    The shepherd hut is stunning. Interior is beautiful and the facilities all high quality. Bits in the fridge were really helpful and welcomed. Took advantage of the sunshine in the front garden with the garden furniture. Pub at the campsite literally a minutes walk and staff there so friendly. Communication was exceptional and felt so welcome. Will definitely come back xx

    Its was perfect, easy to find and just so relaxing. Had everything you needed! The little kind touches of biscuits and milk were lovely. So clean and cute. Can’t wait to rebook when the sun comes to town :)

    The retreats' location is simply tranquil and a true escape to the countryside. Emma & Steve were very helpful and on hand to help...particularly when my husband accidentally left his suit there on our departure! The Shepherd Hut has everything you need for a lovely relaxing weekend away. It was also decorated for Easter, which was great too! We definitely will be recommending the Orchard Retreat and are planning a return visit!

    Fantastic quiet location for a beautifully thought out shepherds hut. Clean, warm, cosy and comfortable it’s the perfect place to relax. Thank you for the tea and milk etc and the large fluffy towels were very welcome.

    Shower took a while to get hot but the owners were very obliging and helped us sort it out.

    Lovely peaceful setting with a very comfortable bed and lots of lovely touches. Would love to return at some point and enjoy the hammock under the stars.

    We loved it all. We found the shower difficult to use, even following the guidance but we got there in the end so no complaints.

    What a stunning place! So beautiful and quaint. Loved the little touches from the host too, providing coffee, tea, milk, some snacks and a couple of alcohol beverages.

    Everything. The communication was excellent, Emma was very thorough and helpful. It was a perfect place to stay for pur 13th wedding anniversary ❤️ Ted's Shack has everything you need and more. The welcome basket was lovely, marshmallows for the fire and other things were lovely. Nice fresh milk, water, cider and larger all lovely touches. The place itself was peaceful and perfect location for us. Emma left us some flowers 💐 and a happy anniversary message which was very kind. The hammock was fabulous 👌 we went for a meal a 5min drive away at Yockleton arms, this was very nice!!! Thanks for a fabulous stay. I would recommend this place to everyone, you won't be disappointed.

    Could do with a blanket or two! Kitchen was described as “fully functional” but it consisted of a fridge, microwave, kettle and toaster - which was fine accept we had bought food that needed an oven/bbq after reading fully functional!

    Very comfortable, great perks in the fridge and biscuit, clean and really a beautiful little place to stay…

    Lovely secluded location. We spent one night there after the Soft Cell show in Shrewsbury. Just a short drive to this historic town. Superbly kitted out with an excellent eye for detail. We will visit again.
