Grounds were severely overgrown and full of nettles. The sherpards hut has no storage, nowhere to put your clothes/ bags etc. Very cramped. The bed was extremely comfortable and towels and linens immaculate. The hot tub had unfortunately been set to 42 degrees and so was far to hot to go in. The doors to the hut are warped so difficult to lock, when we managed only the top locks were secured. Over all we were disappointed, for the price we paid we expected more. This could be an amazing little getaway with a bit of tlc and more thought for what a couple would need to be comfortable for a few days.

Had a lovely weekend stay. It's in a very secluded spot which is just what we wanted. The hot tub was great. The host communicated with us in advance which was appreciated. The only issues we had was that the blind didn't close on the small window and the fridge didn't really keep things very cold. We would happily stay there again.
