    “We spent 4 lovely nights/5 days at the Herdsman Shepherd's Hut.”

    we found it to be comfortable, cosy and clean. John and Alison were both on hand to welcome us, and thereafter left us to it, but reassuring us of being available if needed. They were not needed which speaks for itself, everything was as expected and we had no need to contact them about anything. Sitting outside, or under cover, looking over the valley was beautiful, and so peaceful, just the sheep in the next field as company. we would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a bit of peace ...
