It’s a wonderful spot to enjoy the scenic views and unwind away from the world, a real treat to enjoy.

Four steps lead into the shepherd’s hut where every detail has been considered for your comfortable stay, including a kingsize bed with plenty of storage underneath, and a Smart TV perfectly placed on the wall. The small kitchenette area has a touch-control hob and a small fridge, and set to the side you have a small wood burner with all the wood you may need supplied for you.
