    The shepherds hut was bright and airy, and surprisingly spacious which made it perfect for a 2 night stay. The hut came equipped with all the necessary amenities & more, meaning we had everything we needed from tea and coffee to washing up liquid...

    Everything. Location, bed, comfort, proximity to town for our event, cleanliness, everything worked ok and we slept like babies. We were awakened by the sound of songbirds every morning in a quiet and idillic setting. Perfect for a 2-3 night getaway.
