Situated in a beautiful patch of countryside, we loved our stay in this handcrafted shepherd's hut. The king-size bed was so comfy and the cozy throws made evenings by the wood burner delightful. Little details like the welcome breakfast hamper added to our experience. It felt like a charming escape from our busy lives, surrounded by nature and lovely wildlife.

Overall, I was impressed with my solo visit to this shepherd's hut in nature’s embrace. It had all modern comforts while still letting me feel close to wildlife roaming around outside. Star-gazing at night next to the fire pit really stood out as an experience I won’t forget anytime soon.

De prijs voelde eerlijk voor wat je hier krijgt tijdens een weekendje weg uit het stadsleven. De barbecue op het terras liet ons genieten van diner buiten onder de sterren na een drukke dag van het verkennen van nabijgelegen bezienswaardigheden. Zeker elke cent waard.

Unsere Familie hatte eine schöne Zeit in dieser Eichen-Hirtenhütte. Die Kinder hatten Spaß daran, draußen Kaninchen zu beobachten, während wir in der gut ausgestatteten Küche Mahlzeiten zubereiteten. Wir schätzten es, dass sie haustierfreundlich war, da wir unseren Hund mitgebracht hatten. Insgesamt sorgte es für einige angenehme Momente zusammen weg von zu Hause.
