The shepherds hut was absolutely amazing. I cannot fault the accommodation in any way. It was beautiful and clean with a large comfortable bed and a well stocked kitchen area. And in a wonderful, quiet setting next to a bridle path meaning lots of lovely walks to the coast. The setting was rich in birds and wildlife, including red squirrels making Read moreappearances daily. The hosts were excellent and very welcoming and friendly. They had lots of lovely suggestions for places to visit and for the best cheese on the island! Hide

Such a relaxing stay in this immaculate shepherd's hut, it really has everything you could need. Rachel and Ollie were fantastic hosts even offering to come and collect us when we got lost on a walk. The hut is so quiet and we even spotted the red squirrel. We can't wait to return.

A wonderfully secluded spot located on the Bembridge Trail, but within a short distance of local amenities. The Willow Shepherds Hut was more than a place to lay your head, it was much more than that.
