The property itself was very cute and very well made. Fit for purpose with all facilities whilst still feeling homey. The location is lovey, quiet little village but still driving distance from major shops and wonderful walking routes.

It was self catering. Location was great for where we needed to go. Gwyneth was lovely and very helpful. The Shepard hut was a delight better than we thought it would be. Very clean spacious for 2 and the hot tub topped it off. It was also very private …. Great few days

This little Shepard’s Hut was so cosy, with great facilities. Loved the shower, and the bed was so sooooo comfortable! The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed for cooking, as we love to cook. Particularly loved the hot tub, was lovely to stargaze at night 🙂
Was a great location, we liked being outside the town but was close enough to shops. We visited Norwich town and also Banham Zoo which was a highlight! Would definitely recommend both of those ☺️
All in all, magical staycation!
The WiFi wasn’t working, wasn’t a big issue because we wanted to keep off our phones as much as possible. We did have service outside the hut when we needed to use our phones so that was the only thing but nothing that spoilt our time! We would definitely come back!
4.5 / 5.0
It is in a perfect location and the cottage is fully equipped with everything. Very clean and the host was very welcoming.
Bed is slightly uncomfortable but depends on personal preference.

Starting at the top. Location was excellent off a nice main road and in a quiet spot within wooded area. Property itself was pristine and beautiful the hot tub was glorious

Everything was just lovely
It would have been good to have some advice on places to go in the area…. But that is not a criticism just a suggestion

Wonderful place to stay . Peaceful and relaxing
Hot tub extra bonus .would definitely recommend and revisit..
Nothing it was perfect for our needs
2.5 / 5.0
The indoor cooking area was great. The bed was comfortable, the hut itself was beautiful, few too many cushions.
Hot tub was great just needs a shade cover.
Beautiful if placed somewhere else.
Booked as a romantic get away but found ourselves in the front garden, 15ft from the main through road, through the village.
We found items from a previous guest on the shelf next to the bed which ment the shelf had not been cleaned down.
No curtain at the door.. so had to use a dressing gown to block out the light...
Privacy could b improved as the gate leads into the drive that is in use and everyone looked in... needs extra screening.. and people stood outside our gate chatting..
Needs sun loungers to totally relax after the hot tub.

Lovely little cabin, nice and private despite being close to the house we felt like we were in the middle of no where! Everything we needed was in the cabin. Hot tub was amazing even in the rain! We had a lovely time and would definitely like to come back!!
We both found the bed quite uncomfortable as it has sunk in the middle. But honestly, everything else was perfect!
