We cannot say thank you enough for a beautiful stay. Emma was friendly and helpful, plus decorated the hut for us in celebration of us getting married 2 days before! Beautiful scenic hut. Great instructions to find and a short drive to some stunning towns. Hot tub was perfect even in December, well equipped hut with everything you need for a short stay. Thank you again!

Had a really lovely stay in the Shepard's hut. The place was very clean and tidy upon arrival, and the electric radiators were great for the cold nights. The kitchenette had enough utensils and crockery for some simpler meals and the hot tub was lovely after a day of walking! All in all, a brilliant stay in a lovely peaceful location and great value for money. Would definitely recommend and will be visiting in the future again I am sure!
