Nice walks ,

The hut was nice and had what you needed for the night/ bed was comfortable and clean / something at the windows would be nice as there was know privacy from people walking past , we had a couple of tents opposite so there wasn't really a woodland view as I was expecting, Overall it was fine but not as relaxing and secluded as i thought it would ve from the photos , 0

I loved the place snd will probably return despite a few small inconveniences. Amazing location

9.0

The location, the simplicity, the sound of the birds. It was warm despite a cold night. Bed was comfortable

I didn’t know in advance of the charge for sauna. Fortunately I saw the charge for towels. No coffee for the cafetière (only coffee maker) was a surprise which spoilt the morning s bit - a note on these in the introductory email would have been helpful.

Clean, great facilities, quiet and perfect location for a relaxing break away

10.0

A really lovely quaint little place to stay, perfect for a quite break away. The steps are very steep though so be careful.

The only thing I’d suggest is putting a splash back by the hob area just to protect the shepherds hut itself.

The peace and quiet , and the sauna were very welcome. The hut was well equipped and cosy.

We felt it was overpriced for a basic night's accommodation. Despite heating in the hut, we were cold at night, so extra blankets would have been a thoughtful touch.
