Height Of Winder Shepherds Hut Reviews

Alex Carter
We just got back from a four-night stay and honestly, it was one of our best getaways! The setting was stunning, with lovely sunny evenings spent relaxing with drinks and a BBQ, watching sheep graze nearby. Perfect for walks along the river or heading into the village for some food. The hot tub was incredible-so hot and relaxing, we loved it! Definitely planning to return soon. It's a little slice of paradise, really. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a peaceful escape.
Alex Morgan
Really enjoyed our stay! The hosts were lovelyand the fresh eggs were a real treat. The scenery around the hut is simply breathtaking, making it a perfect getaway spot.
Alex
We had an amazing stay in this cosy shepherds hut, surrounded by stunning countryside. The hot tub was a real treat after a day exploringand the outdoor seating with the fire pit made evenings special. The owners were lovely-friendly but respectful of our privacy. We enjoyed fresh farm eggs and loved watching the lambs with their mums in the fields. Everything we needed was providedand the place was warm and inviting. Definitely a spot to unwind and recharge. Can't wait to return!
Emily
The setting is simply stunningand we felt genuinely welcomed from start to finish. The owners are incredibly friendly and make sure everything's perfect for your stay. We had such a lovely time, we're already planning to return soon! Can't recommend it enough.
James
Honestly, I was tempted to give it a terrible review just so no one else books and we get more availability, but I just can't. The place was absolutely lovely-so cosy, super cleanand in a perfect spot. The hot tub was huge and had the most incredible view. The hosts were really friendly and helpful too. It's like a Spinal Tap amp-goes to 11! We'll definitely be back as often as we can. Don't steal our slots!
