A beautifully decorated shepherds hut in a peaceful private wood. Although small, there was everything we needed for a few nights stay. The wood provided for a campfire was particularly appreciated.
Lovely break, everything was perfect. Good amenities and comfy bed in a quiet woodland area. Strongly recommend for a getaway from everything
An amazing spot, well recommended! A*
A very quiet and peaceful location and just a short walk from the parking area.The shepherds hut was surprisingly roomy and had everything you needed for your stay.My only suggestion would be to have a toaster rather than use the cooker grill.Would definitely stay there again.
Fantastic location, ideal for visiting National Trust and English Heritage sites, as well as the beautiful Suffolk countryside. Quality accommodation where everything you could need is supplied. Fire pit is a great feature. Perfect rural retreat. Just remember to take some repellent spray and bite cream because there were lots of insects about, particularly in the evening when sitting out by the fire pit.
Excellent retreat, comfortable well appointed. If you want a back to nature get away with facilities this would be hard to beat!
We had a wonderful stay for 3 nights at the Woodland Retreat Shepherd's Hut. Though short on space, it made a lovely cosy location to escape to for a few days with some excellent pubs and restaurants in the surrounding areas (Blue Salt Grill in Woodbridge was a highlight, well worth the journey). The hut was well furnished with a primitive yet functional electic oven/hobs, with all the utensils necessary should you wish to self-cater. We were provided with a nice selection of provisions (milk, bread, butter, marmalade, eggs, bacon, etc) to start off our stay. Two minor points. Aside from opening windows, there was minimal ventilation to counter the condensation from the damp October weather, which was not really an option with the dropping temperatures. The heating system was also very confusing and, even with the provided instructions, I honestly didn't have a clue how to operate the underfloor heating during our entire stay. Overall we had an excellent stay and would highly recommend booking. I imagine this would be made even better during the summer periods, with the outdoor eating and a fire pit.
Very well equipped accommodation. Very clean. Set in a lovely peaceful wood.
A really relaxing break in a fantastic location. The hut was cosy and in the perfect setting to escape from the daily grind...
Loved the situation. Beautifully fitted out and a wonderfully comfortable bed. We would have appreciated having the cooker instructions more in evidence.
Lovelt place and very accommodating host.
Beautiful little retreat perfectly appointed magical woodland location ideal for rest relaxation and contemplation
Fabulous place. So peaceful and so well presented too. We really enjoyed our time here and we shall definitely be returning
We had the most perfect mini break at the shepherds hut. The hut was fastastic, it had everything we needed and it was spotless. The hut was situated in a beautiful little spot of woodland that was so peaceful. Our hosts were friendly and the little welcome hamper of essentials was a lovely touch. Thank you so much we hope to visit again.
