Such a beautiful location and quiet which was what was required, was so nice to have immediateRead more hot water in both huts (we were surprised) So much thought put into lovely accommodation! Hide

The shepherds huts are exactly as described. Absolutely perfect for a short getaway - which this was for us. The seclusion is awesome. The view is great. We were very lucky with the weather which was brilliant and meant that most of the time we spent there was outside. Breakfast in the sun and dinner outside with the fire pit with the sun going dowRead moren behind you. If you were to have poor weather then be prepared for it to be cosy inside. Hide
