Guests have had a delightful experience at Ponsford Ponds Jacks Shepherd Hut, praising its spaciousness, cosy atmosphere, and comfortable bedding. The hot tub is a highlight, contributing to the relaxing ambiance. The presence of friendly farm animals adds charm, and the location offers privacy and tranquility. Some minor suggestions for improvement include better clarity on hot tub operation and provision of basic consumables upon arrival.
Cleanliness is generally well-regarded, with guests finding the accommodation clean. However, one review mentioned that attention to detail could be improved, suggesting room for minor enhancements.
The location is appreciated for its privacy, peacefulness, and handy access to Devon. It is described as secluded with beautiful surroundings, although one review noted the town is quiet with not much going on.
Comfort is consistently highlighted, with guests enjoying the cosy setup, super comfy bed, and warm atmosphere. The recliner sofa and feathered duvet and pillows add to the overall comfort.
Facilities are generally praised, including the hot tub, shower, and kitchen amenities. However, there were comments about the lack of clarity on hot tub operation and incorrect information provided by the management, indicating some room for improvement in maintenance and communication.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the host, so it is not possible to assess this category accurately. Therefore, the score is set to null.

We stayed in this Shepherds Hut over the weekend and had such a lovely time. The weather wasnt the best, but there was still plenty to do, and the lakes were really easy to get to whenever we wanted to explore. The hut itself was surprisingly spacious, with a cosy kitchen/living room setup that made it feel really welcoming. The bed was super comfy, and the bedding was absolutely lovely. We were also greeted by the sweetest farm dog, along with some very curious chickens, which added so much charm to the stay. The hot tub was a great touch and so relaxing, although it wasnt completely clear how to turn it off. The only other small thing was that there wasnt any tea, coffee, or sugar provided, which wouldve been handy on arrival. Overall, it was a really lovely stay, and wed happily return!
