Amazing time away, very clean and cozy. The location was ideal–secluded enough to feel like a true getaway, yet close enough to explore the beautiful beaches, charming villages, and scenic coastal walks. If you're looking for a peaceful, cozy getaway, this spot is an absolute gem. I can't wait to return!

The location is superb, a short drive away from some very picturesque spots and beaches. The cabin is extremely private and in a gorgeous location, has pretty much everything you'd need. Wild rabbits running around enhances this experience immensely. However, the major downside is the bed. It's VERY small. I'm only 5'5, my partner is 5' and we're pretty slim, we found the bed to be an issue for us. The length isn't great and the width can't be much more than 4ft. If you're any taller than 5'10 then I promise you'll struggle to be comfortable. You're definitely paying for the location, I wouldn't recommend any more than a couple of nights here. Price is a bit high but that's to be expected for a UK getaway. Overall 3.5/5.

Myself and my partner really enjoyed our time away in Cornwall and we loved our accommodation. The shepherd's hut is small but mighty and has everything you would need (including things like a hair dryer, BBQ equipment and games!) and more. We especially liked the hot tub, which took some time to warm up, but after a day it was good to go. For us, the location was ideal. It was remote and peaceful, but we could easily drive to all tourist areas (most being less than 30 mins away). We spent our evenings sitting outside, cooking on the BBQ and watching the bunnies that we shared the field with. Overall, I really recommend this accommodation and I will definitely consider staying here again when I come back to Cornwall!

We had an amazing time away at the shepherd's hut for our honeymoon, really enjoyed the peace and the land surrounding us. Also great information pack to help you find surrounding areas for food, and activities to do whilst away. We visited Marazion beach (St Michael's mount) a lot which was also a nice and peaceful beach and area to relax. Penzance wasn't far which was great to go food shopping or for a general walk around.

Place was spotless and had everything you need! all cutlery and kitchen supplies provided, complimentary tea and sugar, we also left some firewood and starters for the next guests. Hot tub was amazing and very clean despite being outside! fire pit was great also. Would 100% recommend and would love to visit again!
