"Despite the unpredictable weather my dog and I had a really enjoyable stay at Shepherds Hut."
which was perfect for sheltering from the frequent showers with everything required for cosy relaxation and comfort. The locality is very special with spectacular views even in the rain! Beverley and Des were delightful hosts providing great suggestions of places to visit and the Brew cafe at Clee Hill summit is a must for great coffee and cake and most importantly Dog Friendly which most of the places we visited were. Thank you Beverley and Desmond, Katrina & Queeni

The hosts were wonderful and welcoming, making our experience even more enjoyable. The nearby hills offered fabulous walks with breathtaking views. The shepherd’s hut was clean, compact, and cosy, providing a great base for exploring the area. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a peaceful and scenic getaway!

"Lovely break in a cosy shepherds hut with super views."
Owners were exceptionally helpful and I was disappointed I had to cut my break short due to family emergency.

"Des and Beverley are the perfect hosts greeting you on arrival, with Des showing you around the hut before leaving you to it."
The hut is perfectly well equipped with everything you need for a relaxing stay in a wonderful location. Very cozy with stunning views from the door or as you have breakfast on the picnic table. Chimera is great for a warming fire as you sit out in an evening with a glass of something in the company of the stars and the tranquility. Walks from the door get you high up very quickly to take in views of 40 miles across the counties and a pub just a 45 minutes stroll down quiet lanes, or 5 mins in car. Make sure you take the time to walk to the top of nearby Clee Hill where you have 360 degree view of 7 counties, before calling at Brewe cafe, in the village, for super coffee and cakes. Des will point you in the right direction if you ask. So I will just end with a thank you to Des and Beverley for a perfect stay.
Thank you Alan for such a lovely review, so glad that you had a well deserved relaxing break. I do hope that we will have the pleasure of seeing you again. Property Owner

"Just got back from our stay at Shepherd Hut."
The hut is absolutely fabulous and the views amazing. Des the owner met us on the day of arrival and was very helpful and nothing was a problem. The hut is immaculate with everything you need. We chose to eat out in the evenings at local pubs but had a cooked breakfast every morning. We took our dog Bella with us and she enjoyed running around the fields while we relaxed with a glass of wine. I can’t recommend this hut enough it is just so private and relaxing. Will definitely be back for another visit.

"We have stayed in a few Shepherds hugs and most have been very nice, but the Shepherds retreat TOPS THE LOT!"
It is a lovely place to stay and relax, so well thought out, Farmer Des came over to give us our keys and show us around and he was the loveliest man. The hut is super comfy, from the lovely. Armchairs ( seating is normally a bit of an issue in huts) to the restored bed from 1857!, everything has been thought about,great use of space,,everything you need is there. The hut has a large decking to the front, with ramp and step access, a really nice fully enclosed garden, so you don't have to worry about your dog wandering off, as well as at least 3 large fields you have access to straight from the gate by the decking. There are 2 small sheds one with kit for the chiminea and some extra chairs and loungers in and the other with hanging space for clothes, coats ,boots and bikes if you want ( there is also an ironing board and iron in there) and finally THE VIEWS !! ......did I mention the views! you can sit on the deck and look out over 4 counties, plenty of wildlife about as well. Not often I say this but 10 out of 10, a lovely place owned by lovely people, will definitely come back for another stay.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review Shepherds Retreat, we are so pleased that you enjoyed you're stay, and we look forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner

"Bev and des were amazing hosts."
Extremely friendly and helpful from the minute we booked our stay. The lodge was a beautiful property, surrounded by nature and outstanding views as far as the eye could see. We cannot fault the place or the love owners. The hut has been comfortably designed with old feature that are unique. Des had told us that he had built the hut as a hobby and it shows his passion and dedication the the project. We are already planning our next trip there. If you are looking for peace and quiet, and love wildlife then this is a great spot about an hr from walsall. Thank you for making our long weekend feel great x Sarah and Steve

"This delightful shepherd's hut is equipped with a very comfortable bed and armchairs, all necessary equipment and a shower/toilet/sink cubicle."
It is situated to give spectacular views of the local countryside, offering a panoramic sweep across several counties. It offers easy access to nearby Ludlow, Clee Hill summit and a range of walks and small market towns and villages. The owners go out of their way to ensure that you are comfortable and have everything you need, spare the time to chat and offer guidance on places to go and things to see. A charming, bijou retreat which is cosy for all its smallness: I had a wonderful week and am sure I will return.

"Very clean & cosy."
Well equipped everything you would need for a few days or a longer stay. Extra storage space in an outside shed is very useful. Wonderful views, loads to see and do in the area, especially Clee Hills to explore. Good sized enclosed garden for a dog and walks from the door.

"We had a peaceful and relaxing stay at the Shepherds Hut."
The place was in beautiful countryside with amazing views and a perfect base to explore the area from. The owners were friendly,welcoming and helpful. The hut was beautifully done, sparkling clean and catered for everything that you could need for a break away. Our dog loved the space and the dog treats left for her. A place we'd love to come back to when we're in the area again. We'd recommend booking a stay - you won't be disappointed. Thanks for having us.
