We had an absolutely lovely stay at the Shepherds Hut. Nikki and Spence the owners were so welcoming and they’ve really built a little slice of heaven in the countryside. The pictures don’t do it justice. Exactly what we wanted for our week away, and we’re sure we’ll be looking to stay again!...

Don’t know where to start! The place and everything about it was just amazing!! Nikki and Spence were super hosts, really lovely couple. The hot tub was great after a day of exploring. Every little detail was spot on, everything you would need was there. The bathroom was so spacious and the bed was very comfy. I would highly recommend and will definitely be going back...

We had a truly wonderful stay at The Horseshoe. It exceeded our expectations more than we could have imagined and Nikki & Spence went above and beyond to make our trip a very special one. We had booked this trip as a substitute for what should have been our wedding day and honestly couldnt have asked for a better way to spend it, all our wedding blues were banished from the start right up until the end of our stay. We cannot recommend The horseshoe enough and Nikki and Spence were the ultimate super hosts. We will be sure to return!...

We had the most lovely, relaxing and special break at your beautiful lodge. Nicki and Spence were so hospitable and friendly which made us feel very at home. Also, very kindly they left us some lovely treats (Prosecco, scones & chocolates) to start our break which were very well received : ) We did some lovely walks and runs to the river, and the local pub does amazing pizza on a Wednesday..! The hot tub and the beautiful garden made the lodge stand out for us. And we really enjoyed our daily visit from Zeus the family cat. Would highly recommend and hope to make it back there again :) Caroline & Dean xx...
