    “The sweet briar shephards hut is very small, so if you have a large dog like we did I don't recommend it cause there is no room for them, the bed was very comfy and it was clean, if the weather is good then you can sit outside but if its raining then the hut is not a place to sit in and be comfy.”

    Also there is nothing to do on an evening which can get really boring after a while, we never meet the owners so we could talk with them and see what activities are going on what there was to do which was a shame. If you like walking then your fine but if you have bad legs like I do walking is a big problem.Please state what you are getting into before people book cause if I had known before hand then we wouldn't have booked it ,our hut was on a slant and needs some work doing on it .

    Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are happy you found Sweet Briar clean & comfortable. We are truly lucky to have such a beautiful rural location & views. We’re sorry you found that the property wasn’t what you were expecting; we hope that the photographs & description provide a clear indication of what you may expect at the shepherds hut & surrounding areas. Shepherd's huts are not that spacious, however we have put a lot of thought into making it as comfortable as possible for our guests. The reservations team are always happy to talk through any specific requirements you may have and help you choose a property that will provide you with the best holiday experience. Thank you again for your review. Property Owner
