Shepherds House was comfortable and very well equipped - the pool table was a real bonus and the garden was fab, perfect for our dogs. The location was great, set down a quiet country lane but within easy reach of the village of Lowick, which had a lovely pub and well stocked village shop. We would definitely book Shepherds House again!

One of the bedrooms (has an ensuite) is within the original house and has its own staircase to it making it ideal for a multi generational holiday. Two other bedrooms also have ensuites and the bathroom is really near to the one without an ensuite. The property has everything needed with plenty of dishes, pans etc. Very rural location so its quiet with lots of outside space. Takes about 10 minutes to get to the A1 for trips out. We used the postcode to locate the property and this got us very near to the entrance gate, it's just a short drive further down the narrow road to the actual house so be sure to proceed further. The owner provided what three words but the phone signal is bad so this wasn't reliable when first locating the house. In summary a large house with all you'd need.
