Cara
I had a wonderful time at the cabin, the weather was beautiful. Comfy bed, essential ammeneties were all present. The best bit was the hot tub, it was great to sit in it and look up at the incredible amount of stars. Thanks for having me!
Nelly
Love the hot tub ( just need to follow instructions how to start and get it going) and the fire pit. My partner patiently and lovingly sort both of them for us, and it both went really well. The cottage was clean and cozy and enough amenities needed for a comfortable weekend stay.
Laura
A beautiful Shepard's hut which was well laid out and used space effectively. Everything was very tidy and clean and the hut itself was lovely. Bathroom facilities were good, shower was very spacious. The outdoor hot tub was lovely, the wood was well stocked and we used it almost every night. The outdoor area is massive and very well kept. There isRead more very limited signal and no WiFi- which wasnt an issue for us and it was stated before arrival anyway. Overall, it was very pleasant. Hide

The best shepherds hut Ive stayed in (Ive stayed in many), a lovely field completely private. The bed was so comfortable, the kitchenette very well equipped, the shower room spotless and the water nice and hot. A beautiful and peaceful location with fantastic recommendations in the folder provided. There is no WiFi or TV so download any music or moRead morevies to your phone beforehand. Also recommend to bring your own seasoned logs and kindling for the hot tub fire. 10/10 recommend this property. Hide

Amazingly designed and built, the hut was very spacious and had everything we needed. Beautifully furnished and in a perfectly secluded location for total privacy. The fire pit & hot tub were amazing. Bex was a great host. Would love to return in the Autumn. 5* property
Megan
We had a fantastic stay , very clean homely and all round worth the money . We certainly could have stayed for a lot longer. Will definitely look at booking again in the future. The only negative we have is how hard it was to light the hot tub and keep it going .
Nikki
We had a mid week break for my partners birthday and I have never slept in a comfier bed. I wanted to bring it home with me. We didn't use the hot tub as was raining the first day and went out the 2nd, so can't comment on that but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay

Had a lovely 2 night stay with my girlfriend. The hot tub took some doing to get going but was well the effort. The hut was really nice with a super comfy bed. The hosts were really helpful dropping off additional firewood and helping get the fire for the hot tub going. Really recommend staying here, especially for a couples get away. To maximise yRead moreour experience I would suggest going in summer when the weather is nice so you can enjoy the firepit and hot tub more. Hide

A perfect little hideaway in a fantastic location. Couldnt have wished for better. Excellent communication from the host
Regine
As as first time glamper, I wasnt sure what to expect. The cabin and facilities were spot on and we had enough logs for the hot tub and fire pit, we also brought our own but this wasnt really needed. Since we had nice weather on the first day we were able to sit outside on the first morning for breakfast which was really lovely. When it did rain, tRead morehe cabin was dry, warm and comfortable. Slight noise from tracters/cars and headlights as it is next to a road. Other than that, it was lovely. Hide
Sally
We really enjoyed our stay, booking was easy and the hut was gorgeous. Bed was extremely comfy albeit a bit high up for short people like me! It was very clean and functional. The shower was amazing, my 6ft 4 husband was delighted to be able to actually stand under the shower head. Peaceful on the whole but did have some noisy motorbikes going by d aily. Lovely place to stay
Donna

Sue
Absolutely superb - peaceful location in a very pretty part of the U.K. The owner was lovely to deal with when we needed some assistance. Guide book very useful with lots of local information. We went to one of the pubs mentioned (The York Inn) which served very nice food with great staff. Couldnt recommend this shepherds hut enough for a complete break from it all.
Lucy
A wonderful hide away, just perfect. Everything is well presented, fresh flowers & a welcome bottle of fizzy. Comfy bed & lovely pillows. The hot tub is perfect for relaxing of an afternoon or evening. It was our time to stop and escape our busy lives, in a peaceful relaxing location.

Michael
We had an absolutely amazing weekend here for my spouses birthday. The hut was very clean and cosy and the facilities were great! Everything you need for a chilled getaway in peace and quiet. Honestly I cant pick any faults and like I say if youre looking for a quiet getaway in the countryside I would definitely recommend! I would also recommend th e pub(the York Inn) situated just down the road in the local village. Absolutely amazing food and a very friendly welcoming atmosphere.
Matthew
Clean, comfortable and in a lovely area - highly recommend!
Lauren
Cabin was beautiful and well equipped. Its in a stunning location nice and secluded. Owners were very friendly and helpful with anything we asked will definitely be returning.
Elisha
I booked this hut for my partners birthday we had a wonderful time here! We didnt want to leave! There was everything that we needed in the hut to make our stay comfortable. There were nice little touches too such as fresh flowers and a booklet of local walks to do. The wood burner was perfect when it got a bit chilly of an evening. The hut was ver y private. I would definitely stay here again.
Clare
We had a fantastic 3 Night break in Lillian. Really comfortable accommodation in a beautiful, quiet and peaceful location. Lots of little extra touches made the stay extra special such as dressing gowns, huge fluffy bath sheets, fantastic shower, spotless hot tub, electric blanket on the bed and all immaculately presented. Far enough away from the one other shepherd's hut for privacy. Would definitely recommend and we would be happy to return again.
