Myself & my daughter, stayed in Bluebell shepherd's hut fri/sun April 18th. It was absolutely beautiful, stunning views, pressecco, biscuits, milk etc there on arrival. We loved the hot tub, lots of walking and relaxing. The hut was spotless & had everything we needed. Log burner, barbecue, cute little bistro set to eat on outside. Laura was also very accomodating. Will definitely stay again. All round Amazing, Thankyou for making us so welcome ❤️.

A relaxing weekend spent in a well built log cabin / lodge. Clean with bathrobes bedding and towels provided. Loved the design with the two king size bedrooms either ends of the lodge, both with roll top bath and walk in separate shower! The open plan kitchen dining and lounge area in the middle, opening onto the large patio area. The outlook is private and very quiet. Ideal for first time parents or older friends and family. Free WiFi and parking. (Not really for children -in my opinion) dog friendly -but lodges not enclosed/gated. Communication/ booking was via email. Two local pubs serving food which were walkable -as well as the canal pathway to Foxton Locks. Recommend staying at Otters Holt or Squirrels Dray lodges.

We stayed in one of the shepherds huts over Christmas and it was so lovely. Beautifully put together with everything we needed in a small but perfectly formed space! We absolutely loved stargazing in the hot tub and waking up to the views over the fields. Would love to come back.
