We thoroughly enjoyed our break at The Shepherd’s Rest. The location is peaceful and is great for watching the birds. The hut is well equipped, making great use of the space it has everything you need and is finished to a high standard. The owners Jennifer and Howard are friendly and helpful without being intrusive. We would definitely love to return!
