We had a very pleasant stay in Shepherd's Hut 2. It was very clean and well equipped,and as described. The only thing that could have made it better was comfortable seats inside, difficult I know because of the limited space,we brought them in from the veranda. As it was we spent more time outside on the veranda in the fresh air and as the garden was enclosed our dog thoroughly enjoyed the freedom. We would still recommend this property. Thank you to Pete and Jane for the lovely welcome hamper. We would definitely go back but perhaps to a cottage.Lesley, Maurice and Charli.
