    To jo and dean thank you for your lovely hospitality we had a great time with you we both thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and your cleaness of your shepherd's hut❣️❣️❣️

    The shepherds hut accommodation was very comfortable and clean, and beautifully decorated. It is situated within it's own private garden, where you can relax in the hot tub, and enjoy the views. The facilities available in the hut were just right, with plenty of hot water for the shower. Although you may want to get away from the trappings of modern life, having Wi-Fi available was essential to me, and it never let me down. The only thing that did let me down was my own ability to create a good fire for the hot tub. The owner, Dean, came to my rescue there, and got the temperature up to the perfect level. Dean and Jo were excellent hosts, with plenty of recommendations for places to eat, and of course Dean's fire building skills. I would definitely stay at La'al Ling again. Thanks Dean and Jo for a lovely stay.
