It was all great, I have no complaints whatsoever.

Mary and Robert are fantastic hosts and they have created a very special, welcoming place. The shepherds' huts are cosy and comfortable, the garden a verdant haven and the breakfast was simply delicious. I hope to return soon to explore the area and nature trails more fully.

Very remote. Depending on the traveler, this can be a positive or a negative.

The hosts were especially friendly and kind. They are very nice people who obviously enjoy doing this.

This was one of my favourite places I have ever stayed. The rural property was beautiful and serene. I enjoyed the evening sitting outside of "the barn". Mary was so friendly and welcoming. The huts themselves were cozy and nicely decorated. I had a great sleep because it was so peaceful. The breakfast in the morning had lots of fresh and homemade products and was delicious.

Everything was great. You have to share bathrooms but this is clear when you book and the bathrooms were clean.

I loved the little shepherds hut, the beautiful location and the friendly hosts.

It was wonderful from start to finish.

Beautiful setting in a very thoughtfully designed, ecologically conscious space. Great for the soul!

Love the whole place. Loved the trees and gardens. Mary was very welcoming from the home made bread to the honey straight off the honeycomb for breakfast! Next time we will do one of the foraging courses!

Loved it all.

It was very comfortable and the hostess was super. We had great accommodations and excellent breakfasts and on our last morning, the hostess brought us some fresh honeycomb from her own bees which was very special.

A unique experience with exceptional breakfast.

I'd have like to have had a set bathroom to use as there were 3 water rooms and unfortunately another guest didn't believe in flushing the toilet after themselves.

The host Mary was absolutely amazing, incredibly friendly and polite. She made a fantastic breakfast each morning and was very welcoming.

Stayed in August 2023

For two people the bed is a bit tight and maby a more confi matress otherwise we slept all night

Breakfast was excellent Mary the host was so welcoming and informative. The whole experience was a great surprise. The peace and beauty of the location was a major plus and we hope to revisit it.

I wouldn't change anything.

The Blackstairs Shepherds hut is more than a place to stay, it is something to be experienced, a lovely tranquil environment surrounded by nature. We loved the beautiful gardens and meadow , and towering old oak and beech trees. On the second evening , the sun came out , so we sat in the patio area, lit the barbecue with hardwood twigs and branches kindly provided by Robert , and we were in heaven . The breakfast laid out each morning was perfect , we couldn't ask for more. Robert is a great host. He stopped by each morning and evening for a chat which we thoroughly enjoyed. He was very informative about the surrounding area and about the activities in the Blackstairs eco centre.

All excellent! Mary and Robert fabulous hosts … can’t wait to go back !

Stayed in July 2023

Nothing. It was all even better than expected although. If I have to find a slight negative it has to be the shared bathroom but you can’t expect private facilities in this type of eco- environment.

Its location, the welcome and the breakfasts. Its charging point for our hybrid car. Its setting in the Blackstairs Mountains

i can’t say enough good about this wonderful wonderful idyll. from the moment we arrived, our hosts, Mary & Robert were so warm in their welcoming, efficient communicators, and full of useful information about the area. the hut itself was so cosy and nicely appointed with rugs and a snuggly down duvet, and the common area was super as well. the kitchen was perfect for making a delicious breakfast with fresh eggs, fresh herbs from the garden, and nice coffee. The communal atmosphere too made for a very friendly opportunity to meet other people, and generally have a relaxed and convivial time shared. a the bird song!

Booked as I've always wanted to stay in a Sheppard's hut. But blackstairs is so much more, foraging trips, walks around the grounds, wonderful homemade soda bread and very good host's. Beautiful surroundings love to go again.
