We had a lovely stay in the Shepards hut retreat.
We had a lovely stay in the Shepards hut retreat. Everything you need is there. Beautiful views and close to amenities. Had a nice meal in the pub which is dog friendly. The sheep were fun to watch from the hot tub. Owls at night, birds of prey during the day. Really relaxing break. Highly recommend staying there.
