    We had a lovely break at Riverwood farm Glamping. We booked both the Safari Tent and the Shepherd's Hut. Jo met us on arrival and was lovely. It was lovely to have the space to ourselves as we are a big family. We made use of the hot tub, fire pit and barbecue. The Hot tub at the Shepherd's hut heats up quicker. Everything we needed was there including a nice touch of a bottle of prosecco in the fridge. The beds were lovely and comfy and everything was lovely and clean x

    The typical english weather, so the cottage was a little bit small...

    What a great place to stay for four nights! The cottage was fantastic! We had a lot of privacy. In the morning and evening the children had a great time in the hot tub, in combination with the bbq. It was kind of Jo to warm up the hot tub on arrival. Highly recommended for slow living and glamping!

    Too many files haha, and the price was just a little high only in the sense that, we stayed from a Thursday to a Saturday but to stay for more night was £180 I understand that everything is getting more expensive. But as you can't arrive until after 15.00/16.00 pm on your first day so you essential lose out on half a day and you need to leave before 10.00 on your leaving day. So just seemed a little steep for one more night.

    Brilliant location very easy to find. Our little 21 week old Border terrier loved it. Loved the walks and the hut tub was very relaxing.

    The passing trains was the only distraction, but they are pretty infrequent and soon forgotten.

    The location and property was prefect to escape the the rush of everyday life, to kick back and relax. Barbecue in wood land setting, relaxing in the wood fired hot tub and then to relax on the decking with drink looking out on to woodland. The isolation was wonderful, i hope they can keep the location this way, the hut is down a short path about a two minute walk from the the parking lot.

    A little tight for space for our family of 4, but if the weather had been better would have been ideal with the use of the outside space.

    The shepherd's hut was very cosy and comfortable. Very clean. Was lovely to be met by Jo, who showed us the accommodation and how to use the wood fired hot tub, which was lovely to use after a long day. Fabulous outside space.

    The bed was very firm ( personal preference) and there wasnt much outside lighting which was good for seeing the stars but not so good for seeing where you are going. especially down the gravel path or near the hot tub.

    The location was beautiful. The hot tub and heated floor were a godsend. Everything you could need was supplied and overall we had a fantastic time.

    Being very very picky, but the fridge was very small and the hot tub was a shame to have to "buy" the logs to use the hot tub. Also took at least 2 hours to warm up

    The location was fantastic, parking not far. Absolutely loved the hut, was a small space but made so well with lots of storage space. So much outdoor space, was great to have a bbq there and loved the firepit. Bought our whole house, but was so unnecessary as everything we needed was already there

    A little conscious that anyone could approach the hut at night as there was no fence or barrier, but that was the only thing about the property that we didn't like.

    We were very comfortable and the hut has all the bells and whistles you could expect. Everything felt like it had a lot of effort put into it. Really beautiful surrounding area and everything was very clean. Perfect for a family break.

    Nothing

    We greeted by Jo on arrival who gave us a quick tour around before leaving us to settle in. She had left a bottle of prosecco and some milk in the fridge which was nice after a long drive down. The shepherds hut was exceptionally clean and had been very well thought out to make the most of the small space. The hot tub was great for keeping the kids entertained and although it feels like your in the middle of nowhere there is lots to do in the surrounding areas. Some of the point made in previous reviews have been picked up on so we've nothing more to add. Thanks for a lovely weekend and we hope to stay again in the not too distant future. 😁
