“A lovely cosy stay.”
+The whole vibe of the hut is lovely and cosy, and it was the perfect place for a night to myself. It was clean and well furnished. There was a lot of communication from the host, asking about arrival time and giving directions etc. As you're driving up the driveway it seems like you're approaching their property but the hut is off to the right behind a double wooden gate.
−There was a bit of noise from some people and tractors around 8:30pm but probably to be expected on a farm.

“A great place to unwind in a peaceful location.”
+The shepherds hut was very peaceful and well located for lovely walks . The hut was very well kitted out with a comfortable bed and clean bathroom . The garden was private with a great view , perfect to sit and watch the sun go down with a local cider from Hillers farm shop .

“It’s a hut. A really cool one.”
+Great for our dogs and a lovely place to stay over. There’s a lot of good stuff crammed into the space.
−We pushed its limits with 5 of us staying (plus two big dogs). The breakfast hamper could have been better value for money, but it’s completely optional and there’s no hard-sell. It probably needs a lock on the toilet door, and you might need folk to go for a walk while you do your business. But then, it is a hut. What did we expect!?! Struggling to criticise it beyond that.

“A unique and wonderful stay in a beautiful hand built Shepherd's Hut”
+I have stayed at the Abberton Shepherd's Hut before, will stay again every time that I am in that area (sadly not very often) and it suits my purposes down to the very ground. Its a lovely peaceful place, incredible freedom as well as provision of everything that I could possibly need. When the sun was out it was glorious sitting in the sunshine reading my book - then I cooked the ribeye steak which I had bought from the proprietors and its probably the best ribeye steak I have ever had. I had requested late check out and that was no problem at all. The whole experience was, as usual, an absolute delight.
−Just one short comment, the outside wood bin did have wood logs in it but it wasn't fully stocked up - being a hot summer I wouldn't think that the proprietors would have expected the outside firepit to be used. However because my brother (also staying and on a mattress which was kindly provided) had brought a couple of cigars with him, we sat out in the cooling evening and chatted, and we did light the outside firepit. There is loads of windblown dead wood around and about so within 5 minutes we had collected all the extra wood we could have needed so it was no problem at all - but I was scratching around to try to think of something to say that I suppose at the margin had been slightly overlooked.

“A complete waste of time and my safety was compromised”
+I don’t know - as after having driven 2 hours there - the owners were no where to be seen.
−The fact that I was left stranded as a lone female traveller late at night. Despite booking.com confirming the hosts had confirmed my stay their end, they did not show up and did not answer my calls or texts. Days later and they still have not contacted me to explain or apologise
