Tent
The New Chaffinch and Goldfinch Safari Tents are almost identical to their predecessors – except they’re stronger, better equipped and even more spacious. In the living area, there’s an eight-seater dining table and chairs, comfortable sofa and lounge chairs, and a wood-burning stove. The kitchen contains a fridge, integrated two-stove hob, sink, cooking equipment, crockery, and cutlery. Bathroom facilities include an electric shower, bathroom sink, and flush toilet. All rooms have electric lighting. With a double bed in the master bedroom, twin single beds in the second bedroom, a double cabin bed, and a sofa bed in the living area, each safari tent sleeps up to eight people. Our Chaffinch and Goldfinch Safari Tents are top-of-the-range glamping units, but we know that our guests love to be outdoors. For alfresco dining, each of the safari lodges has a firepit-cum-barbecue and a private picnic table. There’s lots of space for children to play (we provide an exciting selection of outdoor toys!) as adults relax around a glowing fire and watch stars appearing in the darkening sky. Dogs are welcome

- Natalie (9/5): Beautiful hut with all the accessories. Nice little touch with the cupcakes , eggs and milk. - Set in the countryside which was very tranquil, just a short taxi ride into beccles which was perfect. There were alot of flys , however this isn’t a moan.
- Bryan (9/5): Superb -
- Jennifer (9/5): Superb - Comfy little hut and a quiet and relaxing spot to stay
- Nicolas (10/5): Exceptional -
- Eve (8/5): Lovely, welcoming, inspiring (could we do the same.....?) and perfect for a break in the summer. - Location was fab, but we only spent one night and arrived in the dark because of traffic and poor planning, so we didn't get to appreciate the experience. We didn't meet the team, but our communication with them over the booking.com app and phone was easy. If better weather could have been ordered, that would have been amazing....I can only imagine how lovely the space is on a warm sunny day / evening. It was tough in the dark and rain as the space is beautifully appointed, but very small for four people and a dog inside.
- Ashton (7/5): Good - The welcome cupcakes were a lovely touch.
- Katie (8/5): Very good -
- janine (10/5): - Excellent stay in wonderful shephards hut cosy and warm very relaxing getaway Thanks so much

- David (10/5): Comfy - Perfect little comfortable cabin. Love the patter of the rain on the roof.
- Flora (10/5): Such a lovely place to stay, ee will go back for sure - Such a lovely and praceful place to stay and its just amazing to wake up to hear chickens snd sheep rather than car noises. Kids loved saying good morning to all animals. Also there were some toys for kids to play outside which is a big bonus. Owners Helen and Bob are the best, they accomodated our request very quickly and they are so easy to communicate with
- Becky (10/5): Fabulous countryside get away - The shepherds hut was perfectly located & equipped. Everything we needed for a weekend in the countryside. The animals and outdoor toys on site were perfect entertainment for our son, who thoroughly enjoying spending time roaming around the grassy area. We would love to come back one day!
- Hannah (9/5): Peaceful and comfortable - I loved my stay. Very relaxing, comfortable with attention to detail. The animals made it a nice experience. Not that I didn’t like anything but I think a small piece of butter would be a good idea with the eggs and milk you leave for guests.
- Joanne (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful sanctuary for a well needed brief escape!
- Lucy (10/5): A wonderful place to stay inside and out! - We had the most wonderful stay in the South Down Shepherd’s hut. We came as a a family of 2 adults and 2 young children. It was the perfect quiet place for us to stay. On arrival we were greeted with the most beautiful and well considered hut. It has everything you need and more in a small space that is extremely well designed so that it feels spacious and luxurious, the decor is beautiful. A lovely touch was the cupcakes, eggs and milk on arrival. The grounds were brilliant, our two young children loved the animals and it was great to be in a safe enclosed environment where they could explore freely. We woke up early to go and say good morning to the pigs and were lucky to collect some fresh eggs. The children loved playing with the wide range of outdoor games and using the bbq to cook dinner. A wonderful space inside and out for us to enjoy a wonderful relaxing as a family. We wished we could have stayed longer.

Lovely to be able to have a cup of tea without going to the shops to buy things first. Very cozy and comfy bed. Good shower. Nothing we didn’t like. It was a great stay. Perhaps it would have been useful to have a note in the welcome book for instructions about the appliances?

- Georgia (10/5): Fantastic facilities, amazing owners who go above and beyond to ensure comfort! - Gorgeous scenery and fantastic facilities. You have everything you need within the Sheperds Huts with a huge inventory of cutlery and cookware. The owners are absolutely fantastic and were great when our (insulated!) pipes froze due to the exceptionally cold weather, going above and beyond to ensure they thawed out as soon as possible and we were still comfortable with extra water. This was our second time staying and we would 100% come back and stay for a third!

- Maxine (9/5): Beautiful scenery, great stay. Want to go back. - Great location, beautiful views, loved the hot tub, friendly, got more for gaming than expected. My partner likes a hard bed. I like a soft bed. He loved the bed. I wasn't so keen but still slept well. Lots of flies as its a farm but not a huge issue.
- White (10/5): Would definitely visit again! - We adored it all, it was such a wonderful experience and we can't wait to return
- Geoff (10/5): brilliant & relaxing - just so quiet when we were there , even the animals didnt bother us , in fact it was lovely too hear them !

They provided tea, coffee, sugar, milk, eggs and lovely homemade cupcakes. There was also washing up liquid, dish cloths, tea towels, bathroom towels, bin bags and more. The hut was very warm despite the chilly March night and wet & windy morning. Will be back when the weather is better hopefully with more family members. We stayed with our dog and the cleanliness was amazing for pet friendly accommodation.
- Alex (10/5): Little Gem! - Beautiful quiet location, owner was very welcoming and helpful! Will definitely go back.
- Lynda (10/5): What a gem of a find !!!! - Fantastic peaceful break - Shepherd Hut was immaculate and so well equipped and cosy - Helen and Bob were great hosts - lovely touches - homemade cake and a breakfast basket that we booked but best surprise was when the cooked breakfast was delivered !!!

- David (10/5): - We had a great weekend break in the Shepherds Hut managing walks in the south, north and west of the country - despite the bitterly cold strong east wind and light covering of snow. Excellent location and very peaceful and welcoming site.
- James (10/5): Get away from it all - Its quirky accommodation to get away from it all and get back to basics. The facilities are small but not cramped, the finishing touches put a smile on your face and the service is welcoming from the outset. Would recommend, and will look to return in the future.
