Shepherd's hut
Liked: Booked on Friday night for arrival on Saturday- everything ready, big fluffy towels, even homemade biscuits & fresh milk😍
First time staying in a shepherds hut.
Nice private area- you are the only ones here so no sharing facilities; just the Shetland pony & donkey next door.
Hayley, the host made us very welcome.
Handy booklet with ideas for places to visit (of which there are many)& local restaurants/ takeaways. We loved the Kolshi Indian restaurant in Wellesbourne.
Disliked: The only very, very minor thing is the proximity to A429- this road has cut through the farm- that’s progress ☹️but if you’re a petrol head bring your binoculars and watch the supercars & bikes on their way to / from Caffeine & machine just up the road.

Shepherd's hut
Liked: Loved the whole place! Beautiful space, beautiful shepherds hut, the facilities provided were really good and it was quiet. Lovely to be able to walk around the village and to the village pub. The homemade biscuits were also a treat!
Disliked: Absolutely nothing to dislike! The only issue we had was it rained the majority of the time so we will definitely have to come back when the weather is better to really make the most of the outside space provided

Shepherd's hut
Liked: Quiet, spacious, warming space. Lovely for a quick get away in a small village. Close attractions such as Diddily Squat farm, caffeine and machine, and Shakespeares town.
The added extras makes the trip very easy… included bedding, towels, logs (for heating), battery power, shower, toilet, foil, utensils. Ect.
Located on a working farm, and neighbours to a little donkey and Shetland pony. Who are very friendly and love a fuss.

Shepherd's hut
Liked: Me and my boyfriend stayed here for 2 nights and absolutely loved it. It had everything you could need! The bed was sooo comfortable and the hut with the shower and toilet along with little kitchen was so good. Couldn’t fault it and Hayley the host was so helpful. The little touches of flapjacks, biscuits and milk was lovely. The donkey and the little pony next door was lovely. The local pub the chequers inn was amazing.
Disliked: The toilet was a little hard to get used to.
