Little Silver Leaf Reviews

Rebecca

Our stay at Little Silver Leaf was incredible! The hosts communication was friendly with quick responses. We used the app made for the place frequently and all instructions on arrival and departure were very clear. The hut we stayed in was decorated nicely and kept immaculate. We loved the welcome hamper. We spent every morning and evening in the hot tub taking in the nature. The hut was secluded and although there were neighbouring huts it felt very private. The golf buggy was really fun to drive about!

Really nice little place, had everything we needed and was exactly what we expected. The golf buggy was an amazing experience and really unique touch to the property. Hot tub was lovely. Honestly couldnt fault it, was a really nice stay and couldnt complain.

Darren

Little silver leaf was well above expectations, the location is beautiful and peaceful with plenty of places to visit. We were very impressed. A great little hideaway.

Bradley

A lovely shepherd but in tranquil surroundings, a relaxing and well needed break in a lovely location.

Sheera

We had a fabulous time. It was so peaceful with just the bird song for company. The views were beautiful and we had the privilege of seeing a Tree Creeper and a pair of Jays along with other birds. We had a sighting of a fox and watched a pair of squirrels playing in the trees. The accommodation was so well thought out and beautifully kept. We highly recommend especially if you want to be nurtured by nature. The welcome food hamper was a lovely touch.

A week of total peace and tranquility. Well equipped and comfortable. Plenty of hot water and lovely shower. Nice touch with Alexa and the Sonos speaker too. Very professional owners who clearly take pride in what they do. No complaints whatsoever we look forward to returning. 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

Just had a lovely few days at Little Silver Leaf. Cant recommend this place enough. Great hut, lovely welcome basket, lovely hot tub and a beautiful view.

Excellent accommodation private and secluded

We had an amazing time at Little Silver Leaf. Everything was so well thought out in the hut and was just perfect, including the surroundings. We will definitely be back!

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
