Many more cons than pros sadly…

Unfortunately the Shepherds hut we stayed in was right next to the pub car park (sone might say actually in the car park) meaning we were woken at 5.20 a.m when deliveries were being made and then again at 7 a.m when staff were chatting in the car park. The cabin was very basic, lacked attention to detail or any nice personal touches as well as being very dark and gloomy. Outside furniture was weathered and not attractive. Shower was great, breakfast good but other than that it was very expensive for what you get. The food in the evening wasn’t great either. Overall I would not recommend at all.

Bedrooms was well presented, Beds was clean and comfy but the bathroom sink was impractical. The Breakfast was prepared and sereved tepid at best. Cant judge the evening meals as the wouldnt serve you unless you was booked in to the restaurant.

We really enjoyed our stay. Food was excellent. Only hiccup was no hot water on the first night, which was rectified as quickly as they could. Only suggested improvement would be to add a lamp/light switch next to the bed - it was a bit odd not to have it.

Room tired and dark decor, no bathrobes or locally sourced treat as advertised! Noisy room above the bar. Nice location of hotel, with some lovely walks around it. Evening food very disappointing, steak small and chips covered in paprika they were barely edible! Liqueur coffee not possible as only synthetic squirty cream… not what I’d expect from a so called 5 star luxury hotel!!

Just ok, didn’t live up to what we’d seen on Insta

The room was dark. There was 3 of us, 2 adults and an 11 year old yet only 2 glasses and 2 bottles of water. Only 2 cups. 2 English breakfast tea bags. We arrived at 2.50pm to check in to be told the rooms weren’t ready yet and to get a drink in the bar. We’d traveled for 5.5 hours so we’re happy to do this however we then seemed to be forgotten about as others checked in a matter of minutes after we’d enquired and we didn’t get a key until 3.35pm. We ate in the restaurant and expected more from we’d seen on Insta to what we got. The food was just ok. Breakfast was a let down with the buffet being left on the bar near the door . When we got to breakfast during the recommended time slot of 8.30am there was one slice of cheese and once slice of meat left… We wouldn’t be rushing back even though the location is great.
