We had a lovely 2 nights at the Shepherds Hut! It was very clean, modern and comfortable. We had read previous reviews about getting wet feet on the way up to the hut so packed our wellies to transfer our things. The bed was comfy and our two girls thought sleeping in the bunk beds was very exciting! Thanks for a great stay, we will definitely be recommending the hut to our friends.

A dream comes true. A detached luxury cabin with every comfort in absolute peace and quiet, yet in a super central location—Deanston Distillery is only 4 minutes away. Everything was exactly as described—absolutely fantastic! Super nice, helpful owners right in the manor house behind the hedge. Smiddy's Farmshop next door was another daily highlight. Yuma (the cat) absolutely loved roaming around on his meadow.
