We had a fabulous stay in this shepherds hut, it was very cosy but had everything we needed and more. A lovely welcome pack awaited us, and the owners were very friendly, nothing was too much trouble for them. We would definitely recommend a stay here, waking up to fantastic views, and a good chance to recharge your batteries!

A beautiful and well maintained Shepherds Hut in the perfect location. The sheep were an added benefit and gave the hut an authentic feel. Plenty of parking and within just a few miles of Ludlow itself.

Lovely peaceful Shepherds hut. Perfect for a space to unwind. Ideal for a base to visit Ludlow. National Trust properties are plentiful in the surrounding area.

Very relaxing time had at this shepherd's hut. Just what I needed. Really cook to have an oven and a TV which you don't always get in shepherd's huts. Although the garden is enclosed with a fence, if you have a Houdini dog like mine, take a long lead. My dog would have been straight through the fence and chasing all the sheep!!

Had a lovely weekend break with my husband and our 'blind' dog. Just wish it was longer but unfortunately we had to get back to work. Just to sit and do nothing but take in the view.

Lovely spot, such a cosy, well equipped hut. My dog & I thoroughly enjoyed the peace & quiet, apart from short outbreaks of bleeting sheep & lambs racing around which was hilarious, a great place to unwind & excellent base for walking.
