Me and my partner had an amazing time, in a peaceful location and the shepherds hut was warm and comfortable.
Melanie
A perfect little hideaway in a fantastic location. Couldnt have wished for better. Excellent communication from the host
Regine
As as first time glamper, I wasnt sure what to expect. The cabin and facilities were spot on and we had enough logs for the hot tub and fire pit, we also brought our own but this wasnt really needed. Since we had nice weather on the first day we were able to sit outside on the first morning for breakfast which was really lovely. When it did rain, tRead morehe cabin was dry, warm and comfortable. Slight noise from tracters/cars and headlights as it is next to a road. Other than that, it was lovely. Hide
Sally
We really enjoyed our stay, booking was easy and the hut was gorgeous. Bed was extremely comfy albeit a bit high up for short people like me! It was very clean and functional. The shower was amazing, my 6ft 4 husband was delighted to be able to actually stand under the shower head. Peaceful on the whole but did have some noisy motorbikes going by d aily. Lovely place to stay

Sue
Absolutely superb - peaceful location in a very pretty part of the U.K. The owner was lovely to deal with when we needed some assistance. Guide book very useful with lots of local information. We went to one of the pubs mentioned (The York Inn) which served very nice food with great staff. Couldnt recommend this shepherds hut enough for a complete break from it all.
Lucy
A wonderful hide away, just perfect. Everything is well presented, fresh flowers & a welcome bottle of fizzy. Comfy bed & lovely pillows. The hot tub is perfect for relaxing of an afternoon or evening. It was our time to stop and escape our busy lives, in a peaceful relaxing location.

We had an absolutely amazing weekend here for my spouses birthday. The hut was very clean and cosy and the facilities were great! Everything you need for a chilled getaway in peace and quiet. Honestly I cant pick any faults and like I say if youre looking for a quiet getaway in the countryside I would definitely recommend! I would also recommend th e pub(the York Inn) situated just down the road in the local village. Absolutely amazing food and a very friendly welcoming atmosphere.

Cabin was beautiful and well equipped. Its in a stunning location nice and secluded. Owners were very friendly and helpful with anything we asked will definitely be returning.
Elisha
I booked this hut for my partners birthday we had a wonderful time here! We didnt want to leave! There was everything that we needed in the hut to make our stay comfortable. There were nice little touches too such as fresh flowers and a booklet of local walks to do. The wood burner was perfect when it got a bit chilly of an evening. The hut was ver y private. I would definitely stay here again.
Clare
We had a fantastic 3 Night break in Lillian. Really comfortable accommodation in a beautiful, quiet and peaceful location. Lots of little extra touches made the stay extra special such as dressing gowns, huge fluffy bath sheets, fantastic shower, spotless hot tub, electric blanket on the bed and all immaculately presented. Far enough away from the one other shepherd's hut for privacy. Would definitely recommend and we would be happy to return again.
