Fantastic 4 day break in the cosy shepherds hut - check in was hassle free and accommodation ready on arrival - kitchen facilities were more than adequate - location was peaceful and quiet with a couple of local pubs The Pleasure Boat & The Greyhound both within walking distance - Wi-Fi was easily connected too - great location to get to all the local tourist areas - only downside was lack of draws/storage for our clothes - fantastic hospitality from the host from arrival to departure will definitely be returning.

Wonderful little relaxing retreat. Everything spot on. Great location for the broads and the beach. Lots in walking distance too. Sheapherd hut was high quality, cleanliness and amenities spot on. Opportunity for improvement would be to support non greeting check in with images of room, parking and key storage Ovarall 5* stay Mr Secretan

Our stay at the Shepherd's Hut

We were very impressed with this property. The location is very peaceful in grounds with a lovely lake and lots of outdoor space. The team on site were friendly, approachable and hospitable. The property itself was clean, as listed and well thought out in terms of layout and content. The pop up pizza bar on the broads was a short walk away. We would recommend booking if hoping to eat at any of the local restaurants / pubs. This was a relaxing, low tech break in beautiful surroundings. We would recommend it for a quiet break away and we will be back.

The sage green shepherds hut, Hickling Heath.

The property has been decorated very tastefully and was immaculate. Only one comment to make and that is I wish there had been a stool to climb up onto the bed, and an obvious welcome sheet as we only found that on our last evening. Like the trays were in the cupboard and how to work the hob. Other than that couldn’t fault it.

Simply Perfect

This property surpassed any expectations I had and delivered on every count. It was immaculately kept and had everything we could possibly need for or short break. The bed was super comfy and the sheets were divine. The bathroom was also perfect, clean and well stocked with beautiful products. The little touches did not overpower the decor and we felt relaxed instantly. I would thoroughly recommend this property for anyone who wants a secluded and blissfully quiet getaway. Communication from the host was wonderful and we were given tips on where to visit and the overall surrounding area. We explored the village and walked to the pub, which although was unfortunately full for food, was friendly and welcoming.

Idyllic and amazing

The hut was amazing in every way! I loved all of the small details and accurate planning of the overall design. The hut was warm and the bed was super comfy. Completely relaxing with the added advantages on daily visitors of wild rabbits, ducks, various birds and even a baby deer one day. The purpose of my visit was to visit nearby family who were experiencing many difficulties so the days were hectic but returning to the hut at the end of a hectic day was a very welcome and relaxing experience. Tje area is rek own for poor wifi signal but I did manage to get a good enough signal for videocalls and spotify in and outside of the hut. My advice would be to bring some form of independent entertainment for background noise as it is extremely quiet. Overall an amazing stay and just perfect for my needs.

Peaceful and uncomplicated

No TV, no oven, not even a table inside. So no distractions. We needed the time out of the rush of relocation, and when I saw this advertised I knew it was for us. A short walk from the staithe at the Pleasure Boat Inn, which is currently running a magnificent pizza van as well as an outside bar - try the Woodfordes Wherry. The Norfolk Wildlife Trust runs tours on Hickling Broads from their nearby reserve HQ. We took the evening one, the best time to see Hickling. The staff at Heath Priory are a delight, it is not just huts and cabins, many alternative therapies such as Neuro-Linguistic Programming and Vibrational Sound Therapy are on offer from a range of local practitioners. The hut, though small, was well designed, and suitable for those who travel light. If all you need is a camera, sketchbook, or notebook and pencil, and space to think, this is you place.
