The presence of alpacas and donkeys adds charm to the secluded location, which is also convenient for exploring local attractions. The retreat's well-equipped facilities and private garden are noted, making for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.
Reviewers are unanimous in mentioning the immaculate condition of the shepherd's hut, indicating a high standard of cleanliness.
The farm's location is well-regarded for its lovely views and proximity to Hadrian's wall and other places of interest, making it an ideal base for exploration.
Comfort is highlighted with guests finding the shepherd's hut cosy and comfortable, with a special mention of the enjoyable views from the comfort of the hut.
The shepherd's hut is described as well-equipped, though one guest suggested the addition of a sharp knife and scissors. The enclosed garden and the variety of animals on the farm add to the facilities' appeal.
While guests appreciate the farm eggs and milk provided, there is not enough information to assess the consistency of such thoughtful gestures across all stays, and they should not be expected as guaranteed amenities.

We had a lovely week in the shepherd’s hut - cosy, clean, well set out with everything you need including some lovely farm eggs and milk! Secluded with Alpacas and donkeys for company and lovely views. Jeff is really friendly, keen to make sure everything is fine and full of helpful information. The farm is very well located for Hadrian’s wall and lots of other places of interest. We would definitely stay again.

Beautiful views from the hut. The hut is based on a farm which is also a registered caravan/camp site but completely enclosed so feels private. The alpacas are nosey but not intrusive neighbours being in the field directly in front of the hut. Geoff the owner is very friendly and enjoys a good natter.Would consider another visit.
