We had the most wonderful stay in this superb shepherd’s hut! Nestled on a beautiful farm with breathtaking views, it was the perfect countryside escape. The hut itself was spotlessly clean, extremely comfortable, and had absolutely everything we needed for a relaxing break.The hot tub was a real treat, especially under the stars, and we had so much fun firing up the pizza oven for an evening feast. Our hosts were fantastic – warm, welcoming, and always on hand if we needed anything, yet respectful of our privacy. We honestly didn’t want to leave and have already decided we’ll be coming back. I can’t recommend this place highly enough – go and stay, you’ll love it as much as we did!...

Me and my partner loved The Crook. The host Nick was lovely and very welcoming. The shepherd hut was extremely thought out, very clean and great decor. We loved all the extras; the hot tub, pizza oven, fire pit, games, beautiful scenery and extremely friendly sheep! Would highly recommend this stay, for a relaxing, back to nature trip! Thank you so much!...

We booked the Crook during May half term for a relaxing break. We live in a city so we wanted peace and quiet. And we got exactly that. We were surrounded by fields, trees, sheep and birds. The hut is perfectly suited for 2 people and there is everything provided to make the stay comfortable. There is different seating area depending on your mood: the egg chair, the table and chairs with a chimnea, the loungers, the seating inside with a wood burner. The hot tub was a very pleasing and relaxing experience. The owner was.very helpful in setting it up for us. Bathrobes are provided and they were well appreciated. The owners are very thoughtful, providing fresh milk, biscuits, cider bottles, tea bags and coffee. They can also arrange pizza dough and a bbq pack. You can either stay in the hut and make the most of the facilities provided, or you can visit the area. We walked to Perry's cider and the Donnington pub....
