"A massive thank you to Wendy and Dave for the amazing stay at Portland Luxury Glamping this March!"
The shepards hut had everything my partner and I needed and more. We were meant to stay at another shepards hut 30 miles away and it was cancelled last minute so we were so happy to have found Limetree Glamping. The way the interior and exterior is decorated is beautiful! The outside fire was perfect and the canopie over the seating area was great because when it rained we still felt super sheltered and cosy! Blankets were supplied which was a bonus to feel warm on colder nights! The following day we had beautiful sun so we walked down to feed the sheep with the sheep feed that Dave and Wendy supply. The sheep are in the field next to the plot who ran right to the gate to greet us! They all have their own little personalities and that was such fun meeting them all. The hot tub was perfect for two and everything felt so private. Dave keeps the grounds and hot tub very clean and looked after and he was very helpful when we wanted more firewood and an extra towel. On greeting Wendy she realised it was my birthday and came back shortly to our hut to drop off a bottle of bubble on ice and a gorgeous rose flower. It made my birthday feel so special and I couldn't have appreciated that kind gesture more! We also popped into the town close by as I booked a massage with 'Zen o Clock' which was honestly the best massage ive ever had! And the prices were so cheap for a full body massage! By the end of the weekend we were so thankful that the other place we were meant to stay cancelled because this shepards hut and the grounds were the best we've stayed on. Wendy and Dave are a lovely and friendly, kind couple who have produced a beautiful escape into tranquility! I couldn't recommend staying here enough! Also, I must mention the bed is soooo comfortable! I wasn't expecting it! We really wish we had booked a longer stay here as 2 nights went too quickly. If you want to experience staying in a shepards hut then you have to stay here! You won't regret it!!
Wow thank you it really does mean a lot to us when people enjoy their stay and then take time out of their day to write a review especially a review like that one also that you had an amazing time on your birthday. It was great to meet you both and we would love to welcome you back. Property Owner
