Shepherd’s Delight far exceeded our expectations in every way. The welcome was wonderful, the location absolutely perfect, and the property itself nothing short of first-class. We were after a short break to escape the busyness of modern life, and what we experienced was exactly what we needed. Paul and Barbara were incredible hosts. We couldn't have asked for better. Suffice to say, this certainly won’t be our last visit to Shepherd’s Delight...

Incredible that such a peaceful and idyllic setting is so close to a busy city. Perfect for recharging your batteries and listening to wonderful bird song, we had a truly blissful stay. The hut is equipped with everything one needs. Having the canopy outside the hut offers good shelter should there be any rain. Paul was quick to respond when we notified him of the gas finishing, the bottle was replaced soon after. Would highly recommend !...

Ms Pratten September 2024
We had a wonderful stay at the Shepherd’s Delight - it was truly a slice of heaven. The setting was secluded and tranquil and we loved looking out across the pond and listening to the birdsong. The whole stay was so relaxing, even in spite of the torrential rain - we put the log burner on and were so cosy in our little cabin that the rain didn’t matter at all. Perfect....
