If you are looking to stay somewhere a little different from usual but with all of the luxuries you require in a secluded spot but with village amenities, an authentic pub serving fantastic food and a small shop within walking distance, then definitely consider this little gem. The shepherds lodge is cleverly fitted out with luxury furnishings and the hot tub on the decking is the icing on the cake along with the very private outdoor space and views. My husband and I stayed for 4 nights and would have loved to stay longer. We enjoyed a lovely country walk from the lodge and saw red deer in the forest which was a bonus for me. We explored lots of beautiful villages and towns by car including Instow, Appledore and Clovelly but we were happy to spend a rainy afternoon in the lodge reading and watching the many varieties of birds in the garden as it was so cosy. I would recommend a 1 to 1 yoga session at the lodge with Sian whose details are given in the write up about the Shepherds Lodge. She will tailor the session to your ability and there was something very special about practicing yoga in privacy on a decking with such beautiful views and Sian is a lovely and unjudgemental lady. Thanks so much to Nikki and Spence the very welcoming owners for the fabulous welcome pack and for thinking of everything to make our stay so enjoyable. You have a wonderful place!...

Horseshoe Shepherds hut is a must if you cherish, peace and tranquility, love walks or just sitting in the large garden area and admiring the birds, squirrels, chickens and ambience. The hot tub is fab for a treat at the end of the days activities. Local pub is just 5 mins walk and offers friendly service and delicious meals. Definitely rate our stay here 10/10....

This was our 5th visit to Horseshoe and won’t be our last. Nikki and Spence are so kind and thoughtful, especially with the lovely goodies they are fabulous hosts. The weather wasn’t great this time but we enjoyed the hot tub, log burner and the peace and quiet. Meals at the local pubs were excellent....

This was our second visit to Horseshoe and we were so excited to return. Nikki and Spence are the best hosts and we were greeted with freshly baked scones, cakes and biscuits! The hut has everything you need and we loved making use of the hot tub and log burner. The pub next door is also fab! We had yet again a great stay and can’t wait to come back for a third time. ...
