The only thing that bothered me a little bit was the cleanliness of the place that was not perfect; there was an old earplug beside the bed on the wooden frame and still some toothpaste on the glasses in the bathroom. But apart from that, everything was perfect

We were looking for a last minute booking for the isle of Arran and stumbled upon The Best Moments Start Here. The hut was very cozy and cute, the owner, John, came to greet us and was very welcoming, unfortunately it was raining a lot but the hut was perfect to snuggle and have some peace.

The smell of damp.

The quiet surroundings and privacy. Owners very nice and left you to it.

What i didn’t like was that i had to pay 100£ for a hot tub that was supposed to be ready at arrival, but i had to heat it myself for another 2 1/2 hour before we could use it . The guy taking care of this needed to go and said simple you can do that yourself not ??? Sorry for 100£ i shouldn’t have to do anything but enjoy the tub…

What i liked the most was the way the wagon/hut was neatly decorated and useful. Loads of space and good hygiene

The surcharge for the hot tub was steep

Quirky and cute

Stayed in April 2025

It was a little smaller than expected so not sure it's quite worth how much it was, but would still recommend.

Was beautiful and would have really enjoyed the lovely outdoor area but unfortunately the weather wasn't good enough! It was very clean and cute with nice touches like tea, hot chocolate and some breakfast bits!

The only thing we would change is we could smell cats in the property which my partner is allergic too so we were worried he may of took a reaction but other than that it was a really lovely stay.

The host was lovely and had set the heater up so was lovely and toasty for us arriving as we were on the last boat over. The cabin has everything you need for a short stay and a lovely view / sound being next to the river.

Really well equipped shepherd's hut and dog friendly. Had everything we needed. An option of a hot tub for an extra if wanted. Right near the start of a nice walk into Glen Sannox. Clean, cosy, great value

Great little spot with everything you could.. need.

Lovely complimentary breakfast provided. Lots of extras we didn’t expect like BBQ and fire pit. Cosy cabin which was spacious and well appointed

The use of the hot tub would have been nice but the £100 extra was too much for me.

Well kitted out, very comfortable. Easy to find and good communication from hosts. Informed beforehand about no TV or reliable Internet connection - this was fine with me.

Such a beautiful little hideaway with a secluded stream. Perfect for an early morning dip!

This is one of the more secure dog friendly holiday rentals I've been to. Mostly fenced and any unfenced parts separated from road by burn and quite steep embankment on roadside. Loved disconnecting from Internet and TV for a couple of days and the proximity to Glen Sannox and path to Sannox Bay right across the road. Cabin was well equipped and would have loved to make better use of the great decking area with BBQ, fire pit and hot tub (all without worrying about the dog wandering off!) however midges and weather got the better of us at times. Hope to return!

Lovely quiet location, very pleasant to sit outdoors.

Nothing, it’s perfect!

This property is stunning. The hut is small but so cleverly laid out and fully equipped. It sits in its own enclosed garden with a barbecue, fire pit and outdoor seating, as well as an amazing, wood-fired hot tub, complete with ambient lighting. We were blessed with the weather and ate breakfast and dinner outdoors with the soothing sound of the river running by. Bed was comfortable and shower was great too. The provision of milk, bread and breakfast goods was also a kind and thoughtful touch, as well as the array of hot drinks, which even included mini mallows for hot chocolate! This will be the start of many more visits for us.

Style and location plus facilities

Really nice Shepherds hut with lots of amenities and a fabulous decking, spa pool and river bank. Fantastic

Stayed in May 2024

Nowhere to sit apart from hard dining chairs no WiFi or data coverage very small and shower was cold

Hot tub but had to pay extra

Stayed in December 2023

Didn’t realise hot tub was extra, and only could use it 1 night as we were out all day walking on the Saturday and fire went out. Very disappointing. Could possibly have done with the staff maintaining the fire.

Beautiful cabin, lovely surroundings

Stayed in November 2023

Nothing, really. We had stayed in a shepherd's hut before, so knew what to expect.

Great location by the burn, cleverly fitted-out cabin, with good quality if necessarily limited kichen kit.

Stayed in October 2023

No comfy seating, no WiFi, no TV , we had no mobile signal either so very cut off. Hosts were away on holiday so didn't have anyone onsite , had a power cut due to bad weather. Supposed to have a continental breakfast but all we had were 20 baby bell cheeses and a tub of barbecue sauce in fridge with milk. Othwr guests got bread and jam ?There was a box of porridge. Hot tub was £100 a night but after discussion wirh hosts they did concede to charge £100 for 5 night stay but why is it not electric , couldn't be bothered to light a fire to keep it hot so we missed out on that. Outdoor space is nice but in bad weather there is no top canopy to keep you dry so we felt a bit hemmed in a small space as it rained solid for 2 days. Hosts could supply kindling to help light the huge logs for fire pit, even at annextra cost. They did supply an extra bag for barbecue at no cost whjch was nice. Have stayed at luxury pods with a hot tub and they only charged £20 a night for 2 people. And had a TV for those dark wet nights. They did have a jigsaw but kitchen table was a bit small for this. Bathroom sink mirror could be a bit smaller and higher to allow room for head when brushing teeth .But overall it was a nice hut for peace and quiet.

Very clean. Bed comfy , nice location by a burn, our dog loved it. for a hut it was quite big. Nice to have a Shower whjch was hot. Outside space would have been great if it hadn't been raining.
