    There wasn’t anything not to like.

    Amazing place to stay! So quiet and peaceful, farm shop and shops 10 minutes away by car if needed. Durleighmarsh Farm Shop had some lovely local produce. The host was very helpful and friendly! We will definitely be coming back again!

    Second time going, beautiful place, got to see a few animals about, birds a barn owl, deer in the field on our dusk walk up the path. Bed so comfy a lovely chilled experience with my husband, his birthday treat away. My husband was not a fan of the compost toilet but I didn't mind, lovely shower, something wild about showering in a field with birds singing all around you. Loved it

    This is a lovely place to get away from it all, it really is secluded, the shepherds hut is comfortable and cosy and the separate building that houses the kitchen, shower and toilet is made of everything reclaimed, it’s quant and quirky, but at the same time is clean and has everything you need, the owner really has thought of everything. The fire pit is fab, evenings spent sitting round the fire toasting marshmallows were perfect. This was our second visit and we will return.

    Peaceful,relaxing and comfortable. Seeing the deer was a bonus. The facilities were just right and the welcome box a lovely gesture, especially the Raspberries. I would like to return and spend more time just to sit and enjoy the peace. If you’re not great at starting wood fires take some kindling it really helps to get the fire pit going. I took two fold up chairs as my mother is 82 so not up to sitting on the log seats. The track to the site has a few pot holes, but it’s ok. There is a little coop that was well stocked about 5-10 mins away if you need plus pubs. The position of the hut provides a stunning sunrise, and sunshine till late afternoon.

    I have no criticism of the place. My only reccomendation to make it better would be a heads up on ticks, and if there was some outside shelter from the sun/rain it would make it mega. 😊

    Everything. Location, facilities, vibe.. Beautiful gem of a place. Definitely would like to return.

    What a beautiful place, owned and managed by very nice people. We had a superb time. I think the other reviews cover the key points - basically stunning, peaceful getaway with really communicative owners who will help you out with any questions you have. For those worrying about phones etc, you can charge your phone in the cabin (USB charger not wall socket), you get decent reception if you need to make a call (but try not to, you're getting away from it all right!?) THe kitchen area is fully stocked with pots, pans, cutlery etc. There's also a BBQ for a cook out. It's not at all hard to find if you read the directions Alice will send and for those complaining about their sports car struggling to drive in - it's just a gravel road; no issues driving in, in terms of low profile of car, just drive slowly! Wonderful place, you'll love it

    The Perfect Couples Retreat

    This was the perfect couples retreat, remote but not too far out of the way, the shepherds hut was really quaint with a super comfy bed, the owner Alice had left a lovely welcome pack of goodies, she had thought of everything that made for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The kitchen and bathroom were brilliant, all made of reclaimed wood and furniture which was really quirky and fun, and had everything you needed. The fire pit made for two lovely evenings under the stars which was really romantic, I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat.

    The bed was very uncomfortable felt like we would roll off The walk to the toilet/kitchen was a bit far especially in the dark the stairs to the hut were narrow and steep couldn't see them in the dark

    The view was great 😊 The shower products and welcome tray was a nice touch The log burner was fantastic
