    Nothing really - I guess if we were coming back we'd probably do it in the warmer weather but nothing you can really do about that.

    The shepherd's hut is well thought out, with everything that you need for a comfortable stay - the beds are super-comfy! . The addition of the kettle, toaster and microwave and all crockery was really helpful for making breakfast. We loved the chickens and dogs coming to visit us in the morning too!

    Lovely comfortable shepards hut to crash out in after a hard day's hiking in the mountains. On a pretty working farm with great views. The farms dog and hens came over and said hello!

    The stunning location beats all possible perceived inconveniences associated with staying in a hut. Friendly responsive host. For those travelling on public transport like us the bus stop is just a stone throw's away.

    Nil - it’s as described with a campsite style loo and shower in a separate structure. Went to bed and Garmin said I got 12h sleep. Perfect.

    Exactly as described, I was there solo but would have been even better value as a group of hill walkers.

    A bit uncomfortable with kids to cope with bathroom and toilet outside, specially during the night. But this was clearly mentioned in the description.

    The location was outstanding and the view on the mountains was just incredible.

    A drier path to the toilet from the cabin would be appreciated! The one toilet/shower room was shared with another cabin but you had to brave the wet to find out if it was occupied. A folding chair or two would add to the facility. The only seating was on the beds.

    The hut provided a lovely glamping experience. The provision of bedding and towels was excellent. The view was superb! The shower room was clean and had heating (but not necessary for our visit in August).

    Beds were small for a 6 foot plus person. Also shared bathroom was I use when needed but was fully aware of this before booking so no issues there.

    Quirky with a super location. Views were great

    We didn’t realise that the bathroom would be shared with other guests. Apart from that it was great.

    It was a lovely rustic cabin on a working farm. It was so nice and quirky in a fun way. We were greeted by roaming friendly pigs on our arrival. The owner was super friendly and very helpful. The cabin was extremely basic but the bunk beds had very comfortable mattresses.

    There was no correspondence from the host which was a little disappointing. There was a nearly empty jar of water on the step of both caravans but no explanation to which caravan we should use or what the water was for. The outside.was a little unkempt.

    The views are amazing. The beds were really comfy and the bathroom worked well. The children loved walking on the country road and really enjoyed their stay. Their favourite hotel on the holiday in their words.We went to the highland museum in the morning which is brilliant and about a minute away in the car.

    - very very very cold at night, with a small radiator which tried it's best, bless it, but it was still too cold - there was bit of mold on the roof where the condensation would drip making the person on the top bunk very miserable - would be nice to have somewhere to refill water bottles, felt a bit strange going to the toilet tap for water

    Very very cheap accommodation on New Year's Eve. The bathroom is a small walk away. There was a kettle and a microwave, and some cutlery. Stunning views in the morning of the surrounding mountains.

    Shower head was not attached to wall but shower was fine if held. Shared facilities (with one other small family) are not for everyone but they were very clean.

    Excellent location and very clean. It's a hut so had limited facilities but experience more than made up for this.

    Lack of sink to rinse dishes etc in. We also didn't quite appreciate how few utensils (dishes etc) there would be. (but this was our fault for not checking!)

    The Hut was cosy and clean. Viv very friendly and helpful. We loved the animals too.
