“The genuine charm here centres around the donkeys; their friendly presence at your gate for a groom or a feed creates a truly special connection. The shepherd's hut itself is a comfortable and clean base, surprisingly well-equipped with even a small freezer, all set within a peaceful, scenic location. It's a place where quiet enjoyment is amplified by these gentle animals and a welcoming farm dog.”
