Thanks for such a lovely review and thanks especially for mentioning the efforts with the tubs because that's really important to me - I'd want a clean tub, if it wasn't it'd put me off so what I want people to hear. Would love to host you again as you were lovely guests x

Relaxing stay

We had a really peaceful time at Sam’s Shepherd’s Hut. A restful location and lovely, cosy interior. Sam was a helpful, accommodating host and we couldn’t have asked for more.

Excellent communication with Sam before arrival.On arrival she was very welcoming.Throughout our stay she was very accommodating.Excellent local food recommendations.Really loved the fact that she does not use chlorine in her hot tubs but more environmentally and humanly friendly solutions. So nice not to stink of chlorine after using it, and skin felt so much nicer. Bed really comfy, and well equipped kitchen.Would recommend to friends.

An amazing stay

We had a wonderful weekend in this shepherds hut. Sam was a great host, excellent communication before the stay and when we arrived. The hut was exactly as the photos depict on the website. Once the heater had done its job, it was really cosy and warm in there despite the outside temperature. Can't fault it. Would highly recommend. Pevensey Bay/Eastbourne are well worth a visit. Geo coffee shop in the village is lovely. If you want to go to the Observatory Stargazing evenings - book in advance, it was sold out for the night we wanted.

Midweek stay for 2 nights mid November

Great little mini get away. Facilities per perfect. Hut was small and basic but very cosy and we didn’t want for anything. Very clean and warm. Bathroom facilities very good. Hot tub was a lovely little treat. Greeted by the owner on arrival. There was a lot of safety information to take in re hot water tanks, radiators, coffee pots, hot tubs, automatic lights, slippery steps. Which of course were important to relay but perhaps a little overwhelming in the dark after a long drive. Perhaps some of this information could be printed into a little information pack to enhance the experience. Would defo recommend.
