The setting: private and beautiful, with a large garden, fire pit and BBQ. The shepherds hut was lovely: very clean and the bed was very comfortable. The hosts were lovely and helped us out when we got a flat tyre.

The hut was very comfortable and warm. The massive garden was fantastic for our dog. There is a large supermarket about 5 minutes drive away, and a really nice pub (which does excellent and very large meals) about 15 minutes walk.
