Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviews frequently highlight the cleanliness of the accommodation, with guests satisfied with the level of hygiene. One mention of cobwebs suggests minor room for improvement.
The location is appreciated for its peacefulness and proximity to local shops and a zoo, making it a great base for exploring. However, limited Wi-Fi and signal strength slightly affect the score.
Comfort is highly rated, with guests finding the beds and furnishings of good quality. The cosy and well-planned layout of the shepherds hut adds to the comfort level.
Facilities are generally well-received, with mentions of a well-equipped hut and added bonuses like a fire pit. Some concerns about child safety and storage space for food slightly lower the score.
The property's thoughtfulness is evident in the welcome pack for dogs, although it must be noted that such gifts are a delightful surprise and not guaranteed.

If needed, our little dog could have been provided with a bed, blanket, bowl, towel and treats at no extra charge. A very restful and peaceful holiday

The staff are so lovely and cannot do enough, they have been so welcoming from before we even got here! The cabin is brilliant, very clever layout for lots in such a small space. The beds and sofa are very comfortable, and good quality bedding is included. Be warned if you have a small toddler that likes to touch everything (like ours) the microwave/oven, kettle, cutlery draw are all within easy reach and can be turned on very easily by them. Don't go mad with shopping as not a huge amount of place to store, but there is a decent size fridge with a little freezer box at the top. You wouldn't be able to cook large meals, but we've done well with pre cooked pasta, ready meals and tinned stuff in the microwave and hob. We tried the local fish and chip shop a couple of times and that was really tasty, we used the corner shop for essentials/snacks and just drove to the sainsburys in Attleborough for more specific things. Lovely little day out to the zoo next door and it's great to hear the zoo animals at night. The onsite Park is probably more suited to slightly older children, my 4year old was just a little too small, and my toddler wasn't able to do very much, but they just love running around the grass anyway! We drove to the little park in Attleborough one day which is a nice little play area for them both. If you come in winter time like us, make sure you have wellies, it gets very muddy everywhere!! We loved it so much, we managed to extend our week by a few more days, and the park team couldn't have been more helpful with this!
