Nicolae
Every thing was great, clean, quiet and relaxing place, but as a simple advice you have to bring one extra fire wood bagcheaper from supermarkets if you do more than a day and 2 nights. ..
Raphael
Absolutely lovely Shepherds Hut. The only negative is when the weather is hot it gets a tad unbearable in the hut temperature wise. Could possibly do with a little more seclusion to make the hot tub area a little more private but it wasnt a big issue.
Only negative feedback would say the jacuzzi needs some regular treatment to clean. Other than..... Loved every minute.
Calvin
Had a fantastic time, property was clean and had everything needed provided even oven gloves Hosts reached out a couple of days prior to arrival date to offer to preheat the hot tub. Hotelgrounds beautifully maintained and there was an informative welcome booklet advising on local amenities. Weather was hot with little breeze which made the property a little sticky but we spent the evenings outside so didn't impact on us to much. We only used the kingsized bed which was very comfortable. If we had brought the littles along a fancooling unit would of been very welcomed. We will defiantly be rebooking, such a lovely property.
Graham
What an absolutely superb property! Immaculate condition, perfect size for a family trip. Even more exciting it has a proper oven to cook in! Shower was fabulous. All beds were exceptionally comfy. Layout, fixtures and fittings well thought out. Perfect! Hot tub does take over 2 hours to warm as publicised. Need to bring kindling or it is available in the restaurant reception. What a hot tub though it was amazingly relaxing under the stars. May need to bring some oven gloves as none in the property but didnt spoil our time!! What a fabulous gem!!
