Set among the mature woodlands of a grand country mansion, this unique handcrafted double shepherd’s hut offers an idyllic retreat for nature lovers and those seeking tranquillity. Perfectly positioned on the edge of the picturesque town of Moffat, it’s a wonderful choice for couples or small families wanting to combine relaxation with outdoor adventure.

It was easy to find due to owners directions.it was clean tidy and warm. It was a nice touch that there was tea,coffee,milk and sugar supplied just what we needed when we arrived and not forgetting the dog treats. As we were there celebrating our wedding anniversary the owners kindly gifted us a bottle of bubbly which went down well

Lovely property and a lovely setting. The outlook and gardens were beautiful. Felt like a home from home. Only a 20 minute walk into Moffat which had great dog friendly cafes, shops and bars and plenty of walking options with easier and harder routes right from Moffat. Suzanne and Louise were fantastic hosts and very engaging. They have all done a Read morefantastic job renovating the main house and our cabin had everything you would need. We will definitely be returning and recommend to others. Hide
