Mrs Tiller
We had a wonderful time at Shepherd's Watch. It was great to be on a farm and wake up every morning to see the hens and sheep. We also had a good friend in the peacock and her chicks. The cottage was perfect for our needs and really cosy. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute and would definitely come back in the future.

A very comfortable stay, cannot fault property or care given by the owner. Nothing too much trouble. One word of advise driving down Capps lane … turn off your sat nav and follow written instructions as mine said turn right … please don’t …
Mrs Tiff
