We have really enjoyed our previous two visits to the Shepherds Retreat and our third visit was equally spectacular. We arrived during a storm but the accommodation was cozy and we didn’t feel exposed to the elements. I say we were lucky, because we had a beautiful walk on the beach and a couple of excellent walks in the New Forest and the weather was perfect for all of our activities.

If I was to be hyper critical, and this is in no way a deal breaker, a power point or 2 with easy access in the bedroom would be a welcome addition. Don't be put off though, we would highly recommend this property to anyone, superb place. ##### Alan J.

Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 5 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peaceful retreat We thoroughly enjoyed our 2-night stay at the Shepherd's Retreat. It's in a very green and quiet location, set back off a country road that seems to have little traffic - we never noticed any traffic noise. Our cottage overlooked a small green space with a wild area and apple trees. Farmland over on one side, and on the other side (separated by a thick hedge) was the village sports field. The sports field is a large green space and was ideal for taking our dog for a good walk. We met a lot of friendly dogs (and owners) there. From the cottage we could occasionally hear the gentle thwack of cricket being played and the muffled sounds of boys playing football, but these added to the sense of tranquility. The cottage itself is cosy and comfortable. There is a small kitchen area reasonably well equipped (including an unexpected coffee machine, which we appreciated). We had decided to eat out during our stay, so we only used it for making breakfast. There's little working space, so you'd have to be very organised to use it for any substantial cooking. Two comfortable leather chairs face a wood-burning stove that puts out a tremendous heat. The bed was very comfortable and we slept really well. There's a small bathroom wth a good shower. Wifi was included, although the signal was weak in the bedroom. I don't think either of us have anything negative to say about our stay here and we would happily return. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Edward and Vivien J. 25 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### All consideration to privacy and quiet.

Heather and Denis have thought of everything, and the place is warm, cosy, comfortable - and doesn't feel cramped despite being tiny! The decor is really lovely, feeling quite opulent, and we find the bed very comfortable, the shower nice and hot with good water pressure. And it's just so peaceful there - such a haven from our busy lives. Within 10 minutes from the hut we are in the heart of the New Forest, or only 25 minutes from spectacular beaches. This was our second trip here, and we'll absolutely be back. ##### Phil B.
