Excellent hut in super location. Well equipped & laid out. Comfortable with essentials plus fridge and hob to cook on. Little cosy with the dog and all our clothes etc but space under bed & you can get creative with the space. Lovely garden, safe for the dog to roam & explore in his own. Host helpful especially as road was closed following storm damage. Lovely extras provided on arrival. Cosy stay, would definitely recommend.

A fabulous place to stay with everything you could need for a getaway in the gorgeous Cornish landscape. Perfectly located to explore all that Cornwall has to offer, the shepherd’s hut is very clean and comfortable, with great kitchen facilities and spacious en-suite bathroom. Outside of the hut, the fully enclosed garden is beautifully maintained and perfect to allow your dog (if you have one!) to roam about safely, and a lovely private place to sit and relax. The hosts are brilliant, available if you require any assistance and provided a lovely welcome pack on arrival.
