High Grounds Shepherd's Hut Reviews

The hut was beautiful, we had made early requests which were all fulfilled perfectly, the hut wasnt cold at all with the fire, the hot tub was prefect. Couldnt fault anything & would definitely stay again if the chance came about.
Michelle
We had a mid week break at this beautiful hut. We had a welcome gift of bubbles and brownies which were delicious, the hot tub was prewarmed. We could not fault the facilities or the location. The hut has everything you would need. We stayed at one of the coldest weeks and the hut was kept cosy and warm with an electric radiator and log burner. Thank you Alice and Tom
Olivia
We had an absolutely amazing time at our stay in the shepherds hut. It was so cosy and really well equipped! Alice and Tom were absolutely fantastic hosts especially when we got a bit of car trouble with all the flooding, they were so informative and always on hand if we needed them! Overall, and excellent stay and we would definitely visit again!
Catherine
The shepherds hut had everything we could wish for Thank you so much for being wonderful hosts
A wonderful, peaceful break in this beautiful property. A well stocked kitchen of equipment and lil treats and gorgeous scenery. If you're looking to escape from reality this is perfect.
Natalie
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at High Grounds Shepherds Hut. Alice and Tom were such wonderful hosts and nothing was too much trouble. The hut is decked out with everything youd need and with lovely little touches from the hosts. It was super comfortable and cosy and the hot tub was fabulous! Wonderful views and a perfect escape from London! So much so we stayed an extra night! Thank you so much
Me and my partner stayed here and it was the perfect little getaway. We stayed for 3 nights and it was all perfect. the owners are so lovley and if we needed anything they were there at all times to help. They had everything we needed when we got there plus more! Had little treats for us upon arrival. Will 100 be returning to this place as we just loved it! Felt like we were a million miles away from anything but everything we needed was in distance and again, they helped us anytime we needed them. 100 recommended!!!
Virginia
Alice and Tom were fantastic hosts. The hut provided all that we required and more. They even stoked the hot tub fire for our arrival such a lovely touch. The area is very secluded with neighbouring sheep, squirrels and pheasants for company not to mention being serenaded by a cow or owl or two each evening! We enjoyed the hot showers and cozy fires after some beautifully brisk autumn walks and felt totally spoilt and peaceful amongst their little patch of paradise.
Maddie
High Grounds Shepards Hut was the perfect little getaway to wind down from busy city life. It was a lovely little hut that was cosy, clean and homely! The hot tub made it perfect to relax in the sunny crisp air with a glass of Prosecco while taking in all the wildlife and scenic views around! The owners Alice and Tom were lovely and very happy to help with any queries or questions about our stay and made us feel very welcomed. There was a guide within the hut that told you about the hut and everything you needed to know as well as some recommendations for tasty food and drink around, we took a walk to The Horseshoes for Sunday dinner and it did not disappoint!! Would highly recommend and would definitely stay again!! It is the most perfect little staycation away for a couple! Thanks Alice and Tom!
Lovely hut if your looking to go unwind this is the place. Peaceful and really quite would highly recommend and will 100 be booking again
A perfect mini honeymoon. We couldn't have wished for a more perfect place to spend it. The owners left us to enjoy our few days but were just round the corner if we needed anything which we didn't as everything was just right. Thank you so much and we will definitely be back.
You would have to be really nit picking to find any issues with the Shepard's Hut, its a nice peaceful area and easy to find. You can tell the owners have put a lot of care and attention into the hut, from having custom art near the bed welcoming you to the hut, to having a shower with proper pressure. I love that we had been provided a information pack, with all the information we would have wanted, such a local shops, attractions and how to use anything at the hut, like heating the hot tub etc. I would highly recommend this to anyone and everyone, you wouldn't regret the time here!
