The Laburnum Retreat Shepherds Hut with private hot tub

Lovely, quiet and relaxing

Slightly more storage space would have been good

We absolutely loved the property. It was cosy, comfortable and had everything we needed. The hot tub was great and the bed was so comfy. We would highly recommend as a little couples getaway. The location was great, with lovely walks and pubs with great food. It’s also a 15/20 minute drive to Buxton which is lovely too.

Would love for the hot tub to be allowed to stay on later than 10pm but understand it’s for noise reasons.

Location brilliant. Hot tub excellent. Really good location to be off grid and away from people

Was all good

I can't fault the location, the views from the hut were stunning and you're so close to so many different walks if you were staying a long time. Yes it's down a bit of a pot holed lane but you're in the country and my beetle managed it fine! The hut it itself was lovely and had everything you need for a short stay. Well equipped kitchen (if being fussy they could get some matching cutlery and some more glasses as the plastic ones we had were cracked). Bed and chairs comfy. No Internet (which we knew about and no issue with) and very little signal so made to relax and read my book which I enjoyed! Check in was dead easy (just make sure you've got the lockbox number sent via email saved).

The hot tub didn't get above 35 degrees when we were there (despite being set to 38) so we weren't able to enjoy this as much as we wanted. As no Internet or contact number for the place incase of any issues we weren't able to advise the owners of this. It did put a dampener on the stay as we'd specifically booked a place with a tub. There is alot of 'information' around the hut and accommodation/parking areas - while helpful to have and advise about alot of it comes across as quite aggressive (charges will be made!) and I feel this could be reworded to be more friendly and welcoming. It might be helpful to have some information about the local walks, especially as you could just walk from the hut if you were staying a longer time than us. Overall just felt like somewhere people want to rent out to make a little extra cash but to not be bothered by any issues while you're there.
