  • "The hut was amazing, it was the perfect getaway for me and my partner and we were very happy with the location and accommodation."

    The only slight trouble we had was that the shower only stayed hot for about two minutes and then it got really cold, but we managed and it didn’t ruin our trip.

  • "We absolutely enjoyed our stay."

    5 nights of pure bliss and relaxation. Being able to look up at the stars whilst sitting in the hot tub was immense. The location is perfect. Isolated enough to enjoy each others company and the beautiful countryside but only a short drive to the local pubs and shops. The hosts were amazing. Nothing was too much trouble and very happy to help where needed. Already looking at dates to return!

    Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. We are so glad our had a lovely time and look forward to welcoming you back! Property Owner

  • "For a really peaceful weekend away we really enjoyed this stay, the cottage was lovely and the owners were really friendly and helpful."

    We had a little explore into the village which had some really nice pubs to have a drink and relax. The only thing that was a struggle was the hot water on the shower but the owners were on hand and ready to help. We would definitely go again as we really enjoyed our stay.

    Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are so glad you had a wonderful time. Property Owner

  • "Absolutely loved it there."

    It was warm and welcoming, everything was easy to find and easy to use. Instructions were clear as was the communication throughout. The shepherd's hut was clean and tidy, more than comfortable. The area was quiet (until we turned up I'm sure) haha. Anyone we met on our walk and from the village of Morchard Bishop were very friendly and welcoming. I couldn't find the guest book as I would have loved to comment in there too! Only downside was that we couldn't stay for longer!! We would go back in a heart beat.

  • "I booked this stay as a wedding gift to my friends."

    When I contacted the hosts to see if they could arrange some kind of balloon set up for the newly weds, they were extremely accommodating, professional and absolutely lovely! My friends enjoyed their stay so much, they are looking forward to coming back! I cannot fault Josh and Charlotte at all - everything about their property was fantastic, the communication was amazing and I will definitely be recommending Moorview Retreat to others!