The hut is a beautiful place to stay and has everything you need for your stay. Inside the hut is clean and well laid out, the attention to detail makes the space work perfectly. It was a lovely welcome to find a couple of slices of cake and Prosecco in the fridge, along with milk. We met Tom on our arrival, but other than that we didnt see the hosts. They were nearby if we needed them but we had no issues and the welcome pack gave us all the info we needed for our stay. There was more than enough wood for the hot tub which was nice to relax in looking out onto the fields. The location is wonderful, looking out over the fields, only noise is the local wildlife and odd cow. During our stay we ventured out a couple of days, plenty of things to do in the surrounding area for a short car ride. We enjoyed some lovely pub lunches, tea and cake at local cafes and we had a beaut Indian takeaway that was listed in the welcome pack. All in all we absolutely loved our few days here.
Stuart
A beautiful spot with a lovely view . The Shepherds hut had Everything we needed and some lovely extras. Very comfortable bed. The hot tub was easy to keep warm. We had a very relaxing stay.
If youre looking to escape from the world then heres an idyllic bolt hole, cant fault anything about it to be honest, we didnt even have to bother our hosts as everything you need is supplied in and around the hut. The hut has a tardis interior and is clean, comfortable and practical with a touch of personal. The hot tub is a great addition easily attended to, how anyone could run out of kindling or wood is beyond me we were there for 3 nights and didnt make a dent in the supply. Great way to end your day with your partner. The location is perfect tho you will need to drive to visit the area which is only to be expected, the farm dog made us laugh with his inquisitive nature especially when he was in the hole in the wall with his head poking out and Harry the hare joined us in the adjacent field for a bit of music and hot tubbing in the evening. My girlfriend didnt want to go home which cost me another small fortune in one of the many superb local pubs which we found to be friendly and fair priced, we will definitely be returning to the hut on the hill
Absolutely beautiful place, stunning little property with everything you could possible need. We would definitely recommend and will most certainly return.
Despite the weather we had a fantastic time at High Grounds Shepherds Hut. We were not able to arrive until later so we really appreciated the hot tub being heated for our arrival and everything being laid out. The directions were easy to follow. The lodge itself was immaculate however we did struggle to find space for the small cooker to make our bbq although we appreciate the extra facility within the small space. The brownies and prosecco were a lovely touch especially after we had declined any extras thank you for making our first anniversary lovely despite the rain
Had a fabulous time staying at the Shepherds Hut. Would definitely go back really comfortable loved the hot tub!
Perfect space with everything you need. So much attention to detail. Very relaxing and private. Highly recommend.
Rachael

Tiegan
Couldn't fault this stay. Was the perfect place to go for a weekend away! Really quite lovely place and great communication with the owners before during and after our stay! Highly recommend
Had the most wonderful weekend, the small touches within the hut really made us feel like we were at home! i cant thank you guys enough!
Jessica
We had the most wonderful stay at High Grounds Shepherds Hut! The hut is beautifully decorated with such attention to detail. Everything is perfect about this little piece of heaven! The hot tub is fab and so easy to use. The location is stunning, private but with easy access to the main road to Ashbourne. Tom and Alice added some beautiful special touches on our arrival for our minimoon. We would 100 recommend staying here!
A little piece of paradise! !! Immaculately clean, the comfiest bed ever, absolutely stunning tranquil location, ideal for completely relaxation. I highly recommend NOT using the hut as a base to go off and visit other things in the area, but rather, to completely do it justice, spend your time sat outside at the little table and chairs or in the hot tub with the bubbles off and simply enjoy the birdsong we identified over 15 different species!. We came straight from our wedding and had a really lovely few days escaping everything. The hosts Tom and Alice were really lovely, and had provided loads of little touches. Everything that you could need is provided for you. We can't wait to come back again!
Angela
Lovely location, private and isolated. Everything was supplied in the hut and we had a very comfortable two night stay. Hot tub was fantastic with amazing views! Highly recommend and would definitely book again.
Lesley
The log burner hot tub was a problem for us. The owner lit if for us ready for arrival which was lovely. But we struggling to get it fired up.we were running out kindling and logs because the fire kept going out. They was a little lighter that was useless I rang the owner he bought matches and kindling said he would come back with some more but never did. Otherwise was everything was good
Bradie
Overall lovely stay. The hosts were very kind to leave us some cake, Prosecco and a small milk in the fridge upon our arrival. The stay offered a private location with far reaching views. There was plenty of firewood and kindling for both the fire and the hot tub but also is it was very easy to ask for more ifwhen needed. The surrounding villages offered a lovely place to walk and the bigger towns of Ashbourne, Tutbury and Hatton were all within a short drive, all offering lovely views, shops and local cafes restaurants. I would highly recommend a meal at The Cow! The food was amazing and came from a recommendation of the hosts that was all provided in their handy welcome book. I would highly recommend to anyone and I would definitely return.
