    Would have preferred it a bit larger. Plus shower and loo en-suite. But it wasn’t a problem.

    Lovely peaceful situation

    Comfortable pod close to Gill's Bay, very convenient for travel to Orkney. Having a kettle, microwave and cereal in the pod were a bonus.

    Nothing. Shame we couldn't stay longer.

    Very quiet and peaceful, super comfortable bed, extremely clean and very well furnished. The host was also lovely, introduced herself at the start of the trip and let us know how to reach her in case we needed anything.

    The pods are so cute! I travelled solo and there was just enough room for 1 suitcase. Heater works well and the sound of rain on the pod exterior is so relaxing. You can even hear nearby livestock, which just adds to the atmosphere. Friendly host and good tips provided inside the pod. Good news - the road is brand new and no more pot holes!

    The location was great, peaceful and quiet. Debbie was very friendly and welcoming. The pod was comfortable for a couple plus dog and was well appointed including breakfast goodies and milk. The separate wash pod was also well designed and laid out.

    Would have liked just a little more in kitchenette. A large bowl for heating things in microwave and maybe a bread knife.

    Lovely and clean. Comfortable bed. Very cosy. Good that milk, coffee, tea and some breakfast cereals were left out for us. Friendly welcome when we arrived from owner and fellow travellers.

    Everything. The hut was really clean, very nicely presented and filled with lovely little touches like dvds to watch, snacks and even porridge and cereal for breakfast! There was a pint of milk provided along with a microwave, kettle and air fryer. Debbie was a fantastic host, great communication and a lovely welcome making sure we had everything we needed. Beautiful sunset and clear skies to see the stars at night.

    Nothing to dislike

    The Shepherd’s Hut was such a stunning property, small but perfectly formed! Such a clever use of space to make it incredibly cosy, comfortable and welcoming. Debbie as host has clearly put a lot of care and attention into making it feel so special and was a great host, both with pre-stay communication and in welcoming us at the accommodation. Could not recommend this place highly enough, it would be a pleasure to be able to stay there again.

    Great pods

    Only reason for 9 stars and not 10 was due to the fact the door to Morven appears to have dropped which made opening and closing a little more difficult and felt like we were having to slam it, which later in the evening and earlier in the morning, being considerate campers, we felt a little uncomfortable about. Minor adjustment would be all that it requires.

    The pod was clean and cozy. The milk in the fridge was a lovely touch. Although we sourced our own breakfast prior to arrival, we really appreciated the added bonus of the cereal and porridge sachets, provided. The private shower room was a great addition and was in clean order. We liked the fact that shower gel and shampoo were provided too. Overall we had a really lovely stay, thank you!
