    It would have been useful to have a fuller guide to the combi-microwave. I found all the controls rather confusing.

    Everything we needed was supplied. Quiet location: lovely to open the door and look out over the fields. Comfortable bed. Dedicated space to park the car. Useful information sheets. Not a criticism, but a thought: perhaps an EV charger could be fitted to the side of the carport.

    Nothing for us. Would be snug in cold/ bad weather but still good value as long as you have realistic expectations of what a sheperd hut does (and does not) offer.

    Clean, tidy & well equiped Exactly what we expected from the description and photos. Easy contactless access with info from email prior to visit. Compact but had everything we needed. Nice to be able to sit outside and enjoy the sunset. Quiet spot at end of gravel drive with fields and trees opposite. Close footpath giving access to nearby village and easy walk back along road if you'd prefer it.

    It would be difficult to share with my husband as he would have taken up all the room so I didn’t bring him! Liked everything

    I had to be in the neighbourhood for a funeral so I chose this as a little delight rather than just a sensible option. Perfect for me. Delightful style. Everything I needed

    Only one thing would be a sun shade our umbrella for the outside area - it was very hot when I stayed and bit of a sun trap

    Good location 15 min from a nice pub - very quiet at night - everything supplied like fresh milk and coffee grounds with cafetière etc - comfy bed

    Only thing I would say it’s because of the extreme heat it was very hot in the hut so a fan would have been perfect.

    Very clean and tidy, instructions were good and lovely shower , perfect for our night away

    The situation of the hut wasn’t for us the other side of the fence was the track leading to the main house.When Tesco delivery came they had to reverse asking us to move our car.It was a good job we weren’t out for a walk.

    The shepherds hut was lovely ,bed very comfortable.

    Plates and bowls were chipped on the edges, maybe a rubber liner in the sink would prevent this in the future?

    Very easy to find, parking right next to the hut, lovely views over the fields, very quiet. Fabulously comfortable bed, hot and powerful shower. Local pub in one direction and amazing cafe serving the best breakfast in the other - perfect!

    We loved staying here. The interior is compact but beautifully designed. The setting is gorgeous, the bed is comfortable, and the shower is amazing. We’ve stayed in expensive hotels where the shower has been nothing compared to this! The food at the local pub was great; tip - if you’re walking, go across the field to the left of the property which brings you to the high street in 5-7 minutes. Overall a lovely and memorable experience.

    Fortunately, we had excellent weather, but we would have struggled if we had wet shoes and coats to deal with.

    A lovely setting and the hut was really cosy.

    The only downside was a little bit of noise from I think the boiler at night, otherwise nothing negative to say.

    Very cute, excellent location! Had dinner and a glass of wine at the outdoor table provided outside the hut overlooking a stunning sunset. Lots of beautiful paths for hikes and walks from the hut, loved it!

    Perfect stay! we live locally, 30 mins down the road but needed to escape home life for a weekend and reset and this stay did exactly that for us! It was so comfortable and cosy! The crown in marnhull was a short walk away, through a field just beside the hut! The views were lovely!

    My friend and I were looking for a cozy night away in the countryside for a much needed girly catch up, and that is exactly what we got! Lovely hut, with a very cozy bed, and outside seating to soak up the evening sun. Only a short walk away from the local pub which serves decent food. Would definitely come back again!
