Inside, The Shepherd's Shed offers high quality self catering accommodation in a rather unique and quirky way. An open plan space oozes plenty of character and charm throughout.

Outside, there is a separate purpose built fitted shower room. Behind the shed, guests will discover a separate covered sink and a gas BBQ, a great space for preparing meals outside. There is also an outdoor seating area covered by awning. And finally, the real added luxury for couples looking for a relaxing getaway is the wood fired hot tub. Guests have exclusive use, and can enjoy the spectacular views, sunsets or starlit skies. Onsite, the guests are welcome to use the communal games room (please note: Covid rules will apply).

It made our first trip without our kids feel very special! The location is sublime with gorgeous views and we will long remember sitting in the hot tub, at sunset, in the rain - pure bliss. ##### p t.

It rained most of the weekend so we didn’t get to use the facilities as much as we wanted sadly. Thanks for a lovely stay 👍 ##### Jane L.

The Shepherds Shed itself was beautiful, very clean and had everything you could need for your stay. The Outdoor area was spot on too, the large gazebo with zip up sides was great, really kept the wind at bay and kept you warmer, the log burner was great, and the gas BBQ also excellent. The wood fired hot tub was so relaxing to sit in on an evening with a glass of wine or few, and the sound of the silence almost deafening apart from the odd toot from a distant owl. The view also was to die for, nothing better than to sit with a coffee in the warm morning sun just staring at natural beauty. Shawn and Kath were also great hosts and very friendly and helpful. We would happily stay here again and happily recommend it to anyone. ##### James W.

Super clean and very well equipped. Hot tub was phenomenal so warm and relaxing. Hosts were so welcoming on arrival. Shawn showed husband around and gave info on how things work. We barely left the site because it was everything we needed peace rest and relaxation. 100% recommend to anyone wanting a dreamy getaway. Thankyou so much ##### Leanne s.
