    “I don’t know how to tell you this, but two nights in a shepherd’s hut in the middle of a field has completely ruined normal life for us.”

    We arrived as functioning adults with responsibilities. We left as feral woodland creatures who communicate exclusively through sighing contentedly at sunsets. The birdsong alone should be on prescription. The hut itself is an absolute triumph — spotless, stylish, warm, and equipped with a hot shower and working toilet (we were so relieved, in every sense).

    We arrived as functioning adults with responsibilities. We left as feral woodland creatures who communicate exclusively through sighing contentedly at sunsets. The birdsong alone should be on prescription. The hut itself is an absolute triumph — spotless, stylish, warm, and equipped with a hot shower and working toilet (we were so relieved, in every sense). The hosts have clearly thought of everything, right down to details we didn’t even know we needed. Five star glamping perfection. I was even inspired to download the Merlin App and I have left as an official bird twitcher, sharing our field with blue tits, robins, wrens, wood pigeons, jackdaws, blackbirds…. I could go on! Thank you Carrie and Mike for being great hosts. Kirsti & Simon

    Wow …. That’s a terrific response to staying here. We know this is a special place but really glad to share it with you. I’m not sure I have Ferrell status yet after 25 years here but I’ll try to get there …. Slowly. Glad it got to you as it has for us. Hope to see you again. Sunshine and tranquility await your next visit for a chill session, lambs, cows, hens, songbirds … we can do it all, hopefully Property Owner
