Shepherds hut was wonderful, comfortable bed, lovely bathroom, everything we needed. Key feature is the outdoor space, beautiful garden with firepit, hammock and deckchairs to enjoy. Do note that the mini fridge really is mini! Only space for a bottle of milk and a bottle of wine. Wasn't a problem though as the owners kindly leant us a cool box and ice packs to keep our supplies cool. Owners were fab, very helpful but gave us lots of privacy. Perfect stay, will be back!

It is compact but every inch of space was maximised and we had everything we needed for a weekend stay. The setting was so peaceful and the hosts were on hand to answer any questions. The hammock is a genius touch and we loved being within easy reach of places such as Sutton Hoo, The Ramsholt Arms, Bawdsey and Woodbridge.
