Extremely happy with the Shepard Hut.If your looking for a quiet retreat to relax and wind down this is an excellent choice and location, off the beaten track and isolated, but close enough to local shops and amenities if required.We spend 3 x days here and loved the peace and tranquil setting, the hut had all you would need for cooking facilities and is snug and adequate facilities in cooking and shower/bathroom etc.Me and wife loved our stay, would definitely return and recommend if your looking for a private retreat .

Such a beautiful area, close to the beach and gorgeous fields all around. It was spotlessly clean and so welcoming, feels very private and would definitely stay again.
