Very nice as always. Minor defects already pointed out to owner. Such a special place that it should stay a closely guarded secret. Good that this property now allows dogs after our previous visits when it didn't. So tranquil one can stay on site and still enjoy it; al fresco dining, bats, geese, horses, variety of birds.

Idyllic and peaceful location with views over a wildflower hay meadow (in May) to woodland beyond, and the shepherd's hut was so warm and cosy that I think even in winter it would have been a great place to spend time. We spotted buzzards, kite and bats, and heard owls hooting at night. We explored the local area on foot and it really is a beautifuRead morel setting, with many walks straight from the door. Also a short drive to some bigger hills, where the views were just stunning. We had some great days out walking, along with evenings around the fire pit. The nearby Three Horseshoes pub serves a great Sunday roast, and it's only a short walk to the Canalside Cafe in the village, which does strong coffee, homemade cakes, breakfasts, lunches, and curries to eat in or take away, as well as being a shop and post office. A real asset in a lovely village. Hide

We stayed for a week and really enjoyed our stay. A lovely shepherd's hut in a peaceful location, close to local amenities. Car parking is on site. The hut is very comfortable. Plenty of walks from the door step and a bus stop at the end of the road. Host was very welcoming and helpful.
