An amazing spot so tranquil. We were extremely lucky with the weather apart from it being too hot and having to sit around the back of the hut in the shade from mid morning but then spent our evenings sat outside the summer house by the pond watching swallows swooping, barn martins flying and a visit from a heron. Our dog thought she was in 7th Read moreheaven. Cannot be faulted. Hide

The shepherds hut (Florence) was absolutely perfect, thoughtfully designed and equipped to a high standard. All 3 of the huts on the site have been placed with total privacy in mind so you don't overlook neighbours in a very tranquil rural location. The lovely owners are always available but not intrusive.

The Shepherds hut is so beautifully decorated. The shower is brilliant. Its spacious and had good power as well as hot water. The bedding is very comfortable as is the bed. A little piece of paradise, right in the middle of the farm field.
