  • "This was a lovely get away for me on my own after some rubbish news."

    Had a nice quite time. Lovely roaring fire - really warmed up the place so quickly; had to open the windows! Sat outside one night with the fire pit (you need a new one btw as rusted and falling apart, much older than pictured) book and wine and saw hedgehogs in the garden. Got most of what you need in there, only observations - could do with a new firepit as mentioned, a little upright hoover rather than dust pan and brush as on your hands and knees and also new pots and pans as they were pretty worn out. Would also be nice to have more than just a couple of days worth of fire wood, had to go and buy more, but you do have the benefit of a little electric fire and radiator in shower room. But all that aside I absolutely adored it and would definitely visit again.

  • "The shepherds hut was lovely, everything was there that was needed."

    The garden was brilliant for the dog, table and chairs to sit out with. The weather was absolutely brilliant while we were there. Lots of info about walks for the dog . Parking right next to the hut so did not have to carry things too far. Really quiet and relaxing few days.

  • "This was a really great find, we spent a very restful week here, our dog loved the garden and we loved the shepherds hut."

    It had everything you could need and more. The welcome pack of milk and goodies was a lovely unexpected touch. There are plenty of things to do around the area and loads of amenities just a short drive away. We will definitely come back, thank you for a lovely break.

    It is a quirky, comfortable,well equipped idyllic shepherd's hut with a private enclosed garden overlooking the golf course. We had a perfect stay and could honestly say it was faultless.We had a fantastic meal at Greko Beverley which we would recommend.We also went to Hull and visited The Deep,the Wilberforce Museum and the Street life museum. Thank you Lynda for the goodies that you left us , and for the Greko recommendation.

    A little tricky to find as it's literally on a golf course, but the provided instructions were clear. A nice bit of outdoor garden space - thank you very much!

  • "What a gem of a find."

    We’ve stayed in a lot of shepherds huts and this is one of the best. Fantastic for (1) dog owners and ideally located near the lovely town of Beverley. Fantastic stay we will be back for sure.

  • "A lovely, cosy property in a secluded peaceful setting."

    Great if you have a dog also as it is fully enclosed. My only gripe (a small one) would be the height of the bed, a little awkward for me due to back problems, but a small, foldaway step is provided. Ideally situated for exploring the delights of the East Riding and the village of Skidby is a delight. The welcome pack is very thoughtful too. All in all, a very enjoyable stay and an ideal spot to get away from it all. Recommended.

  • "Had the most relaxing 3 days break at the Ewes welcome, the shepherds hut has everything you could need to relax and get away from our usually hectic lives, the host is a pleasure to deal with and nothing is to much trouble for the staff at the Skidby lake golf club, the enclosed garden was perfect for our little fur baby Snowy and the view from the property is stunning."

    We will definitely be returning and hopefully booking the other 2 properties with our family.

    nice views of the golf course the only issue is it was facing a golf course haha so my dog would sometimes bark at the golfers walking past at the end of the garden.

    All amenities on doorstep, the shepards hut was lovely and warm ,if anything we had to open window when fire was on . A little feedback would be it could benefit from a full length sweeping brush or mini wall mounted vacuum cleaner as small brush was hard work. The flowers and treats mean so much Thankyou again xx

  • "The hut is everything they said it would be, it is very cozy and welcoming."

    Very clean upon arrival with a few treats left by owners. Cooking facilities are limited due to space available so next time I am packing my air fryer, however the local pub does serve some really nice food and it is not overly priced. The hut is situated close to amenities and main routes to go sight seeing. This is a place I look forward to stopping at again.

    It has been well thought out by the owners. Nice little touches were left for us like flowers, crisps and biscuits, also the bed, dishes, toy and treats for my dog were appreciated. He loved it there. Good base for visiting lots of places. I would give 9+ for my stay. The bed was not quite soft enough for me but I know that is personal preference and nothing that the quilt I bought from Skirlington market couldn’t cure. I would definitely stay again.

    It was beautiful, really cosy with beautiful finishing touches! A lovely cottage vibe! It's really easy to find, with plenty of things to do around the area. When we arrived there was a doggy basket with a towel, blanket, and treats which was so welcoming for the dogs! There was a pack of biscuits and some crisp left for us which was very kind. Fully equipped with tea and coffee and a fresh milk in the fridge! A pack of gard games which came in handy im the evening! The garden was enclosed and safe for the dogs ( unless you have a chihuahua who's an escape artist like mine who will find somewhere where she can sneak out of!) Fire pit and plenty of seating area for outside. The beach is only 30 minutes away, there's pubs and resturants about 5 minutes in the car. Your surrounded by stunning walks we done the Skidby mill walk which was lush, especially with the weather being on our side! We can't wait to re visit, such a perfect location with a beautiful shepards hut. We were so made up we found this we had the best time away! Just what we needed.

    Lovely surroundings , you are in the middle of a golf course. Only drawback is that there is a very busy road road near and was hard to cross to get to the nearest village of Skidby , and you can hear the traffic but it is worth it . The half moon pub in Skidby is worth a visit lovely little village .

    It overlooked a golf course, with nature and beautiful views right from the window, or garden chairs. We were genuinely surprised with how efficiently the shephards hut had been furnished. There was nothing missing at all. Yes it is small, but there seemed to be so much more space than we anticipated. The bed was luxurious and comfortable, the kitchenette perfectly equipped, a small fold out dining table for romantic dinners and a quaint bathroom with a lush shower. We took our beloved 4 legged friend with us, and there were bowls, treats and bedding all ready for him. The attention to detail, lovely decor and general rustic charm of this fabulous little get-away was exactly what we needed for a couple of nights break. We even managed to find a pleasant pub within walking distance in the next village. All in all, one of the best quirky holidays we've had. Great job.
