    Lovely view, very cute hut with everything needed. The ensuite bathroom was a plus. Loved going pick up fresh eggs in the morning for breakfast. But more than all, hosts have been incredible and made us feel very welcomed! They helped quickly with any questions we had and gave us a tour of the farm. Would go back! :)

    Nothing, it was delightful

    Easy to find, directions in the booking email were spot on. Very comfy, very quiet and secluded. Loved the fact that there were milk, bread, butter and fresh eggs waiting for me...I had a lovely breakfast of poached eggs on toast watching the sun come up in the morning. There is wifi available but actually the site is covered by 4G so I was quite ok for connectivity. All in all a very comfortable night's sleep.

    Only downside is that we arrived late evening and had only booked the 1 night.

    Everything! Really want to say something bad about it to keep it to ourselves but that wouldn't be fair to anyone who would miss out on this little gem!

    Beautiful surrounds on a farm. Felt secluded. The little touches, tea, coffee etc in the Hut when we arrived. The host was on hand when I forgot to iron my shirt for the wedding and let me use their ironing board and iron.

    Only downside was flies, whilst this can’t be helped a can of fly spray or some citronella would be helpful. However, this would not deter us from staying again.

    Beautiful location. The views are spectacular. Whilst on a working farm the shepherds hut is completely private. The hut is very well equipped and comfortable.

    This was our first time in a shepherd's hut and we typically wouldn't stay in one (we are not campers!); I believe this was pretty luxurious compared to most. The following comments did not detract at all from the visit and are really picking holes in what was otherwise a pleasant stay! We were slightly chilly the first evening, but once in the comfy bed, we were toasty. We turned up the thermostat a bit and after that, it was comfortable. We had some issues with the Wifi, but these were swiftly rectified by the owner. The garden was fenced, but it was not secure for our two tiny dogs, who could easily slip under the gate. This was not a major issue for us, as our dogs are well behaved, but as the gate leads to the wider farm, a less obedient small dog would need to be kept on a lead in the garden.

    Drift View was as advertised and suited our needs for our short stay. The hut was spotlessly clean and is very well thought out, having everything we needed in a small space. Despite our concerns before we arrived, there was enough room for us and our two small dogs. When we first arrived, we were concerned about how close it was to the rest of the farm, but it was very quiet and the singing Skylarks were simply wonderful. The views are spectacular and it was wonderful to sit in bed looking out of the window, listening to the birds. Also loved all the flowers, wild and planted, in the garden. Communication with the owner was swift and they were very helpful, otherwise leaving us to enjoy our visit.
