    “From the moment we arrived we were wowed with how fanatic this Shepard’s hut was, attention to detail was brilliant from the build quality and way the owner furnished it as well.”

    The addition of the little fire made the hut feel very homely in a wintry outside environment. Despite it being windy and raining outside the hut was quiet and felt solid. We visited the local pub the masons arms and what a little gem that was the staff were fantastic specially Rory he engaged with us and our son and made us feel like friends/ locals. The owner provided plenty of details and recommendations for what we wanted from our holiday. Would highly recommend and we will definitely ...
