Perfect for a quick getaway when you need a re-charge. Tranquility in spades! Beautiful setting and just a quick drive into Ludlow. Everything you need in a small space which was tastefully done. Bed was comfy, you just need to negotiate who does the clambering over a sleeping partner in the night! The welcome hamper was great, we enjoyed our weekeRead morend in the shepherds hut very much.

We had never stayed in a shepherds hut or anything like it before and we loved it. It gave us all the elements of camping without any of the discomforts. The location was in a rural idyll and in beautiful Shropshire which we love but had always stayed in a hotel before. We were amazed how everything could be fitted into such a small space without aRead morenything lacking. Our dog particularly enjoyed watching the sheep and donkeys behind the fence which really added to the rural feel of the location Hide

The Shepherd Hut was super cozy while hiding from a storm outside. It had everything we needed for a relaxing trip including treats for us and the dog. It is an easy walk into Ludlow so you don't have to go everywhere in the car.

After the four hours of driving, I thought I would just have a quick nap and ended up for the next four hours flat out, before starting on the 'goodies' thougRead morehtfully provided. My only concern whilst at the hut was an example of a draught from the windows. I still have to master the wood burner next ! Hide
