I had a wonderful time at the cabin, the weather was beautiful. Comfy bed, essential ammeneties were all present. The best bit was the hot tub, it was great to sit in it and look up at the incredible amount of stars. Thanks for having me!

Nelly

Love the hot tub ( just need to follow instructions how to start and get it going) and the fire pit. My partner patiently and lovingly sort both of them for us, and it both went really well. The cottage was clean and cozy and enough amenities needed for a comfortable weekend stay.

Laura

A beautiful Shepard's hut which was well laid out and used space effectively. Everything was very tidy and clean and the hut itself was lovely. Bathroom facilities were good, shower was very spacious. The outdoor hot tub was lovely, the wood was well stocked and we used it almost every night. The outdoor area is massive and very well kept. There isRead more very limited signal and no WiFi- which wasnt an issue for us and it was stated before arrival anyway. Overall, it was very pleasant. Hide

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.

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.

I would definitely stay here again.

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.
