  • "We had a great stay albeit our plans were somewhat cast awry by Storm Babet."

    Very well appointed and comfortable accommodation in the shepherd's hut, great location and, excellent, very helpful yet non-intrusive hosts. We hope to revisit in order to sample a couple of nights around the fire pit and to enjoy the hammock!

    Thank you for your kind comments and really pleased that you had a good stay despite the weather! Also thank you for the quiz games. With rain like that, staying in and playing games was a good option. See you again sometime. Property Owner

    In a peaceful spot with easy dog walking from the hut but easy to get to places to explore. Lovely garden with fire pit to sit for a peaceful breakfast and evenings listening to owls and deer - a real break from it all .

    Thank you so much for your comments and so glad you enjoyed your time in this quiet corner of Suffolk. The owls and deer were in fine form last night. Property Owner

    Made to feel very welcome and the thoughtful gift of a bottle of wine was an added bonus and we totally relaxed whilst we were there. Great area to explore and lovely morning walk with our 4 legged companion Rosie right on our doorstep.
