    Nothing really, Perhaps if there’s a hairdryer handy, it’d be perfect, but it’s not a big deal.

    Cozy and clean. Beautiful caravan equipped with everything I need. Strong WiFi. I’d come back in the spring and summer when the days are longer and for a longer stay. It’s a perfect place to retreat to work remotely. I also love the privacy but I know that I felt assured that I would get help if needed.

    If you don't drive it's a taxi ride from Gloucester costing about £25 but I think that's pretty reasonable.

    Perfect place for meditation 🧘‍♂️ and getting back to nature. You can have complete silence if you want it and is great for energy healing.

    Nothing we didn't like

    Loved this cosy hut which was well equipped and very clean. Lovely decor and nice welcome pack, even provided local takeaway menus if you didn't want to cook. Well stocked with wood for the firepit and charcoal for the bbq. Lovely, comfy chairs to sit outside and relax and enjoy the peacefullness of the countryside, with just the sheep and cows for company. If you want to relax this is the place, if you want a base to explore the same.

    The fire alarm is above the bed and the light coming off it is quite bright during the night. Also, I recommend taking ear plugs. The cows and sheep like to make a lot of noise early morning, which was a great experience to see/hear but also disruptive to sleep.

    Absolutely loved our stay in this shepherd's hut. Beautiful inside and out. We were very lucky to have a night of really good weather and did a bit of star gazing and plane spotting with the fire pit lit - perfect evening! The hut itself is amazing - comfortable king sized bed, great sized bathroom and everything you need in the kitchen. The view from the hut is stunning - what a view to wake up to! Being on a working farm it was great to see the sheep and cows around. Also loved our visits from Betty, the owners little dog - what a cutie! Thank you so much for our wonderful stay! Would highly recommend!
