    Lovely hut but obviously theres not much room and sadly the bed was very uncomfortable but we had a lovely stay overall and it was such a gorgeous place

  • Jack

    We were met on arrival and taken to our hut along with our luggage on a golf buggy. Brendan and his team are lovely and happy to answer any questions. The hot tub was heated up ready for arrival so we could go straight in. The hut was idyllic with all the kitchen utensils you could need, the huts positioned perfectly to allow everyone privacy and their own area. Shepard hut is situated next to a private lake off to the side of the main lake the other huts are on giving you the perfect place to sit and relax. The views are amazing, this is the perfect place to relax and get away. The local area is so peaceful, with just a short walk to the pub, The George and Dragon with some beautiful alpaca greeting you on the way. We will definitely return again.

    We were taken down to the hut in a buggy which was a really nice touch! Our hot tub was warmed for us on arrival. I’d say overall one of the best places we have stayed, definitely 5* and we will definitely be returning!
