REALLY luxurious pair of shepherd's huts, overlooking our alpacas!
"Cute and a bit of a novelty, though lack of floor space means suitcases are a nuisance. There is plenty of drawer space under the bed if you want to unpack your stuff. The bathroom hut is lovely inside but the novelty of going from the living hut to the bathroom hut wears off fairly quickly. The charcoal fire/bbq was unusable. The owners were very friendly and it is a beautiful property."

"A great, well maintained cottage but the real highlight was the massive, private garden. Perfect for a picnic and prosecco in the evening. Would definitely stay here again, the welcome book was also incredibly comprehensive - much to do in the surrounding area!"

"The property was perfect, it had everything we needed for our stay, and the bed was so comfy, had the best nights sleep. It is situated in an amazing part of the country and the accommodation itself in beautiful gardens. Our host was able to give great suggestions for places to visit. Can't recommend the property more highly."
