We love the Sheep Shed, it a fantastic property in a beautiful location. Dan and Emily are the perfect hosts. The property is fully equipped and spotlessly clean and well maintained. We cant wait for our 5th visit in September 26 !

Dan and Emily are fantastic hosts. The sheep shed is a superb facility, with fantastic views. Very comfortable beds and sofas. It was really nice for the accommodation to be decorated for Christmas with our stay being over new year. Dan and Emily went above and beyond throughout our trip and would highly recommend a stay here as we already have done to friends and family.

Matthew

We had the most perfect, peaceful stay at The Sheep Shed! The property is finished to a very high standard and is in a beautiful quiet setting with wonderful views. It is even better than describedshown in the listing. We felt instantly relaxed and comfortable! It is clear that the owners take real pride in ensuring their guests have the best holiday! We noticed the guest book was filled with overwhelmingly positive comments and there were multiple guests who had revisited year after year. We were not at all surprised by this and plan to stay here the same time of year next year ourselves. Would give more than 5 stars if I could!

The sheep shed is everything you would want or need for a relaxing holiday

Just had an amazing week at The Sheep Shed. Dan and Emily were super hosts and we couldnt fault anything. We were tucked away in a quiet location with the sound of a running river and lambs bleating, instant stress relief! The lodge itself had everything we needed and we were sad to leave! The hot tub was an added bonus. There is no light pollution so the stars were phenomenal from the tub. If you have stumbled upon this lodge, book it, you wont regret it! Thanks Dan and Emily.

We had a great time at the Sheep Shed, much aided by the weather. Wonderful views, great fun watching the antics of the spring lambs and tranquil.

Absolutely stunning property certainly one of the nicest we've ever stayed in. Location was fantastic beautiful views, great walks from the door and very private and quiet. The views from the bedroom were breaktaking to wake up to. Every little thing had been thought of to ensure a comfortable holiday.

We think we have found the perfect holiday home in the Sheep Shed. It is generously sized, warm and comfortable with quality furniture and fittings, and floor to ceiling windows overlooking the most beautiful surroundings. Dan and Emily were brilliant hosts and we could not have wished for a better few days of rest and relaxation. We will return!

We stayed at the Sheep Shed for our 2 week honeymoon following our December 2024 wedding. We have been home for 2 days and we have already started planning going back for next year's holiday! Dan and Emily are absolutely amazing, really friendly and always around if we needed anything. We loved the holiday and highly recommend it!

The Sheepshed is probably the nicest property we have ever stayed in and there have been many. The views are stunning and the property itself is beautiful. There is so much space, so much comfort and even the bathrooms warranted some photos! The bedroom with the whole window view was stunning, the decking area and hot tub is lovely and Dan maintains the hot tub daily. This is not intrusive and was really lovely to be able to ask questions about the local area and get tips on where to go and the best butchers etc. The property has had so much thought put into it to make it perfect. Dan and Emily could not have been more helpful during our stay and we would 100 recommend the Sheepshed. You will not be disappointed!

What an absolute GEM of a find. .The Sheep Shed is just an amazing place, we didnt want to leave. Dan & Emily are fantastic hosts, they are just the best at what they do. The finish and cleanliness of the property is impeccable and the location is stunningproper off grid for total relaxation, it was just what we needed. The facilities are fabulous and it has everything that you need. It has plenty storage for your clothes, a full fridge and freezer which is handy due to its remoteness. The gas bbq was easy to use and really well maintained. We also made use of the empty draw in the kitchen for all our consumables. The Sheep Shed had a villa feel to it and on warmer days when you opened up the sliding doors to proper brought the outside in. The hot tub was beautiful and maintained every day, it was especially great at night if you like to watch the stars. We loved exploring farm too and we cant wait to return to do it all again.

Emily & Dan the owners are amazing. Dan and Emily were absolutely amazing! We had the most wonderful time with lots of new experiences. The views were stunning Windows XP desktop vibes and we were incredibly fortunate with the weather Early May Bank Holiday. The Sheep Shed had everything and more for supplies and stargazing in the hot tub was an added bonus we totally recommend that everyone try this at least once!
