The property suited me because I wanted to feel like I was out in the wild moors & mountains of Scotland with no-one around me.

Lovely location. Everything provided. The sort of place thta would be better in the summer as the facilities are spread out, like real camping. But a lovely cosy hut to retreat to and the wood stove is excellent.

The shower in the nature, grilling marshmallows at the fireplace in the room, the cozy kitchen with the beautiful view over the landscape

The shepherds hut was so cosy and beautiful. The setting was lovely. A proper wee escape in nature. Anna (and the dogs & chickens) was so welcoming. The welcome gifts were a real treat. The experience of the compostable toilet was a real adventure!! Loved the head torch to find my way back to the hut.

Absolutely stunning location. Beautiful scenery. The shepherd's hut was quirky and peaceful. Anna, our hoist, greeted us . Nice little welcome gift ,which went down a treat . Friendly wild life and Frank the Rooster 🐓 with his little lady friends chicken 🐔. Sleep so well in this peaceful part of the countryside. Would highly recommend.

Absolutely loved the off-grid living for the night. The wood burning fire to warm the cabin was exceptional. We had a lovely stay

Word to the wise - we missed this information but the loo and shower are outside - a great experience but unexpected.

Location was amazing and host was informative

This was one of the best experiences of our trip! The setting was picture perfect, the bed was almost too comfy and the aesthetic and feel of staying in the Birkenshaw was 10/10!

Everything was just perfect, I suppose the only thing I would add maybe a bit more cutlery down at the Sheppard's hut and possible a couple of branches cut so when you look at the window you can get a clear view of the breath taking scenic views

Unique place to stay and it was just perfect and beautiful. Scenic views are breath-taking. We were meet by Anna and Steve who took us through everything and all the facilities that they have to offer and it was nice to be 'Off Grid' with no phones to hand as they were charring in the Sun Room where all the electric is and the use of the kettle. Sun Room was fully stocked with everything you need and Anna made sure there was fresh milk in the fridge. Sun Room had so much with games and information in it. The views again were spectacular from there, but we didn't really spend much time in the Sunroom as we only had a night and wanted to make full use of the Sheppard's hut. Just beautiful to be able to sit outside with a log fire burning away wrapped in blankets (plenty of blankets in the sun Room) watching the sunset with no light pollution and chickens running about outside around you. Anna even came down and spoke to us about the northern lights making an appearance and they did!! We were so lucky to see the northern lights. Lovely to wake up in the morning to birds feeding on the bird feeder. Everything is self catering so make sure that you bring breakfast with you. Anna left us some lovely little treats include Local Gin and the home made shortbread was delicious we could of just eaten that!! We are looking to re visit in a couple of years time and and see how Anna and Steve adventure is going.

Really enjoyed staying here, very peaceful and beautiful. The outdoor shower was great fun.

Stayed in September 2023

We enjoyed it all.

Anna and Steve really thought about everything, the place is absolutly beautiful with a stunning view over the mountains and the sea. Close to nature and cozy in once. The hut - made with love, details, very comfortable bed, sweet welcome, warm light, you can see the stars at night, very good isolation. The „bathroom“ - it was very interesting to use the compost toilet, its super easy, like using a „normal“ toilet but better for the environment. As someone who likes it warm I was absolutely fine using the outdoorshower. I liked it alot. The sun room- absolutely beautiful, with everything you need to cook and relax. We didnt use the outdoors but the fireplace has a nice view and comfy chairs.

I didn't want to leave!

The location was private and stunningly beautiful. The facilities were, as advertised, a little rustic but everything worked a treat.

Nothing, it was all lovely

Very lovely warm welcome, beautiful shepherds hut with very nice details and touches, gorgeous surroundings.

Stayed in July 2023

Nothing really. Don’t expect to have a hot shower every day. It’s not happening.

Lovely place to get away from it all. Set up an isolated road, with lovely hosts who were very accommodating. The Shepherds Hut itself is really comfortable and the silence and peacefulness is good for the soul. Certainly, this one. The chickens are hilarious and if there’s a chance you have food scraps, the will be your best friends for the duration.

It is a fantastic place in a beautiful location. The hut had everything you need with a lot of extra personal touches that made it special. The compost loo was as expected, but we didn't brave the shower. If you want to have a peaceful, quiet stay, then i would highly recommend this place. If you are using Google maps to find the location type in Fiddlers Green, it took us straight to it

Nothing loved everything about our stay.

We liked everything about this property it was so quirky and really appreciate what Anna and Steve are doing to reduce there carbon footprint. It is eco glamping at its finest. Good phone signal.

Beautiful location, a surprising number of facilities and details, friendly owners whom were very accomodating. The sun room gave flexibility in what we could do to self cater, and the hut itself was very well decorated and cosy. Somewhere I would definitely return to
