Bosulla Shepherds Hut Reviews

We had a very relaxing and sunny break at the Bosulla Shepherds hut, we would definitely book again.

Rebecca

We had an absolutely delightful stay here, the shepherds hut was truly beautiful, set in tranquil surroundings and filled with everything you could possibly need. The attention to detail, both inside the hut and the grounds it was nestled in were exceptional. The owners have really thought of everything to make the stay enjoyable and unforgettable. The shepherds hut and grounds were absolutely spotless and so well maintained. The log fired hot tub was a lovely relaxing addition at the end of the day and if your a stargazer then there are plenty of shooting stars to be seen from here. We loved being surrounded by nature, watching the wild rabbits in the field opposite while listening to the birds. It felt like we were staying at a wellness retreat and we really didnt want to come home. Massive thankyou to the super friendly owners for our amazing stay here, this truly is a magical place.

We absolutely loved the shepherd's hut and gardens. .. beautiful. We had all we needed thank you. The only thing we thought would help anyone else staying was that the coffee cafatiere was tiny and only for one person and there was two of us. This meant a lot of emptying and refilling which meant we didn't get to sit down together for our coffee at the same time. Easily fixed..needs a two person cafatiere. Apart from that.. brilliant

Cute, cosy and secluded. Well maintained shepherds hut in its own grounds. Very happy with the stay there for 7nights for my partner and I. Complementary bottle of wine on arrival and lovely and clean. Would definitely recommend and use Sykes again.

Heliene

We had a great time at The Bosulla Shepherd Hut. The hut is located in a beautiful and secluded place. Our host was very kind and helpful. We loved it.

Absolutely amazing! We booked for 7 nights for a relaxing week and that's exactly what we got! The shepherds hut was well equipped, the log burner was lovely. The hot tub was brilliant and we used it every day, We even had robes for when we got out which was a lovely touch as was the bottle of wine which was waiting for us in the fridge! The post code provided takes you to the exact place which was handy. It's a very remote location and phone signal was very poor but this worked in our favour as we were able to completely switch off and relax. Thanks so much for a wonderful experience.

Heerlijke week gehad, rust, natuur en relaxen

Cathryn

Our stay was perfect. It provided us with the few days away we needed. We would definitely stay again....Thank you.

Emiliano

We had a lovely stay at Bosulla Shepherds Hut. Everything was perfect, Hot tub takes 1.30 hrs to heat and it is easy to deal with. Mattress a bit soft but ok for a couple of days. Highly recommended.

Wonderful peaceful location just outside Penzance. The Shepherds hut was so cozy especially with the stormy weather we were having in January. We spent 7 nights here and we didnt want it to end. There was a wooden shelter outside with lovely lights around which we would sit during the evening. The location was so good for touring a lovely part of Cornwall.The Shepherds hut was very clean with a very comfortable bed.We hope to return again in the near future.

Gordon

On Arrival to Penzance the weather was terrible, we followed instructions to the destination but overshot the gated entrance and ended up getting lost. Very remote but once we got our bearings was a delight. Being without phone signal and WiFi was great, no pressures from home, very quite, private and secluded, if this is what you want you're in for a treat. The Shepard's hut was very clean, well thought out with everything you need. Comfy and compact. Lovely option of a fire fuelled hot tub and in dry sunny weather outside seating. We have a lovely few days away visiting all the sights of Penzance, St Ives and all the little villages tucked away, Marazion and St Michaels Mount being our main focus. 4 nights weren't really long enough but really enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

All good, thank u

Anthony

Such a beautiful secluded location. The way the site has been set out, nestled in a little opening in the trees and surrounded by huge bolders and fox gloves is really special. Everything was very clean and looks very new still. Only a few miles from penzance and quite close to St Ives. We will definitely go back again.

Superb. Idyllic. Peaceful. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Didnt use the hot tub as it took too long to heat but the other facilities couldnt fault. Will definitely be back.

We had a peaceful and very comfortable stay at Bosulla Shepards hut. Perfect location away in the middle of countryside and internet signal was limited which meant we enjoyed each others company rather than playing on our phones. The bed was super comfy and the view from The little window view was gorgeous and relaxing. You could even make tea from your bed!!

The shepherds hut was beautiful and warm especially in the horrid weather we had. The bed was comfortable and made it very cosy for the new year.

Beautiful and well laid out accommodation. The one thing I would say is the stones walking up to the hut can be slippery and uneven, so be careful. The other thing is signage could be better from the road. Otherwise beautiful location and certainly very peaceful

Caroline

Absolutely delightful property and decor and cleanliness fantastic. Quite remote but just what we wanted. Definitely will be booking to stay again.

Bosulla hut was absolutely everything you could ask for . Its perfect for couples who want to get away from the hustle & bustle of everyday life . Its soooo peaceful and beautiful. So cosy . We had to contact the owners to see if we could stay another night unfortunately it was booked but in seconds Michael & Daniel was on hand and lovely people . We cant wait to go back

Trevor

Very quiet and secluded very rural to rural but beautiful should put fake grass in cabana rather than wood chips

Selcuk

Cozy hut with a great view, surrounded by beautiful scenery. In the morning, birds chirp, and in the evenings, it becomes foggy and silent.
