Gareth David

It was The best getaway. Very nice,clean place. Youll find everything you need even a milk in the fridge its so thoughtful. The owners is amazing and very helpful. Definitely gonna come back.
Thomas
Realty enjoyed our stay, the property was beautiful, clean and well maintained. Everything needed was provided including logs for the fire and even milk and fresh orange juice which was prefect for breakfast. Little things like that made the stay very enjoyable and felt like you were looked after. Chris and Helen were both lovely and very helpful, providing recommendations on what to do and where to eat. Overall our trip was excellent and would recommend to anybody else looking for a getaway. We are definitely keen to return and experience the lovely surroundings in the summer, the huts positioned around the pond would be ideal on a summers evening. Thanks for a fantastic stay!
A very comfortable stay with such a beautiful setting. Its clear that a lot of time, effort and love has gone into these huts. We had a fantastic two night break and despite the mud English autumn! we enjoyed it immensely. Wellies are a must, but this is one of the cosiest breaks we have for a long time. Cannot recommend enough.
Loved our time at Lillies Hut. Weve already recommended others come here to stay. Well no doubt be back at some point!

We stayed for our 1st wedding anniversary and we were over the moon with the cabin. Beautiful to look at and very comfortable. Only thing that would have been better is some chairs around the fire pit. But besides that. 1010
We have had a fantastic stay in Lillies Hut, we even got to meet Lillie herself who is absolutely gorgeous. The hut was extremely comfortable and had everything we needed for our 3 night break. The area was peaceful and we saw some fantastic wildlife. To open your door and be greeted with the pond, ducks, butterflies and birds was completely delightful. The hot tub was easy to use and so relaxing. The hut has some lovely little details and we were able to watch the stars both outside and inside, it is these details that made our stay extremely enjoyable and relaxing. Chris was fantastic, he was available to help if we needed it and gave us some great information about the area and where to visit, he was a very friendly host. We would and will recommend Shepherds Lodge and can't wait to go back.
Perfect relaxing getaway, Chris and Helen made us feel so welcome from start to finish the recommendations on places to go and eat were spot on. If we needed Chris for anything he was always happy to help and came over to the hut straight away. Not got a bad word to say about anything on our stay. We will definitely be returning in the future and recommending it to friends and family.
Absolutely amazing stay despite the very windy weather we had the most lovely time. Just to sit outside and not hear a thing was the best part. Chris was really helpful in helping us find them when we arrived. And our welcome back helped us find things to do in the area we wasn't sure of. Lillie's Hut was just beautiful inside and outside. Highly recommended and I cannot wait to stay again
Property and area was perfect for me and my misses.
Fabulous 2 night stay, beautiful surroundings, spotless, private hut with all modern comforts. Village, pub and restaurant within a 30 minute walk. Very friendly host who was on hand if needed. What more could you want for a cosy relaxing break? Will be returning! Julie & Tom
100 would come back. Chris and Helen are amazing! We enjoyed every second of it. So peaceful and just what we needed.
Oliver

The accommodation is perfect for two and the scenery of the place and the peaceful is perfect. I would highly recommend for any couple or family to stay here. The host chris was lovely to us and very welcoming. Will definitely be coming back.
Chris & Helen were very friendly and accommodating! The lodge was exactly what we wanted, quiet and peaceful with a short walk to a pub haha! Will definitely be going back and recommending to friendsfamily!
Our first stay at Lillys cottage was perfect, the owner Chris was very polite and very helpful and really makes u feel welcome, Lillys hut was sparkling clean with not a thing out of place, the bed so so comfy and what really made it special was the twinkle lights on the ceiling. The hot tub was amazing , we will 100 be returning.
Christian
The whole experience has been amazing. The host was very welcoming and helpful. The little hut was very special and perfect for what we needed. There was also so many cute little added touches that made it feel very homely. The area was beautiful and very secluded. The hot tub was a lovely end to the day. We are definitely looking forward to returning.
Isabel
We had an absolutely fantastic stay in an idyllic setting. Chris was the perfect host and could not do more for us. All the facilities of the accommodation were presented to a high standard and cleanliness was immaculate. I would not hesitate to recommend. We will definitely go back,.
Danielle
It was a lovely stay, and the owner was very welcoming and gave us ideas for our stay. Was a lovely visit and would visit again in warmer weather.
Daniel
Really enjoyed our stay very welcoming hosts and the hut was well equipped and very clean will definitely be returning.
What a fantastic experience! Wed like to extend our greatest thanks to Chris for his fantastic hospitality. The huts are extremely modern with underfloor hearing and a fantastic shower, electric hobs, heated towel rack. But you also dont lose the country feel, as theres a log burner that really gets toasty! Brilliant venue with stunning views, Chris was exemplary with recommendations about where to visit to go and eat and have a drink around the local area. Also thank you for the help regarding the log burning hot tub! Wed absolutely love to visit again, thank you once more for your hospitality. Best, Isy
Callum
The whole experience was extremely relaxing and enjoyable with great service provided by the hosts. The only down side was getting the hot tub started but that was soon resolved. For us the roaming dogs were a pleasant surprise, however it might be ideal to have a warning on the website as someone might be allergic or be afraid of dogs. Other than that we would definitely recommend this place and will be returning in the future.
