Mathew

Firstly I would like to show my appreciation for how helpful, generous and accommodating the owners were during our stay lovely place close to a couple of nice towns where can eat and drink, also during our stay we visited Shrewsbury prison which is only 25 mins away. Highly rexcomend!!

Was a great place to stay Paul and Jan was very friendly couldn't do enough to ensure we had the best stay. We went to Shrewsbury prison for the day only half hour travelling time hopefully in time we will be going back for another stay that you Paul and Jan for a lovely time.

The accommodation in the hut is amazing and well thought out. Has everything you need and great quality and clean. Private area, the hosts are really friendly and make you feel very welcome. Would definitely recommend for a couples retreat. Location is perfect for walks, local pubs, hot tub is also well maintained and ready for your use. Stayed in many places and would say this place is top of list. Thank you and would return again.

We enjoyed a lovely week, the hosts were very attentive giving us a brief demonstration of the property and hot tub. The hot tub was warmed up daily for us to use anytime from 3pm onwards. It was a beautiful setting with sheep, horses, chickens and a large pond on site. The property was clean and tidy and we have already recommended to friends and family.

Lovely place! Owners are amazing and accommodating The space is amazing and so safe for our dog The area is great loads to see

We had a lovely stay at the Oak Hut. It was just what we needed peaceful, but luxurious and in easy reach of lots of lovely things to see and do during the day before going back to the hot tub in the evening. Our lively border collie loved the enclosed garden, he had lots of room to run and play. Would definitely recommend!

The hut was the ideal place to get away from the hassle and bussell of general daily living. Peaceful with a huge paddock for the dogs. The hut had everything you needed with underfloor heating which was great we were there in November and were warm . Hosts were lovely and friendly.

Paul and Jan were absolutely fantastic hosts, they were incredibly welcoming and couldn'd do enough for us. They even gave us a lift to the pub and lent me a coat when I realised I had forgotten mine! The hut is lovely and cosy and the hot tub was fantastic. The enclosed paddock was brilliant for our dog to explore without being able to escape. Would definitely return, thanks again

Kieran

We had an amazing stay and the hosts are wonderful. The cabin was warm and everything was thought of in regards to what you will need for your stay. The area around the cabin was enclosed with plenty of room for our dog to run around and explore as well.

Excellent accommodation in a great get away from it all location. Hosts cant do enough for you. If your looking for a few days away from it all this is the place to do it

Joanne

Perfect peaceful spot for a solo traveller and dog. We felt very welcome by Paul, his family and many friendly animals! Gorgeous hut with everything you need for a quiet relaxing break. Super comfy bed. Very dog friendly with treats and bowls provided and a safe enclosed field which my dog loved. Lots of dog friendly places nearby to explore, all within a short drive. The air fryer was a bonus as I like to self cater. And there's a great choice of supermarkets just up the road in Whitchurch for supplies. We had a great week. Highly recommended.

We had a lovely relaxing stay at The Oak Hut. The hot tub was lovely in the evenings, overlooking the fields & the sheep horses. We had a lovely warm welcome and couldnt fault a thing. Will definitely be back, thank you!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay. Oak Hut is such a calming & relaxing beautiful spot. Paul & Jan were the perfect hosts, very helpful and friendly. Jan gave us a lift into Whitchurch which is very charming and picked us up again after our meal. Thank you once again! The hut is very comfortable, well equipped and was spotless. Hot tub was just perfect in this lovely peaceful haven. We highly recommend this beautiful & stunning hut.

Pauline

This was such an unexpected joy! Paul & Jan could not have done more to make our stay absolutely perfect. Jan even offered a lift to and from the pub! The huge garden is fully enclosed and the dog was free to roam to his heart's content. The hut is equipped with everything you could possibly need and some lovely thoughtful touches. Thank you for the Prosecco!The hot tub is glorious and Paul kept the logs topped up from morning to night. Such a beautiful, peaceful spot. Do not look anywhere else, book it!

