Fabulous!
What a lovely spot to stay, beautiful surroundings, calm, peaceful and relaxing. The shepherd's hut is comfy and cosy, the kitchen building has everything needed for self-catering. It's not the Ritz - but wants the Ritz, this is way better! The hosts were helpful and friendly. Couldn't have asked for a better break.

Peaceful
We had a lovely time, very peaceful, nice people and nice and clean, our only criticism was no outside lighting whatsoever, so was abit scary when you needed the toilet during the night, which would of been OK if we had of known because we would of took a torch.

Amazing experience. Pete and Dee were very hospitable. Two inquisitive Llamas, Geese next to the hut, a cute Dog who loved to show off her football skills, Chickens and a friendly Cat who made us feel at home...
Would certainly recommend for a relaxing holiday!
