Perfect location for a peaceful holiday . The surrounding garden is a haven for wildlife ( butterflies and birds ) . Great to see the stars and a full moon passing across the moor . Jane and Geoff were very helpful , setting up my phone to use on WiFi and the use of a freezer for my dogs raw diet . My wife enjoyed an afternoon nap on the day bed , Read morea great addition . My spaniel enjoyed the walks along the numerous footpaths in the area . A very pleasing week away , ideal for those looking for something different , a shepherds hut as home . Hide

Everything has been carefully thought about so as to maximise the space and comfort of the hut. Arrival bread and apples were a lovely surprise. The glass panel above the bed offers a lovely opportunity to lie in comfort beneath the stars. Definitely somewhere I want and will return to.

Beautiful shepherd's hut and location. Attention to detail inside was amazing. The welcome pack and additional items provided was the best we've had. There was also a welcome pack for our dog which was a lovely touch.
