Don’t follow the destination post code at the end to find it as it’s incorrect. You are literally round the corner we had to ring the owner up to direct us. A quiet area which we liked. Very idyllic setting. Great hot tub. Host very accommodating nothing too much trouble, very welcoming and chatty and recommend places to visit and eat. We went with covid restrictions In place but still enjoyed our visit.

Compact but homely Shepard’s hut that was exactly as described & spotlessly clean.
Compact but homely Shepard’s hut that was exactly as described & spotlessly clean. Emma was welcoming and helped out with places of interest to visit. Hot tub was lovely & could tell it was emptied between guests (which a lot say but don’t actually do) Would highly recommend. Nice to have a large television to watch.
