wonderful shepherds hut experience

relaxing hutfriendly drivertasty food
We received an upgrade to a shepherds hut before our arrival. It was so good. the hut felt relaxing and homely. we also visited the spa, which wasn't overcrowded, and later enjoyed a takeaway delivered by a friendly on-site driver, the food tasted delicious and it was cooked very well.
the car park near our one bedroom cottage was quite muddy, so we had to carry our suitcases. it was only a minor inconvenience.
