This is a Beautiful cozy shepards hut in a lovely peaceful area, with a private garden which i made the most of.

It has everything you need, the bed was lovely and comfy the shower was perfect. I loved having a tv for the evenings. I would love to return in the colder mnths to use the log burner ! This was a last minute booking for me as I needed a break away from caring, I was feeling very low and exhausted. The time spent here has been amazing. The host left some snacks, milk and flowers for my arrival and it was so appreciated. Highly recommend a stay and I look forward to returning

Return visit ; we stayed at Ewes welcome a week.

A lovely private place surrounded by nature. Lots of life in the forest next to the shepherd hut. My doggie enjoyed her stay in the secure garden during the pleasant weather occasion. The welcome food was appreciated, especially the milk ; I had forgotten to pack. The owners are nice people; there if needed and live nearby. Decent places to eat out and shops are local. Each visit I learn something different about the place. Thank-you; We hope to return again hopefully this year. Julie and Amie
