Damsel Shepherds Hut Reviews

Beautiful little shepherds hut, set almost on its own island with a short landbridge, as photos show! Sarah was lovely, nothing was too much trouble, and the honesty shop was a nice touch. Comfy bed, ducks to feed & our own private hottub . . . bliss!!
Lovely place, clean and tidy but most of all, absolutely loved it here, the fishing was great and our Damsel Shepard's Hut was just perfect, the hot tub and sauna was great, just what we needed for a few days, a little break myself and my wife needed, will definitely be coming back. On arrival we was greeted by a lovely lady Sarah, who gave us all the information we needed for our stay, very friendly, I will be recommending to our friends and family to come and stay. Thank you for a lovely time.
Absolutely perfect. Wonderful surroundings. Lovely cosy and clean accommodation. Sauna and hot tub are a great addition that tops it all off. Will definitely recommend and return ourselves.
Wonderful stay highly recommend. If you are thinking of booking do not hesitate, this is one not to be missed. The hut is so cosy and dreamy. Being able to wake up and get in the hot tub felt so luxurious, a great feature of this stay given how private it felt too. Facilities are great. The host couldnt have been nicer or more welcoming. The on site mini shop was great and good value. Recommend for a solo get away or few nights as a couple. One to just sit, read a book and relax at. Lots of public footpaths nearby too for adventuring, I regularly saw a family of deer. Simply fantastic.

The welcome on our arrival, was the start to a perfect break. The accommodation was clean and well presented and lived up to all of our expectations prior to our visit. The friendliness that was shown to us by Sarah placed us at ease and we had no issues or problems during our stay. The shop on site does not sell perishable goods like milk, bread, butter but there is a local store a short distance that you can purchase these products. All in all a good place for a break and well worth a repeat visit in the future.
Had a amazing time , everything we needed was there , so quite and secluded, ... Had a amazing time , everything we needed was there , so quite and secluded, owners were so lovely and welcoming, definitely a little piece of paradise and highly recommend

Suffolk Owl Sanctuary - IP28 6HX

This amazing owl sanctuary located in the Stowmarket area of Suffolk should be high on your list of places to visit in the area.  The attraction is also a registered charity and carries out important work in the care & rehabilitation of owls from the region.  The sanctuary also raises awareness of owl conservation throughout the UK.  Between April and the end of September there are two superb flying displays each day so you should try and make your visit coincide with one of these displays if you can.
Banham Zoo - NR16 2HE
about 12 Miles
This award winning wildlife attraction has much to offer both families and couples looking for a fun and educational day out.  You can discover a whole wild world of animals with over 1000 different animals from around the world. You will probably want to try and spend the whole day here so you don's miss out on anything.  Highlights include the amazing animals presentation, the birds of prey display and the feeding talks, all of which take place at set times of the day.  This attraction is fantastic value for money and highly recommended.  Their latest event is the Snow Leopard Club Naming Auction and there has recently been a baby giraffe born at the zoo.
Melsop Farm Park - NR20 3DT
about 19 Miles
We love this attraction in Scoulton, Norfolk with a great collection of animals.  Children and adults alike have the chance to get hands on with the animals in the special handling areas.  On rainy days there is always the indoor play area for the little ones and when it's time for a bite to eat the cafe on the farm is open all day selling drinks and snacks.  Hot food is available over lunch times.
National Horse Racing Museum - CB8 8JL
about 21 Miles
This is a museum with a difference and a must see if you are into horse racing.  You can take guided tours around the museum or choose to wander round yourself admiring the exhibits.  New for 2010 is a Junior Fun Tour which is ideal for children.  Simply ask the gallery staff for a Fun Tour pack when you enter the museum and kids can answer questions and spot clues and tips on the way round.  One of the most popular recent exhibitions is the Thoroughbred: State of the Art exhibition in Gallery 5 on until 31st October.  Check out their websites for the latest exhibitions.
Colchester Zoo - CO3 0SL

Colchester Zoo is a fantastic place to visit with something for all the family.  Wander around and see the array of animals in excellent habitats.  Don't forget to visit the Leopards at Ussuri Falls, this new expansion can be located opposte the White Tiger Valley and the Medellin Momkeys.  Other popular areas of the zoo include Tiger Taiga, Chimp World and Wallaby Walkabout.   Look out for special events throughout the year such as Shriek Week on Halloween.  If you book tickets online you can obtain a discount of 10% and are also fast tracked on entry to the zoo - a great idea in the school holidays.
