Ali's Little Woodland Wonder Shepherd's Hut
Just SO cool!
It was everything and more than I’d hoped for. Ali and Andrew were super-friendly and the whole place was cool, clean and utterly retro. Stayed with my dog on a writing retreat and haven’t a bad word to say about the place. The shower was better than my one at home and the hut itself is just a sanctuary. Will definitely be back.

Ali's Little Woodland Wonder Shepherd's Hut
The perfect weekend
Normally I wouldn't go for any kind of off grid experiences but my partner is all for it. Well... safe to say I will be coming back to Ali and Andrew's place! We happened to go on the friday of the hottest week in England on record...but you wouldn't know that as it was cloudy with drizzles of rain all weekend but it didn't put us off. Ali and Andrew couldn't be anymore welcoming if they tried! When we arrived everything was set up ready plus some cheese & biscuits,Chutney, chocolate and fresh milk from their cows! Along with some gravy bones for my four legged little boy :). During our weekend we were given more fresh milk in the morning. Along with a little drink each to apologise for farm traffic but thats what we expected with staying so close to multiple farms! The hut was cosy and so comfortable and we both slept like a dream! The compost loo is an experience as the signs say when you arrive! We werent quite brave enough for the shower due to the cool weather. My dog loved having free range of the hut and surrounding grassy areas! He wasnt sure on the cows who visited on our last morning but we were! Everything about this place was just perfect. We wish Ali and Andrew the best in all their businesses and ventures and we hope to be back at Ali's Woodland Retreat again soon. X

Ali's Little Woodland Wonder Shepherd's Hut
Ali’s little woodland wonder is a gem !we were looking for somewhere to take our 3 year son for his first road trip in our vw camper but we needed security with a wild camp environment. The shepherds hut was the perfect combination for us! A little more space for us with the bonus of being able to park our van beside it so we all slept comfortably. The shepherds hut is gorgeous and the camp kitchen was great we had the best time just relaxing and enjoying nature. Ali herself and her husband were the most perfect hosts. We will be back

Ali's Little Woodland Wonder Shepherd's Hut
We’ve had our eye on this site for a while, and have to say it exceeded our expectations. We were looking for a shepherd’s hut for a couple, on a site in a private location, but that would also allow for extra family members for a night or so. Ali’s Little Woodland Wonder met these requirements perfectly! The site and facilities are very well-maintained and equipped. The Shepherd’s Hut is very comfortable and the shower and compost loo worked well and were easy to use. Our young granddaughter was fascinated by having to turn the shower on at a tree! Alison and Andrew are friendly, welcoming, relaxed and generous hosts and were very happy for us to move things around as we needed. They provided a tin of ‘goodies’ on our arrival, as much free farm milk as we needed and a regular exchange of ice blocks. They were more than happy for us to erect 2 extra tents next to the Shepherd’s Hut and totally relaxed about our grandchildren being there and roaming about the site. The children were very happy to be there: collecting and chopping firewood from the wood for the fire pit, cycling up and down the track, seeing the cows and calves, investigating the wildlife and plants around the pond and checking out Alison’s vintage ‘finds’.
This site would suit a wide-range of people: from those who prefer their camping on the wild side to camping ‘newbies’ - and everyone in between! We highly recommend.

Ali's Little Woodland Wonder Shepherd's Hut
This is a special place. Secluded, in a beautiful environment with fantastic hosts. The shepherds hut is clean and equipped with lovely vintage pieces, theres plenty of warm bedding and a fantastic mini stove that keeps the whole place toasty. The camp kitchen is a brilliant addition and means theres no food mess in the hut! Theres everything you need to cook on the 2 ring gas stove and we were welcomed with a lovely little hamper of jam, butter, crackers and cheese (thank you Ali!). Hot running water feels like a luxury and the toilet and shower serve you well. Ali and her husband could not have been more lovely and helpful, we even got the hold the lambs and see the calfs! The best thing about this place is that its all yours!

We spent a weekend in Ali’s shepherds hut and would definitely visit again. Ali as a host could not have been more hospitable.
The hut was cosy, very well equipped and immaculate. It sits in its own private little wood.Bed very comfortable and log burner a nice touch. Decor lovely. Area very scenic.
We would highly recommend.
