Keys where left in a locked box and the instructions say to take a left, we didn’t realise there was a break in the hedges to take a left to but our host Julian came out to guide us as we ended up walk round his garden
We were unable to use the garden due to the weather so we will now have to visit in the summer 😊

The hosts had left milk and beers in the fridge which was so kind and lovely and there were coffee and tea readily available, it was a very welcoming start. Beautiful views, scenery and villages all around were gorgeous and people were really friendly! No microwave and minimal technology, exactly what you need for a recuperating and nice getaway! A lot to see and explore around the area.

Lovely quite location with everything we needed in the hut. It was more spacious than we thought and very comfortable. Our hosts were great with communication and made checking in and out very easy. We didn't spend much time in the local town apart from having dinner next to the Abbey, it is a very beautiful view.

Exactly as advertised. Lovely, cosy, well equipped cabin. Great location and very peaceful.
The only negative was the outside area could have done with bit of a tidy up/ clean but wouldn’t stop me returning.

The shepherds hut was in the most beautiful and tranquil spot and was kitted out with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The owners have thought of everything! The beers and milk left for us in the fridge were a kind touch.
Our stay was during a heatwave and the outdoor seating and dining with the cover of mature, leafy trees was very welcome. It’s a private little spot in beautiful gardens with a horse in the field in the grounds. Idyllic.
We thoroughly enjoyed our couple of nights in beautiful spot within an area of outstanding beauty.
Nothing.

The whole cabin and garden was spotless, the bed was very comfy, sitting at night in the garden with string lights around and the firepit going was absolute bliss!! The area is peaceful and the town is quaint with lots of history.

Amazing location and the cabin had everything you could wish for. Really appreciated the little extras in the fridge (beer and milk 😁)
Just the wobbly toilet seat 🤣

Shepherds Delight is an amazing, well designed shepherds hut in beautiful surroundings with everything needed to make your stay perfect. The location is great for breathtaking walks and not too far to walk for Tintern Abbey. A gorgeous log burner is perfect for those chilly evenings with plenty of wood, or there's an outdoor firepit for those long summer evenings.
That we didn't stay longer

The property was clean and everything you needed for an overnight stay. Modern and contemporary inside. Very quiet. Electric heating was quick to heat the chalet.
Although we couldn't locate the key lock box from the directions given. The host saw us through the window of the main house looking lost and came out to help, so that was OK. Thank goodness it wasn't dark !
The directions to find the lock box and the chalet once we reached the property were ambigous. The instructions said 50 metre from the car park so logically we followed the tarmaced footpath. However the location was indeed 50 metres from the carpark but along a grassy footpath, so inevitably we missed the hut.
The loo seat moved sideways when used which was very unsettling! I reported this immediately but the host didn't get back to us until a day after we had left.
It would have been helpful if there was some washing up liquid, kitchen cleaning spray and kitchen paper provided so make the cleaning of the kitchen possible. We had to provided our own.

Very pretty & practical
Sign for Apple Tree Barn is not noticeable at all, needs repainting for better access.
We drove past it 3 times, if it had been winter & dark you would never had seen it

A very cozy stay, exactly what we were looking for! A lovely location with lots of walks available from the door step and not too far from the nearest village. Very clean and warm in the cabin. Highly recommend!

I wanted a few days peace and quiet to myself, and this was perfect. The owner has done everything to create a simple but comfortable and cosy retreat. I didn't leave the hut once in three days #hermitlife. But it's also a great base if you're exploring the area. Tintern is lovely, and there are a few walking and bike trails in the area.
Checking in is simple: park a few yards away and retrieve the keys from the lockbox.
The interior was exceptionally clean and tidy, with all the basics you need - including a couple of bottles of local beer waiting for you in the fridge. (Good stuff, by the way.)
There's a couple of chairs, two barstools and of course the bed. Comfy bed, too, with storage below. The usual kitchen utensils plus kettle, oven, cooktop, and fridge. No microwave or dishwasher but you won't miss them. You'll be happy washing your dishes by hand watching the horse in the field across the drive.
Bathroom is small, as you'd expect. But how much time are you going to be spending in there anyway?
There's a small log burner, with firelighters, kindling and logs provided. Like every other log burner, it throws out a ton of heat and it heats up the hut very quickly. There's also an electric panel radiator if you don't want to use the burner. The radiator alone with keep you warm.
Most important, of course - wifi! The hut is out in the sticks, but the speed (about 6MB/s, sometimes faster) was plenty for video calls and streaming video. Mobile connection is patchy, but if you've got wifi calling on your phone, you're golden.
Next time I want some time to myself, I'd definitely come here again. Might do a bit of exploring next time. Might just stay in. Again.

beautiful little hut with everything you need. nice and quiet. A bit of a walk from the centre of tintern, took around 35 minutes. plenty of walks on the doorstep, along with pubs.
The bed was too short for my 6 foot partner and the pillows weren’t the best. the shower was a bit temperamental and very low pressure
