such a lovely place, so many little touches and attention to detail.

We had a lovely stay at the Shepherds Hut. It is set in a beautiful location and was the perfect place to relax and unwind. The hot tub and BBQ were lovely additions. We would definitely recommend and hope to return,

We had an absolutely lovely stay at the Shepherds Hut. Nikki and Spence the owners were so welcoming and they’ve really built a little slice of heaven in the countryside. The pictures don’t do it justice. Exactly what we wanted for our week away, and we’re sure we’ll be looking to stay again!

It felt like a little piece of heaven. So beautiful& tranquil.

Don’t know where to start! The place and everything about it was just amazing!! Nikki and Spence were super hosts, really lovely couple. The hot tub was great after a day of exploring. Every little detail was spot on, everything you would need was there. The bathroom was so spacious and the bed was very comfy. I would highly recommend and will definitely be going back

We had a truly wonderful stay at The Horseshoe. It exceeded our expectations more than we could have imagined and Nikki & Spence went above and beyond to make our trip a very special one. We had booked this trip as a substitute for what should have been our wedding day and honestly couldnt have asked for a better way to spend it, all our wedding blues were banished from the start right up until the end of our stay.

We cannot recommend The horseshoe enough and Nikki and Spence were the ultimate super hosts. We will be sure to return!

We had the most lovely, relaxing and special break at your beautiful lodge. Nicki and Spence were so hospitable and friendly which made us feel very at home. Also, very kindly they left us some lovely treats (Prosecco, scones & chocolates) to start our break which were very well received : ) We did some lovely walks and runs to the river, and the local pub does amazing pizza on a Wednesday..! The hot tub and the beautiful garden made the lodge stand out for us. And we really enjoyed our daily visit from Zeus the family cat. Would highly recommend and hope to make it back there again :) Caroline & Dean xx

We had a lovely stay in February at Nikki & Spence's beautiful secluded hut. Its the best hut we have stayed at and we plan to go back when the weather is better. Great location for cycling, walking and running so was perfect for us! The Exeter Inn (very close by) is a lovely cosy pub, we enjoyed good service and a lovely meal for two. James & Rachael

The hosts were amazing. Prosecco and tiffin on arrival. Lovely varied selection of teas and coffees available too. Fab hot tub. Great pub serving food 200m away. It was our birthday and they even made us a cake. Couldn’t fault them. Would love to visit again.

This was better than we could ever have imagined! And the owners are the nicest people you will ever meet. We will one thousand present be back and I recommend to All! The attention to details is insane! And there are woods at the end of the garden with a beautiful stream and we even got to see deer. I wish we could give this place more stars because we have never been anywhere nearly as good as this!

Likely to be the best SH you've ever stayed in - definitely better than the average.........................:)

The Horseshoe Shepherd’s hut was truly delightful and we felt very privileged to be its first guests. Set in a lovely orchard we relished the tranquility and peace of the countryside and watching the birds and other wildlife surrounding us. The owners Nikki and Spence could not have been more friendly and helpful. The hut itself is beautifully finished to the highest standard and the hugely generous welcome pack of goodies included home made scones and bread and lots more besides. The village and surrounding area is stunning with several lovely pubs to eat out and despite being so rural it’s not far from the beaches and other popular tourist attractions should you wish to strike out. Would definitely recommend.
