed during the heatwave, we didn't need the wood burner in the hut either! Overall we loved our stay and will definitely be returning.

Nothing.

Beautiful hut in lovely country side . Quiet, peaceful and very relaxing. Everything you needed was supplied, even down to a well stocked herb and spice rack.The space was very well laid out with full size oven and fridge !!!!. Well worth every penny.

We arrived when it was getting dark and missed turning into premises. Maybe a slightly more prominent or luminated signpost would be good.

Tiny but well equipped and very comfortable. Firepit and outdoor area was lovely and if it had rained the woodburner inside would have been really cosy

To be fair there was nothing we didn't like but it is quite a walk into the village so ideal if you want peace and quiet as we did but you might need to drive to eat or drink out

Everything perfect location

Nothing to dislike

Lovely cosy shepherd's hut, bed was sooo comfy and im definitely going to buy the feather pillows, there was everything you needed, and loved being secluded and it was so peaceful, will be going back 😊

Very cosy, private space in a stunning location. Easy check-in, great location. Never stayed in such a well-equipped place for that amount of time. Wonderful!!

Shepherds Delight is an amazing, well designed shepherds hut in beautiful surroundings with everything needed to make your stay perfect. The location is great for breathtaking walks and not too far to walk for Tintern Abbey. A gorgeous log burner is perfect for those chilly evenings with plenty of wood, or there's an outdoor firepit for those long summer evenings.

That we didn't stay longer
