A beautiful and peaceful setting combined with thoughtful hospitality made for a relaxed break.
Pros:

The arrangement of the rooms in a restored barn set around a garden area was lovely and peaceful. The bedrooms were comfortable and well equipped both with good showers. Perhaps time for a TV upgrade because without apps such as Netflix and IPlayer it’s not so easy to find a good film.
The breakfast was good with excellent coffee and the evening meals were also good. Rose who was our main person on the service front was kind and hospitable.

Cons:

Nothing

In all a very pleasant overnight stay.
Pros:

I arrived at noon on Christmas Day so there were no staff on site although a telephone number was provided for any problems arising. There was no heating on in the Shepherds Hut where I stayed but two electric heaters were provided and these I used. I left in an hour to join friends locally for lunch and returned early evening when the chill was gone. I subsequently lit the wood burning fire and within an hour I was sweltering as if in a sauna. The convenience, facilities and welcoming staff on the following morning were very much appreciated as was the delicious full breakfast served.

Cons:

Having to light my own fire, normally the butler’s job before I arise in the morning.

Really relaxing stay, a lovely secluded spot with friendly and welcoming staff.
Pros:

The shepherd’s hut was charming. Spotlessly clean, a really comfy bed with superb bedding and an excellent en-suite shower and lavy. Beautifully put together with high end fittings. Sweet little log store outside for chillier nights when you can light the burner and cosy up.

Cons:

Nothing!
