Lillie's Shepherds Hut at Shepherds Lodge

• "We had a fabulous stay at Lillie’s Hut within Shepherds’s Lodge."

  Our hosts were fantastic with any questions we had. The hut is extremely comfortable, and clean. All amenities were there should you wish to cook a breakfast, lunch or dinner. But if you prefer, pubs are close by although the use of a car would be preferable due to the lack of lighting on country lanes at night. Ideal pubs for drinks and dinners are The Chequers Inn, The Windmill and The Duck at Woolsthorpe. The bed is comfortable, and the toilet and shower up in the hotel standards. There is no Wi-Fi, but you don’t need it and there is a lack of reception on your network if you’re on Three. We struggled with this when we wanted to order more firewood, so we gave our hosts cash. The hot tub was presented to us clean, and the host will help to bring it to temperature if required. Outdoors lighting is perfect for when you are in it and you have drinks holders on the outside of it. Will will visit again soon! Ideal getaway if you’re looking for a few days of R&R. 10 out of 10.

• "The perfect getaway for you and your other half if you are looking for somewhere secluded, peaceful and relaxing."

  Property is located about a mile off the main road, so if you are someone who is worried about driving down long narrow country roads then this holiday is just for you! The property itself is beautiful, located around the edge of a small body of water with a homely feel inside the huts. The wood fire hot tub was incredible and as per recommendations, make sure you get it going well in advance of you getting in (2 hours+). If you are worried about operating anything inside or outside of the Hut, the owners have made a very detailed booklet to help, along with many recommendations on local places to eat! We met the owners on the 2nd day after running low on fire wood, with Chris going out of his way to find a hairdryer for my girlfriend, adding a personal touch! Would recommend!

  It was great meeting with you so pleased you enjoyed your time in Lillie’s Hut Helen and Chris Property Owner

• "We had the most amazing time staying in Lillie’s hut."

  It’s the perfect getaway for 2. The hut had everything you could want and is beautifully presented. It offers the best cosy winter feeling. There are some really lovely finishing touches throughout the hut which make it extra special. We were well looked after by the owner who is full of helpful advice about the local area. We will be coming back for sure.

• "My son and I stayed at Lillie’s Shepherds hut for 3 nights."

  And we had such a lovely break. It’s in the middle of the fields, with no traffic noise, and plenty of nature. We didn’t even feel like going anywhere the first day, wanted just enjoy the place. We absolutely loved the hot tub. And in fact we liked the natural way of heating it with the solid fuel. The first day took a little longer to heat it (around 40 minutes, which is not too bad) but next day it was still warm and we did a lot quicker. The only one suggesting is to have a cover over the tub, in case it rains. We had a golf umbrella and it covered us completely just after we went in and it started to rain. There are plenty of places around there is a short distance. Belvoir castle is only 10 minutes drive. Alpacas farm is 25 minutes. And plenty other things. The owner was very friendly and helpful. We would definitely go back again.

  It was a pleasure meeting you and thanks for your lovely comments so pleased you enjoyed your time with us at shepherds lodge.look forward to welcoming again Chris Property Owner

• "My partner and I stayed here for 2 nights and it was everything we could have wanted."

  The location of the hut is stunning and so is the hut itself. The reality of the hut is exactly the same as the photographs. The double bed was super comfy and the light up stars above seemed very romantic. The hut was clean and cosy. The log burned hot tub was so relaxing and that is where we spent most of our time. We also loved spending time relaxing in the hammock and sat around the fire pit. Chris, the owner, helped us with every question we had and nothing was too much trouble for him. I will 100% be recommending Lillie's Hut to family/friends and my partner and I will definitely be coming back for special occasions.

  Hi Madison. Thank you for your kind feedback. We love it when our guests enjoy the stunning location and peacefulness of Shepherd's Lodge. Property Owner

• "Realty enjoyed our stay, the property was beautiful, clean and well maintained."

  Everything needed was provided including logs for the fire and even milk and fresh orange juice which was prefect for breakfast. Little things like that made the stay very enjoyable and felt like you were looked after. Chris and Helen were both lovely and very helpful, providing recommendations on what to do and where to eat. Overall our trip was excellent and would recommend to anybody else looking for a getaway. We are definitely keen to return and experience the lovely surroundings in the summer, the huts positioned around the pond would be ideal on a summers evening. Thanks for a fantastic stay!

  Thanks Thomas it was a pleasure meeting you we are so happy you enjoyed your visit to Lillie’s Hut hope to see you soon Property Owner

• "A very comfortable stay with such a beautiful setting."

  It’s clear that a lot of time, effort and love has gone into these huts. We had a fantastic two night break and despite the mud (English autumn!) we enjoyed it immensely. Wellies are a must, but this is one of the cosiest breaks we have for a long time. Cannot recommend enough.

• "We stayed for our 1st wedding anniversary and we were over the moon with the cabin."

  Beautiful to look at and very comfortable. Only thing that would have been better is some chairs around the fire pit. But besides that. 10/10

  Wishing you both a very Happy Anniversary and a big Thank You for the lovely feedback. Property Owner

• "We have had a fantastic stay in Lillies Hut, we even got to meet Lillie herself who is absolutely gorgeous."

  The hut was extremely comfortable and had everything we needed for our 3 night break. The area was peaceful and we saw some fantastic wildlife. To open your door and be greeted with the pond, ducks, butterflies and birds was completely delightful. The hot tub was easy to use and so relaxing. The hut has some lovely little details and we were able to watch the stars both outside and inside, it is these details that made our stay extremely enjoyable and relaxing. Chris was fantastic, he was available to help if we needed it and gave us some great information about the area and where to visit, he was a very friendly host. We would and will recommend Shepherds Lodge and can't wait to go back.

  Thank you so much for your lovely review Emma. We were so pleased to hear that you enjoyed the gorgeous setting and wildlife at Shepherd's Lodge. Property Owner

• "The whole experience was extremely relaxing and enjoyable with great service provided by the hosts."

  The only down side was getting the hot tub started but that was soon resolved. For us the roaming dogs were a pleasant surprise, however it might be ideal to have a warning on the website as someone might be allergic or be afraid of dogs. Other than that we would definitely recommend this place and will be returning in the future.

  We were really happy to hear that you had a great time at Shepherd's Lodge and would like to thank you for the lovely review. Please do accept my apology for the family dogs though. They are not normally allowed on site but, in this instance, the crafty little things had found a gap in the hedgerow whilst I was there replenishing the log burner wood!!! In their defence though, there were some rather lovely smells coming from one of the BBQ's. Property Owner
