The perfect break for the two of us

Everything about our stay was perfect. We stayed in The Willow Shepard's hut. The owners had thought of everything. The decor, robes, slippers and even marshmallow for roasting over the open fire.

Lovely experience, quiet and peaceful.

Really enjoyed the fireplace and hot tub. However the inside oven wasn't great unfortunately, made it quite hard to cook, would suggest an air fryer or something similar.

A Perfect 2 Night Relaxing Getaway!

We had such a wonderful 2 night stay the Willow hut. It was the ultimate relaxing break, we spent plenty of time unwinding and taking full advantage of the hot tub. The hut itself was spotless and clean, with a lovely, peaceful view of the horses right outside. Toasting marshmallows over the fire was such a thoughtful extra touch that made the evenings feel extra special! Overall, a gorgeous place to unwind, we’d love to come back!

Beautiful Shepherds Hut in an idyllic setting - tranquil and relaxing

Such a lovely Shepherds Hut with everything you need for a perfect, luxurious stay. The hot tub was certainly a main attraction for me, listening to the wildlife and watching Red Kites gliding ahead. The evening lighting (including the lights in the hot tub) make for a perfect relaxed evening. If you are a lone traveller like myself it was ideal.

The cabin was lovely and we had a great time will definitely be coming back again.

This is the second time we have stayed at the huts, we love it there, the cabins are perfect for getting away for a few days, the fire pits and hot tubs outside make it a great way to relax in the evenings.

Always made to feel like a special guest.

This was our 4th stay at these beautiful huts and we have now stayed in all 3 of them. Each hut has its own unique style and special feature, be that a wood fired hot tub, a copper bath or a spacious electric hot tub that we could relax in long into the evening. Each time we have stayed, even from the first time, we have been greeted by a personalised welcome note and this time a bottle of wine to enjoy. For the first time we even got to light the log burner, perfect and cosy.

Lovely get away before Christmas madness!

My partner and I stayed in The Willows Hut for three days and we had a great time unwinding. We loved how peaceful and quiet it was and we especially loved the heated flooring in the hut, the super comfy bed and of course the hot tub! Thank you for a lovely stay.

Wonderful

I booked as a surprise for my husbands 50th birthday and our 30th wedding anniversary. The hut had everything we needed and Liz and Sam were perfect hosts. It was so peaceful and relaxing and just what we needed after a tough year. The bottle of Prosecco and the note were a lovely surprise and we enjoyed toasting the marshmallows over the fire pit. We enjoyed going to see the horses on site and they are well cared for. It was a perfect place for us to celebrate. Thank you again
