South Down shepherd's hut
Liked: I stayed in one of the Shepherd Huts and although only there for 1 night in early January, I had the best experience! The hut is cleverly designed and beautifully decorated inside, with features you’d expect in a nice hotel room. Double sized shower, contemporary bathroom, soft fluffy towels. Even fresh eggs, milk and a couple of homemade cupcakes! The kitchen was well equipped and the double bed was incredibly comfortable… one of the best nights sleep I’ve ever had! The hut was warm and cosy and Helen the host was attentive & friendly . Check in was easy.
Disliked: Nothing at all, it was all lovely

Texel shepherd's hut (no pets)
Liked: We loved everything about this little shepherds hut. A great place to escape the noise and rush of town/city life. I was really cosy and comfortable with everything you needed. Hosts were really friendly and very quick with communication. We will definitely book again and book another accommodation so we can include our 2 girls and 2 dogs.

Texel shepherd's hut (no pets)
Liked: I chose this campsite because they were happy to take one night whereas lots of others wanted a minimum of two nights at the weekend. We really found a gem of a site. From the beginning, we were given plenty of information to make us feel welcome and prepared. We got in touch with the owners in advance and they answered our query about the cars very quickly and easily. The site seemed lovely and I'm only sad that we arrived in the dark so didn't get to see it in the daylight other than briefly as we left. I loved all the little details like loose leaf tea in the container and eggs and milk in the fridge. I was a bit worried about the bathroom as we hadn't seen any pictures in advance but I didn't need to worry as it was a very decent, small but therefore warm, bathroom which I felt was essential for a visit in November! It was such a nice space and I would love to come back again and sit out around the fire pit and watch the stars. It was a beautifully clear night and there is no light pollution but that did make it about 1C so we didn't sit out this time! The owners had obviously thought of lots of little touches as there was a torch and spare blanket in case we forgot our own, a little collection of games and a selection of cleaning bits so it really felt like a family home rather than a hotel which is exactly what we were looking for.
Disliked: I don't think there was anything that I disliked but if I am honest, I think I would have struggled with the space if I was there for a whole week. I would totally recommend the space/site for a short break away though.

From the manager: The little shepherd huts are wonderful, but probably better suited for a short break.
Excellent break, clean, friendly and quiet

Norfolk Horn shepherd's hut (no pets)
Liked: The shepherds hit was clean, warm and comfortable. The owners went a long way to make guests feel welcome with little extras such a free cup cakes, milk and tea, marmalade, jam and bread etc in the fridge. We had a wonderful breakfast in the morning after a good night sleep.
Disliked: It was a bit small compared to our house but what do you expect, we are were staying in a shepherds hut. No Wi-Fi but that was actually quite nice
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Glad you enjoyed your breakfast, that was delivered cooked to your door.
