We had a brilliant stay at the Shepherds hut. It was the relaxing break we needed, the sheep were adorable and the hut itself was perfect! The hosts were amazing and we even got to have a walk around the farm. We will definitely be returning :)
Chloe
Absolutely loved our weekend stay here! It is so cozy and situated in a lovely peaceful and private area. The views of the sheep and the cows was lovely to wake up to in the mornings and while we were in the hot tub. We are looking forward to returning in the future!
