Excellent stay in luxury Shepherds Hut with all you could need.
Excellent stay in luxury Shepherds Hut with all you could need. Sorry we didnt get to use the log burner, but we were out every night at the excellent pub restaurants near by. Thank you.
My favorite place I’ve stayed out of all my vacations! It was matical! Very clean, and beautiful craftsmanship. The property was private and relaxing, check in was simple and easy, and the stay as a whole was beautiful and peaceful. Want to come back to England just to stay here again.
