“Superb break away and beautiful scenery”

This stay is a little gem. Very high quality facilities and private yet sociable site with thoughtful details. We loved everything and the golf buggies were really fun. Very beautiful surroundings, top marks from us!

“The thoughtful details in our Shepard hut and throughout the whole site was delightful and turned our short-break into a really pleasurable experience.”

The hosts have clearly put a lot of effort into creating a high quality, relaxing and friendly site, with sustainable and eco friendly considerations. We absolutely loved it!

- Miss Bancalari, December 2019
“Lovely long weekend at the little shepherd hut.”

The hut is very warm and cosy even during last weekend's bad weather. The hot tub was perfect after a busy day. The golf carts are a great idea to get you to and from the hut. Lovely welcome pack when we arrived. Would, definitely visit again although probably when the weather is better to appreciate the views and scenery even more

“An absolutely luxurious and fully equipped practically brand-new Shepherd's Hut (lucky shepherd!”

) The underfloor heating and wood burning stove, combined with full insulation, was more than adequate to heat the hut, in cool but not freezing conditions. The golf buggy to transport luggage from the car was a fun novelty. Super comfortable bed, and lovely welcome basket with apple juice, eggs and honey all from Peter and Lisa at Little Silver House, and other goodies too (a bottle of wine, cheese scones, coffee, shortbread) Amazon echo a really nice touch..instant music on request. Excellent shower in the tiny but well designed bathroom, and the hot tub, of which we made full use morning and evening, was wonderful, especially in the dark under the stars. Lots of info about the surrounding area; a very pleasant walk up to the pub in High Bickington, with magnificent views of the surrounding countryside. The excellent looking village shop closes at 1pm on Saturday, by the way. All in all, a wonderful cosy weekend. Thank you Peter and Lisa

“Absolute delight”

Absolutely lovely peaceful and relaxing .the owners have literally thought of everything and the welcoming basket best I've ever seen

- Karenw1979, October 2019
“Our stay at Little Silver Leaf was absolutely perfect.”

The views from the hut and hot tub are stunning and extremely private. The welcome basket was a lovely surprise and the hosts were incredibly helpful. If you need a place to relax and unwind, you would struggle to find anywhere better than Little Silver Leaf. Within an hour of arriving home, we have starting looking at dates to return! Thank you for a wonderful stay - we would not change a single thing.

“The photos of the hut do not do it justice.”

A great deal of care and thought has obviously gone into the set up and the results are amazing. The huts are nicely secluded on a hill side with amazing views something shared with the hot tub. Inside the hut is a cosy area just perfect for two, it is well laid out and comes with all you would need for a break. The need to use a golf cart is a surprise but when you get to the hut you can understand why and to have cars being used would ruin the tranquil setting, it was however a big challenging with the amount of rain. The host also provide the most amazing welcome basket full of local treats and a very comprehensive guide book to the local area. If you want a quiet relaxing break in beautiful surroundings then this is definitely the place to go.

- Mr Bennett, October 2019
“The shepherds huts were fantastic.”

Very well equipped, cosy and comfortable. The hot tub was fantastic and secluded. The hosts were available if anything was needed and provided a lovely welcome basket with home made goodies in. We had a very relaxing break that even the weather couldn't spoil. I would definitely return.

- Smith, September 2019
“We lived the golf cart and was fun to drive back and fourth!”

It was lovely and clean, hot tub was an added bonus! The welcome basket was a lovely surprise! We had a lovely relaxing stay, and would love to go back.

- Miss Farminer, September 2019
“Little Silver Leaf was absolutely beautiful.”

We were greeted by Peter who was so friendly, he showed us round and made sure we were comfortable. The hut itself was spotless, there was everything we could ever needed inside the hut, the owners are very thoughtful and leave an amazing gift basket on arrival which was such a bonus. The hot tub was lovely and clean and very relaxing especially at night watching the stars. Little silver is very quiet and peaceful with views of the river, Old railway and fields with cattle. The owners provide a guide which is extremely useful and very well written, its very informative about the local area and the best pubs/ restaurants. We absolutely loved celebrating my partners 30th bday here and hope to be back soon.
