We stayed at Shepherd's Rest for our 2nd wedding anniversary and despite the weather, we had the best time! Richard & Nic are amazing hosts, they really have put so much thought into the hut! It was clean, comfortable and every detail has been thought of! The location is fab too, lots of local walks and beaches within a short drive. The village has a pub and local shop (the shop sells the most amazing pasties and quiche). We're not 'walkers' but we walked to St Willow and it was so pretty! Thank you for recommending it! In terms of being dog friendly, it was great - 100% secure. We didn't have to worry about her escaping! She had the best time too, running around chasing the ball! There is no doubt that we will be back! Thank you for a wonderful stay x...

Had a wonderful stay - location was perfect for us to explore the south west coastal paths and catch the passenger ferry over to Fowey for the day amongst the many other things to do. Very relaxing and peaceful a lovely little haven for just sitting and enjoying a spot of fishing in the lakes. Popped into the village along the footpath which is just a 5-10 min walk away - can thoroughly recommend the pasties from the village store! Pretty little walk along the river crossing the stepping stones and a lovely place to sit alongside the river and have an ice cream. Had a great welcome from the geese each day and saw the latest little ducklings hatch and spotted the local heron and kingfisher several times plus some tiny baby frogs hopping about. The hut itself was perfect and very well equipped with lots of storage, the bed was extremely comfortable and the shower was the best we have ever had. Made use of the bbq hut near the bottom lake and the extra full size fridge in the smaller hut was such a welcome bonus. Perfect hosts - very helpful and friendly and always on hand if you need anything. We are very much looking forward to coming back - missing it already!!...

This shepherds hut is secluded in the most fantastic location - the owners have thought of everything - they are so friendly and welcoming. We had a relaxing break with gorgeous weather - we were able to sit outside with a beautiful view over the surrounding countryside and our dogs loved running around and swimming in the pond. It is a 10 minute stroll to Lerryn which is a picture postcard village with a pub and a shop. There are loads of lovely places to visit within a 10 mile radius - can’t recommend it enough if you enjoy tranquility and nature. ...

If this represents the quality of properties on this site then we will enjoy many more, the Shepherds hut is 10x better than the photos (which already made it look a amazing) to anyone looking at staying here - do so, you won’t be disappointed.

Don’t hesitate to book! This place is idyllic! The views and grounds are beautiful, so well kept and perimeter is secure for dogs so really gave us peace of mind. You will not want to miss the sunsets here- especially in the BBQ hut! The shepherds hut really does have everything you could ask for, the storage is pretty amazing in a small space. There was even an ironing board and a slow cooker somehow tucked away! We wanted and needed for nothing! Bring some DVDs too as the tv has a built in player. The shower was nicer than our shower at home, we were really surprised what they managed in a small space. Probably the best nights sleep we’ve had in ages. We have a bit of a nervous dog, so we were cautious about taking him away, but the hosts could not have been more accommodating. The place was super quiet, secure and away from any busy loud spots- it made our worries slip away and he had a wonderful time. Highly recommend and we will definitely be returning! ...