Robert
Brilliant location and very private, milk and lovely biscuits ready in the fridge, thanks for that ! ! The owners Tom and Alice are very helpful and were always available. Perfect getaway for two !!!
The hut is gorgeous and the perfect size to feel cozy but spacious enough to live in for a few days. The location is great for walking straight from the hut, or driving into the Peak District which we did several times during our stay. The hot tub and fire within the hut are easy to manage and keep the place nice and warm! All the facilities you need are there and Alice and Tom are very quick to help you out with anything you need. If you're looking for a country get away with a partner, then this will be perfect for you!
Alice and Tom were very friendly and helpful, fridge was stocked with a bottle of bubblie and 2 cupcakes that were delicious, tea and coffee was provided with milk so everything was thought of, hotub was warm when we arrived and they left us to our own devices. Was the perfect getaway for our 22nd wedding anniversary. Thank you Alice and Tom
A wonderful retreat with a rolling hillside view with the hot tube outside made even more special. Great location very nice. Owners were so helpful and supplied a comprehensive welcoming information. The accommodation was amazing will look to book again
Sophie
We really enjoyed our stay, the hut was just as described. It was close to all the places we wanted to go and close to shops if we ever needed anything. Service was so helpful and would help whenever we asked.
Georgia
We absolutely loved our stay! This was honestly one of the cosiest places I have ever stayed and it was just the perfect first trip away with my boyfriend. The Shepards hut offered a private space at the top of the farm for my boyfriend and I to chill out and relax together, enjoying the facilities like the beautiful hot tub and the lovely open fire inside the hut. I also loved the fact that if I did have any problems I knew I would be able to go down to the farm and ask someone. The interior and exterior of this place was just lovely and I would honestly recommend it to anyone. The only downfall would be the signal to the TV as it wouldnt work at times, but the fact we were left with a helpful book of things to do nearby, we were never once bored. The book tells you everything ranging from places to eat , walks to do and even takeaway and taxi companies. The book also tells you how to work the hot tub, open fire etc , which I also found helpful. I cant thank the hosts enough for making this trip so special for me and my boyfriend. I loved every second.
We really enjoyed our stay at the hut, it was really nicely decorated and presented. Really like the welcome pack with all the information in like local takeaways, restaurants, things to do. It would've been nice to have an umbrellaparasol over the seating andor hot tub for sitting out even when raining. Other than that, it was a lovely week away and not too far from walks and attractions.
Latola
Me and my Partner stayed here for his 30th birthday last weekend and we had the best time. Couldn't recommend this place enough! The shepards hut is beautiful and tucked nicely out of the way at the top of the farm. We woke in the morning to a field of cows outside our window, which was a great view whist we enjoyed our breakfast. Even the October weather didn't stop us from jumping into the hot tub! Fantastic if you want a nice peaceful break away with beautiful views! We will definitely be returning again next year!
Alice and Tom were very friendly and helpful as well as giving us space and privacy. The hut was very clean, very comfortable and a joy to live in for a week.
Rebecca
The shepherds hut was so lovely and cosy, perfect for two of us. It has been done up so well with lots of little nice touches the log burner in particular was great in the chilly mornings! The hot tub was also amazing! Alice and Tom were brilliant hosts and really helped with all our queries. We couldnt recommend enough!
Lovely time at High Grounds Tom and Alice really helpful Hot tub all ready when ... Lovely time at High Grounds Tom and Alice really helpful Hot tub all ready when arrived Would definitely go again Thank You
A beautiful property and immaculately clean. For those wanting a relaxing break with all the home comforts this is the place to go. The owners even had the hot tub warmed for our arrival. A very simple check in and out process too. Would highly recommend.
