You have a beautifully furnished shepherd's hut with everything you would possibly need. The park in general is well maintained and spotlessly clean. The surroundings are well cared for and thought as been put into the planting. We enjoyed our evenings in the hot tub ,we saw a young deer that came up to the fence briefly until it saw us. We watched dragonflies dancing over the corn field ,bats flying over at dusk. And enjoyed watching the moon rise all from the Woodford hot tub ,what more could you want? We will definitely be back at some point ,as still lots to explore within a few miles away.

The toilet room was quiet small with a small basin which made it difficult to wash face and hands but the shower was a very good size and plenty of hot water. The toilet seat was loose and needed tightening. Overall we had a very lovely weekend. Thank you to the owners.

The hot tub was one of the best things about the stay. The shepherds hut was very private which we also loved. The only thing I would say is during our stay the weather was very hot and the bedroom was 30+ degrees at night. It wouldâve been better for when we do have the hot weather if their was a fan to cool us done. Other than that, thank you for such a wonderful stay. Will highly recommend.
