Little Otchan Shepherd's Hut Reviews

Jeremy
Lovely secluded spot. Very relaxing.
Booked as a last minute getaway literally that morning and couldn't be more impressed with what we found! ! The location, hot tub and facilities were exactly what was needed for a pause on general 'daily life'. Only recommendations, it would have been nice if shrubbery in front of lodge was cut back so that we could enjoy the view of the pond too and maybe a fly net installed on door otherwise it was an opportunity to embrace nature as a whole and Happy Memories have been made during our time here. Will definitely be looking into coming back again
Such a beautiful place, I will definitely be back. Although we went to the beach most days we had our evenings cooking food outside and enjoying the hot tub. Stayed with my 16 year old son who lives on his phone, excellent phone signal.
Lovely Shepherds Hut located in an idyllic woodland spot, with pond, hot tub, outdoor seating, hammock, fire pit and arbour. Very isolated although convenient for access to local villages, Withernsea etc with just a short drive The position provide total privacy, perfect for a peaceful relaxing break. We were blessed with the weather and loved watching the night skies, and embracing the outdoor life. It would have been nice to view the pond from ground level, but the bushes surrounding it were quite overgrown. We personally found, that the fridge was too small and that the indoor cooking facilities were limited but this did not spoil our break. As advised when booking there is no WiFi but the network coverage was excellent. I would highly recommend this impeccably clean, comfortable, peaceful Shepherds Hut to anyone seeking a relaxing.... get away from it all break!
I took my mrs for 7 nights she adored the hut and views so quiet. Nice hot tub at night under the fancy lights. We will deffo be back to this hut the location is perfect.shops and pubs 6 minute drive away..we didnt use the pubs as i could not get my mrs away from the hut..perfect all round..only fault i could find is the bushes out side hut need cutting as couldnt see pool....
Andrew
Had an amazing night in the shepherds hut will definitely be coming back
We arrived during a storm, very strong winds and rain but that had no affect on how warm and comfy we were inside, the log fire was wonderful. Books, mini games and dvds all there for enjoyment. Comfy bed and good night sleep. Coffee outside with the pond. So peaceful. Hot tub was very nice, heard a few owls nearby whilst soaking away. This hut has all you need.
Beautiful location, remote with stunning views. The hut was so cozy, comfortable bed and equipped with everything you could need.
Rachael
It really doesn't get much better than this. The perfect hideaway reset. It's peaceful and secluded and you really feel like it's just you and the bunnies. Wether hot tubbing under the stars or smores for breakfast, it is a beautiful reminder of how easy life should be.
Bethany
