    “Beautiful cabin, very warm and cosy for the 4 of us. The hosts are amazing, the kids loved the pool, even if it was a little chilly. The gift pack was such a lovely touch, made to feel very welcome. Say hi to Dan if you see him before me.”

There are two well equipped custom built shepherd's hut set in a paddock with views over the surrounding countryside. Each shepherd's hut sleeps 4 and is equipped with a kitchenette, bathroom, living space and a balcony which has ample space for alfresco dining. The kitchenette comprises of a gas hob, oven and grill, a small fridge, cupboard space, crockery, saucepans and cooking utensils. There is a day sofa which pulls out to make a double bed, a pipe cot (similar to a hammock and commonly used in boats). The table and bench area folds up to make a single bed. Outside below the deck is an Indian Fire bowl which is great for barbecues and toasting marshmallows whilst star gazing. The peaceful setting is perfect for unwinding, getting back to nature and soothing the soul. There is an above ground swimming pool (12 x 24ft) which guests are welcome to use at their own risk. The pool is unheated.
Andy is a carpenter by trade and built the high quality bespoke shepherd's huts during lockdown. Paula has a background in soft furnishings and interior design. Paula and Andy have 6 chickens which will provide your eggs and 3 goats. We are passionate about local produce; we have a polytunnel where we grow tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, chilli's, melons and salad items; we also have a large veg patch.
