Reece

Staying at this shepherds hut was a perfect getaway to free ourselves from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Buried in the countryside near the Forest of Dean, this farmland property was a fantastic way to spend a couple of nights without the city lights and noisy traffic of the city. Liz and Tim were the most welcoming and kind people I thinRead morek weve ever met. Manually making the fires (including for the hot tub) made the coziness and independence even more special. Coming back next year! Hide

What can I say about hut eliza? This place is absolutely amazing. We came for 4 days and to be honest, I wish we could have stayed for an indefinite amount of time. Its so quiet and relaxing. We just sat outside and took in the scenery and sounds. There's lots of wildlife and at night you can see every star in the sky The owners, tim and liz are pr obably the nicest people you could meet. They helped us with everything we needed, including a mechanic. Couldn't recommend this place enough.