Another fantastic stay at the Oak Hut. A very warm welcome by Jan and Paul. Everything was perfect.

What an absolutely memorial stay. Beautiful surroundings, stunning little cabin, perfect amenities. Just couldn't of wished for better. Paul and Jenny were the perfect hosts. Wonderful and friendly, helpful in every way possible. Just a delight all round. The photos and description simply don't do this the justice it deserves. We came for Hubby's birthday as a surprise for him, and even I was surprised by the picturesque beauty this little gem has to offer. Thank you both for allowing us into your little slice of paradise. We will be back again in the future.

Our second stay at this wonderful place and we will be back! The peace and quiet is priceless and the hot tub is a perfect way to relax after a day out! Jan and Paul are perfect hosts and can't do enough for you but without you ever feeling watched over, we absolutely love it here!

Oak Hut is in a lovely, peaceful location. It is comfortable, warm and well appointed. The outside decking area and hot tub are obviously the star of the show however! The hosts were superb, so welcoming and attentive. Really going above and beyond to make our stay memorable. I highly recommend a visit here.

Really enjoyed our stay, very peaceful, extremely tranquil setting. Property owners Paul and Jan couldn't do enough for us. Hot tub was extremely clean and has spectacular view of the sunset. The Oak Hut was spotlessly clean and had everything you need for a perfect stay. If we could have taken the bed home with us, we would have, it was that comfy. This is the place to go if you want a beautiful setting to watch the sunrise and sunset. The place is amazing.

Charlotte

Beautiful well equipped shepherds hut. Little touches were perfect. In a gorgeous location that is peaceful and private. Lovely hosts.

An idyllic setting. Lovely rural views. Very peaceful and secluded yet not far to an excellent pubrestaurant. Very comfortable and extremely well furnished and cozy warm, even in the coldest night of the year so far !! Very well thought out layout with everything you could need. Everything maintained to the highest standard. The icing on the cake being Jan and Paul the most excellent and friendliest of hosts . We will be booking again very soon.

Shannon

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. We were unlucky that we chose a weekend with a very bad storm meaning it was difficult to leave the hut. However, as its so accommodating it didn't matter much. They have thought of everything to ensure you are comfortable even if you get trapped in!. The owner Paul couldn't do enough for us and was very attentive. We will definitely be back in the Summer!

Paul and Jan are wonderful hosts, very polite and went out of their ways to make us feel welcome. The hut was cozy and the bed was so comfy. The location was beautiful and stunning.

Perfect place for a lovely chilled couples weekend. Host Jan was very accommodating and the local pub that she recommended Bull and Dog was fantastic!

Amazing stay, absolutely was perfect. The owner were so nice and made the stay even better. Would 100 recommend.

The Oak Hut was situated in a lovely, calm and quiet area. We much appreciated the hot tub and Paul ensuring it was hot for us every day of our stay. We would love to return.

Bethany

Our stay at the Oak Hut was perfect. The hosts Jan and Paul are super welcoming and very helpful. We loved the beautiful, peaceful surroundings and the sheeps, horses and dogs in the surrounding paddocks were so fun to watch. The hut is cosy, clean and has everything you need. It's also easily accessible and close to nearby towns and attractions. A highlight for us was watching the sunset from the hot tub. We took our small dog and the property is completely secure and fenced in so we could let him off leash which was great. The hut also provided treats and pet bowls which is a thoughtful touch. It's nice to stay in a dogfriendly property that actually cares about dogs! Overall a great experience and we would return in a heartbeat. Thank you!

Amazing place to stay have been twice now the owners were so accommodating with a heath problem following an operation that I had as well. Very friendly and amazingly clean they even cleaned and refilled the hot tub mid week during our stay which was great. Nothing seemed too much trouble.

Kept nice, clean and modern. Easy to maintain. The hosts were absolutely amazing and able to help us with the hot tub to keep it warm for us while we were out. Bests hosts weve stayed with!

Charlotte
