  We had the most Delightful stay for the last week in October.

  My partner and I were in awe by the views. The proprietor greeted us warmly shortly after our arrival to ensure we had everything we needed. There were several other Shepherd huts located on the beautiful land they own. We were able to glimpse some however others were well tucked away. Our hut was closest to the road / very large pond and we enjoyed spectacular sunsets and views overall. This meant some increased passers by but we didn’t find this intrusive. Several visits from cows while we cooked or played music. The interior of the hut was surprisingly big in comparison to others I’ve stayed in. It had everything we needed and all to a high spec. Plush towels, nice interior decoration, robes and romantic vibes. The en-suite was tight but useable and we preferred having the more spacious living area. The bed was SO comfy and log burner warmed us up really well. The main reason for booking was the covered hot tub and we were not disappointed. The lights in the tub itself didn’t work however the outside space had lots of exterior lighting and fairy lights which compensated. David tends to the tub daily which we were grateful for and given the time of year we simply recovered and allowed time for the tub to reheat when the temperature dropped. We would definitely return and I’m keen to possibly stay in some of the other huts too. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to our family and friends what isn’t to live - lush homemade shepherds pie and fizz thrown in!!

  We had the loveliest time here.

  We really did not want to leave after our short stay, it was so perfect for the two of us. The hut had everything we could possibly need inside and the wine, pies, robes and slippers were a lovely surprise that put big smiles on our faces! The grounds are beautiful, we spent most of our time looking over the water and surroundings, it just felt so perfect being nestled amongst the trees in this quiet slice of heaven. The wildlife around us was a bonus too and so nice to just spend time watching throughout the day. We loved that the owner was so lovely to chat to and loved hearing how the property has been built from the beginning. We were so sad to leave the beautiful surroundings and chilled out nights with the hot tub and amazingly comfy bed! This place could not be any more ideal in my eyes and we are already wanting to come back as soon as we can. It was perfect for us and the owners had made this getaway so welcoming and comfortable. Thank you for having us and allowing us to fully enjoy your beautiful and clean property. We cannot wait to book our next one with you as no where else has been anywhere near as perfect as yours. I would recommend anyone to stay here for a completely relaxing stay.

  Stayed here with my partner and we have stayed at many lodges before with hot tubs and this was certainly the best.

  It was so cute and cosy. Really clean. What we loved the most is that the small details have been thought out. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve stayed in a hot tub lodge and there is no where to hang your dressing gown or a place to put your drinks/belongings. So it ends up going on the floor and getting wet. These provided lovely dressing gowns, slippers and the hot tub area had lovely lights, a place to hang your stuff and a place for your drinks/mobile etc. The cover over the hot tub was great and meant you could use it regardless of the weather. The views were beautiful too and even though we didn’t meet the hosts personally, we felt very looked after. We were even given Shepard’s pies and a bottle of champers. Very personal and we will definitely return. Only thing was that the lights didn’t work in the hot tub which wasn’t an issue as the area itself had fairy lights and a main light if wanted. Thankyou for our stay!

  I booked this break for my husband's 40th Birthday.

  The aim was to relax and have some time to ourselves, which was so easy in this beautiful location. The shepherd's delight hut was so perfect. The hot tub was up to temperature as soon as we arrived and it was spotlessly clean. The view of the lake from the hot tub is gorgeous and the sound of nothing but birdsong was idyllic. The hut itself was also perfect. The bed was really comfortable and all the little things had been catered for including towels, dish cloth, tea towel, bath mats, slippers, robes, toiletries, washing up liquid etc. The homemade shepherd's pies are to die for and such a thoughtful touch. My husband and I didn't meet Brenda and Dave but did speak to their son, Chris, on arrival who was so friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. A lovely romantic, peaceful break and I'm sure we will certainly return (if we can palm the kids off again!!) Thank you.

  After a disastrous start to our annual leave due to storm arwen cancelling all of our plans .

  .. we were so pleased we were actually able to enjoy our stay at shepherds delight! We were greeted by David who made sure we were settled in and that everything was OK for us. The shepherds pie and bottle of fizz was a lovely touch, and the pies were amazing! The fairy light decor around the outdoor area was beautiful at night and the hot tub was a great size for just a 2 person accommodation, we have stayed at similar places where the hot tub has been tiny... this was a pleasant surprise! The homely touches to the decor inside are lovely and it is such a beautiful place to stay... Brenda and David really have thought about everything you might need and have provided it for you! We have already had lots of friends asking where we stayed as they loved our photographs and we have recommended it highly! Would definitely stay again! Thank you for a lovely break xx
