We fell in love with the shepherd’s hut just looking at the pictures. The reality was so much more! It was a 5\* experience! Spotlessly clean, comfy bed, amazing views, very private and secluded, cooking wise everything you may need, big bathroom and a powerful shower. Games, wonderfully smelling fresh towels, beautiful grounds, not to mention fresh milk, butter, croissants, yoghurts. Stephen greeted us upon arrival and he was the most accommodating and discreet host I have ever met in my life (and I did work in a 5\* hotel industry). Stephen, Lizzie, we would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the unforgettable experience and for your hospitality. We will most definitely be back. Thank you. ##### Monika Z.

The weather was very wet and it rained for most of our time here however Steve being the loveliest host offered to drive and pick us up from our dinner reservations so we were both able to have a couple of drinks. This was above and beyond what we ever expected. The hut is exactly as described and what you see in the pics is exactly what you get, it’s beautiful, quiet, private and set in lovely gardens. We did manage to enjoy the fire pit in the evenings which was very relaxing and was just want we were looking for from our short beak away. We would just like to thank Steve yet again for his hospitality and kindness. We will be returning again next year. ##### Sarah W.
