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.

We had a fabulous break in the Shepherds hut. Very well equipped. Loved the hot tub and fire pit. Great countryside location. Welcome treats were a surprise bonus. Highly recommend.

A beautifully appointed shepherds hut with everything you need on holiday. The hot tub was lovely with views over the fields. It is not the easiest place to find but Iain’s instructions were perfect. We would definitely recommend it and go again.
