Fantastic weekend, with a beautiful view! Only thing I’d add is the fencing around the hut isn’t dog safe, as our dog got into the field with the alpacas, so she had to stay on the lead all weekend.

We're delighted you had a wonderfully relaxed holiday deep in the surrounding countryside next to the ancient oak which gives the Shepherd's hut its name. Our four-legged friends are so good at finding gaps to squeeze through in fencing we do request they are kept on a lead around the Alpacas and other livestock. We would love to welcome you back.

We had the perfect stay at Shepherd's Oak! Paul is an amazing host, easy to comunicate with and he let us check-in early and check-out late. When we arrive he explained us how to use the log burner hot tub and suggested few walks to do in the area. We stayed 3 nights and on our last day we came back after a day out and Paul's wife had empty, cleaned and got the hot tub to a perfect temperature for us; we thought that was such a lovely touch from the hosts, really appreciated! The shepherd's hut is so cosy and has all the kitchen equipment you need. Having alpacas as next door neighbour was so funny and they are such a great company. The place is secluded, private and so quiet, but at the same time you have the town just 5 minutes down the road. There is not a bad thing to say about this place, if you are looking for a little getaway to relax this is the perfect accommodation!...
