Shepherd Hut

"Absolutely lovely place to stay. The friendly sheep in the field behind were a nice hit. Laura had thought of everything, we were greeted with a nice hamper of treats!! The views were lovely and it was a peaceful stay!"

"It is very quaint and unusual that is what attracted us to it, the log fire makes very cosy and warm . The kitchen is adequately equipped and what was also lovely is that the hosts provided us with a welcome pack. Overall it was a very enjoyable holiday."

"Maple Retreat is a luxurious and peaceful woodland hideaway in Melmerby, offering stunning views of the Pennines and Eden Valley, cosy amenities, and outdoor dining options, making it the perfect escape for a relaxing break near the Lake District."

“Absolutely brilliant, the hut had everything we could possibly need, enjoyed the experience.”

"Beautifully converted former train carriage"

“We loved how private and romantic the hut was. We felt like we were the only 2 people in the world. We also loved all the little things that were thought about such as the blankets for outside, treats in the fridge, the robes and the cute little book that people could write messages in. We loved everything”

“Beautiful wagon in a beautiful, private garden, it's enchanting. We are looking forward to visiting in the summer, to see the garden and enjoy the barbecue and fire pit. The view is stunning and the sky at night was lit with stars”

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Blatchford Brair; the setting is so wonderfully peaceful and tranquil. The views across the fields are absolutely stunning. The hut we had was well equipped with utensils, a good-sized shower, and a very comfy bed. It is also beautifully furnished. We also used the fire pit to cook our breakfast in the morning. I loved the little extras including the fire wood, hot chocolate maker, marshmallows, and flapjacks. Nearby Tavistock is a delightful little town and close to Dartmoor. I would definitely recommend Blatchford Briar for a couple’s getaway.”

“This was a really nice peaceful getaway. Easy to find and they were so many little touches that made it feel special”

“Love the shepherd's hut, everything was spot on, loads of hot water, decorated beautifully, and the bed was very comfortable indeed. The location was beautiful and also very peaceful.”
