Beautiful and spacious Shepard’s Hut in a lovely peaceful location. Well equipped and super clean. The Hot Tub was fantastic and always ready to enjoy. The hosts are very welcoming and nearby if you have any questions. The homemade treats and fresh eggs were greatly appreciated and were absolutely delicious. We had a super peaceful and relaxing weekend and would highly recommend Horseshoe Hut to our friends and family....

Horseshoe cottage was truly delightful, a real treat with a wood burner and hot tub. It has been furnished with love and all the little details show this. Very high standard of cleanliness and I will definitely be returning and recommending to friends and family. Also, the nearby pub does an amazing Sunday roast. ...
