Absolutely amazing place to stay. The shepherds hut was immaculate, the grounds and views are truly stunning. So peaceful and we really enjoyed sitting in the hot tub looking at the night sky. The owners, Peter and Lisa, were simply the best hosts.

Musts A visit to the Bell at Chittlehampton you will not be disappointed and order some great food from Judy who will deliver details are in the hut

Absolutely amazing stay, couldnt recommend more. Such a peaceful and relaxing location!

We had a lovely time staying at Little Silver Leaf however our hot tub seemed to have a problem, it didnt reach above 32. 5 degrees which made the hot tub only warm rather than hot. When this was brought to the attention of our hosts, we were a little disappointed we were not offered any money back or offered any alternative for not being able to use the hot tub to its full potential .

Matthew

Fantastic property, owners were very helpful in making our celebration weekend even more special. We will definitely be returning! We loved it so much my brother is also going later in the year!

Great location. Very comfortable. Very helpful and attentive owners and staff

Most amazing holiday from start to finish, pete was so lovely and helped us with anything we needed unfortunately we did not get to meet his wife Lisa. Welcome pack inside our hut was an amazing touch to our holiday! Hot tub was out of this world with amazing views will definitely be returning in the near future

I spent a glorious week at this exceptional shepherds hut and I highly recommend it. Warm, cosy and comfortable. The hot tub was a fabulous bonus as was the golf buggy. The views across the valley and the river below are truly spectacular especially as I was there when the leaves were turning in October. Peter and Lisa have thought of everything you need to enjoy a relaxing and peaceful holiday, including a very lovely welcome hamper, thank you.

We had such a lovely stay in little silver leaf, so nice we dont want to leave! The welcome hamper was such a excellent touch with all the local produce. The golf buggy was also an awesome unique addition. We will definitely be recommending this to others who are after a relaxing break with nice views and great hospitality.Thank you Peter and Lisa for creating such a wonderful escape from the madness of everyday life.

We can't rate Little Silver Leaf highly enough. The property was exactly as describedpictured and actually exceeded our expectations. The welcome basket was a nice touch and the owners were lovely and like to leave you to it unless you wish otherwise. The golf buggy was a lot of fun, and the hot tub was bliss before breakfast watching the sunrise and so relaxing after dark, after long days walking the moors and beaches. We can't wait to book again!

Little Silver Leaf was such a lovely Shepards hut. The welcome basket was amazing and the hot tub was the icing on the cake. I would love to go back.

Wow ... fantastic way too spend my 50th Birthday, a stunning hut that has everything you need ... Peter and Lisa are amazing hosts and the welcome hamper was truly yummy, the hot tub is the best ever ,will definitely be back.

Wonderful, peaceful location. Amazing shepherds hut. Very discreet, but helpful hosts. Will be returning ...... definitely !

The thoughtful details in our Shepard hut and throughout the whole site was delightful and turned our shortbreak into a really pleasurable experience. The hosts have clearly put a lot of effort into creating a high quality, relaxing and friendly site, with sustainable and eco friendly considerations. We absolutely loved it!

Alison

Lovely long weekend at the little shepherd hut. The hut is very warm and cosy even during last weekend's bad weather. The hot tub was perfect after a busy day. The golf carts are a great idea to get you to and from the hut. Lovely welcome pack when we arrived. Would, definitely visit again although probably when the weather is better to appreciate the views and scenery even more

Philip

An absolutely luxurious and fully equipped practically brandnew Shepherd's Hut lucky shepherd! The underfloor heating and wood burning stove, combined with full insulation, was more than adequate to heat the hut, in cool but not freezing conditions. The golf buggy to transport luggage from the car was a fun novelty. Super comfortable bed, and lovely welcome basket with apple juice, eggs and honey all from Peter and Lisa at Little Silver House, and other goodies too a bottle of wine, cheese scones, coffee, shortbread Amazon echo a really nice touch..instant music on request. Excellent shower in the tiny but well designed bathroom, and the hot tub, of which we made full use morning and evening, was wonderful, especially in the dark under the stars. Lots of info about the surrounding area a very pleasant walk up to the pub in High Bickington, with magnificent views of the surrounding countryside. The excellent looking village shop closes at 1pm on Saturday, by the way. All in all, a wonderful cosy weekend. Thank you Peter and Lisa

The location was beautiful and peaceful and the hosts Peter and Lisa really ... The location was beautiful and peaceful and the hosts Peter and Lisa really helpful The golf buggy was great, hot tub superb situated where you had a stunning view The welcome hamper was the best we have had with local produce The hut was very cosy and clean We will definitely return

Our stay at Little Silver Leaf was absolutely perfect. The views from the hut and hot tub are stunning and extremely private. The welcome basket was a lovely surprise and the hosts were incredibly helpful. If you need a place to relax and unwind, you would struggle to find anywhere better than Little Silver Leaf. Within an hour of arriving home, we have starting looking at dates to return! Thank you for a wonderful stay we would not change a single thing.

The photos of the hut do not do it justice. A great deal of care and thought has obviously gone into the set up and the results are amazing. The huts are nicely secluded on a hill side with amazing views something shared with the hot tub. Inside the hut is a cosy area just perfect for two, it is well laid out and comes with all you would need for a break. The need to use a golf cart is a surprise but when you get to the hut you can understand why and to have cars being used would ruin the tranquil setting, it was however a big challenging with the amount of rain. The host also provide the most amazing welcome basket full of local treats and a very comprehensive guide book to the local area. If you want a quiet relaxing break in beautiful surroundings then this is definitely the place to go.

Edward

The shepherds huts were fantastic. Very well equipped, cosy and comfortable. The hot tub was fantastic and secluded. The hosts were available if anything was needed and provided a lovely welcome basket with home made goodies in. We had a very relaxing break that even the weather couldn't spoil. I would definitely return.

Lauren

We lived the golf cart and was fun to drive back and fourth! It was lovely and clean, hot tub was an added bonus! The welcome basket was a lovely surprise! We had a lovely relaxing stay, and would love to go back.
