Thank you for a lovely stay! Me, my partner and our dog came down to the area from Lancashire to visit Crick Boatshow and decided on a last minute stay. When we arrived, at the Shepherds Hut, we were absolutely delighted with the surroundings, the décor and everything inbetween. Everything is perfect, from start to finish. The bed is so comfy, and the shower is brilliant. After getting stuch on the mud at the boat show thanks to great British wether, it was a delight to be able to come back here, use the lovely little touches like the shampoo and conditioner, put our feet up, get the fire roaring and have a nice cup of tea. We will definitely be returning, and hopefully won’t need towing out of the mud next time! Thank you again
