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.

A fantastic place to stay, with a warm welcome from the hosts and a cosy yet spacious stay in the Shepherd's Hut. The owners have thought of everything, from the utensils in the kitchen drawer to the outside seating. Would highly recommend staying here.
