An amazing, peaceful stay!
5/5

We loved staying at Noris nest, it had everything we needed and we enjoyed the hot tub every morning and evening. It was in the perfect location so it was easy to get everywhere. The area was so peaceful & we loved spotting the wildlife in the field! Check in and check out was so easy, thank you so much for the perfect stay

Lily, 31 Jul 2026

It's such a pleasure Lily and thank you so much for your wonderful review. It sounds like you had a really lovely time at the hut and we hope you'll come to stay again.

A nice spot but not very comfortable
3.3/5

The location of this property was nice, we loved the hot tub and the open space around the hut. The Star pub down the road was great and the Spar supermarket was handy. Unfortunately there were several things that detracted from this stay. The bed was extremely uncomfortable, you could feel every spring through the mattress- we even tried flipping the mattress to see if this helped (it didn't help, and revealed a stain). In the end I slept on top of a couple of thick fleece jumpers so I couldn't feel the springs as much but this is not what I would expect from accommodation at this price. The mattress should be replaced, or at the very least, a mattress topper should be put on top. The bed was also fairly short so my partner who is taller couldn't stretch his legs out fully. The shower pressure was pretty low and the fridge kept freezing our milk overnight even though the fridge thermometer was at the warmest setting. The cooking facilities were fine but the glasses and mugs were all rather mismatched which isn't a big deal but again not what I would have expected from accommodation at this price point. There were containers for tea and coffee but the coffee one only had about one teaspoon left in it. We have stayed in several other shepherd huts around the UK and this one was among the most expensive and definitely the worst one in terms of facilities and comfort, however the hot tub was a redeeming feature. Overall I would not recommend this property, although I think it has good potential if the owners can fix the above issues.

Fantastic stay
4.7/5

Had a lovely time! My partner and I dont drive so had a little issue trying to get there but thats our own fault! Was a beautiful place I would recommend having shelter over the hot tub so its still able to be used in some wether conditions as we were only able to once due to the rain but other than that it was fabulous and will definitely be coming again

Beautiful place
5/5

Amazing time away, very clean and cozy. The location was idealsecluded enough to feel like a true getaway, yet close enough to explore the beautiful beaches, charming villages, and scenic coastal walks. If you're looking for a peaceful, cozy getaway, this spot is an absolute gem. I can't wait to return!

A mixed bag
4/5

The location is superb, a short drive away from some very picturesque spots and beaches. The cabin is extremely private and in a gorgeous location, has pretty much everything you'd need. Wild rabbits running around enhances this experience immensely. However, the major downside is the bed. It's VERY small. I'm only 5'5, my partner is 5' and we're pretty slim, we found the bed to be an issue for us. The length isn't great and the width can't be much more than 4ft. If you're any taller than 5'10 then I promise youll struggle to be comfortable. You're definitely paying for the location, I wouldn't recommend any more than a couple of nights here. Price is a bit high but that's to be expected for a UK getaway. Overall 3.5/5

Tom, 14 Jul 2024

We are disappointed to hear you found the bed to be an issue as this is not something that has been raised before, however we do appreciate that beds are a very personal thing.

5/5

Myself and my partner really enjoyed our time away in Cornwall and we loved our accommodation. The shepards hut is small but mighty and has everything you would need (including things like a hair dryer, BBQ equipment and games!) and more. We especially liked the hot tub, which took some time to warm up, but after a day it was good to go. For us, the location was ideal. It was remote and peaceful, but we could easily drive to all tourist areas (most being less than 30 mins away). We spent our evenings sitting outside, cooking on the BBQ and watching the bunnies that we shared the field with. Overall, I really recommend this accommodation and I will definitely consider staying here again when I come back to Cornwall!

Fantastic Holiday
5/5

We had an amazing time away at the shepards hut for our honeymoon, really enjoyed the peace and the land surrounding us. Also great information pack to help you find surrounding areas for food, and activities to do whilst away. We visited marazion beach (St Michael's mount) alot which was also a nice and peaceful beach and area to relax. Penzance wasn't far which was great to go food shopping or for a general walk around.

EXCELLENT!!
5/5

We came to stay for our Mini Honeymoon and it was absolutely perfect! Location is amazing, so quiet and peaceful and still not too far from Penzance, St.Ives and Hayle. We'll definitely be back in the future!! The only thing I'd say that the stunning little hut needs is a microwave or small oven.

Nice location but not luxury
3.5/5

The shepherds hut was in an ideal location for exploring Cornwall although we were disappointed with the shepherds hut itself. It was missing a few key things such as a blind in the shower room so we had to hang a towel ourselves to protect our dignity. The blind by the bed also had a hole in it? We had to buy a fan as it was too hot at night and one was not provided, it didnt feel safe enough to leave a window open. A few little extra touches would make it a luxury stay (e.g. New blinds, another mirror rather than just one in the shower room, bath mat, Tea towels, fan, small toiletries, a small bottle of milk to go with the tea bags provided, shelter for the hot tub etc)

Hollie, 28 Jul 2023

Hi Hollie, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are pleased to hear the property was in an ideal Location for you to explore Cornwall.

Fabulous!
4.3/5

We had the best time at this quaint little shepherd's hut in a field! We went for the hot tub, privacy, location and uniqueness of it and it didn't disappoint. It was a beautiful experience of being around nature but having all of the comforts of home. Host was friendly and welcoming. A few minor things that in no way distracted from the amazing time we had but would have just pushed it to perfect. Bath towels stained, fridge door missing a side self which meant the milk spilt because there was no where for it to be upright, the bbq was too dirty to use, bed pillows were not comfortable (personal preference), could do with a little tidy up and paint, bits of wood chipped inside and outside the property, car in driveway upon arrival so we didn't have access immediately, door is tricky to manoeuvre but once you've figured it out it's fine, nice touch with the drinks but tea and coffee and biscuits would have been nicer if they were Cornish.

Leanne, 05 Jul 2023

Hello Leanne, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are so pleased you had the best time and a beautiful experience.

Noris nest
4.3/5

The hut itself looked a bit tired from the outside, but as soon as we opened the door it was warm, very clean and incredibly cosy. The bathroom facilities were excellent to my surprise. The jacuzzi was perfect! The grassy area was a bit overgrown, and various pipes sticking up out of the ground. A hammock or sun loungers would have been appreciated, especially at the price we paid, but I would rate our stay 8/10.

A good location with a good view
4.8/5

I cannot fault the place it was great. Kept up to date with what's going on Only improvement I can give is if there was a microwave or oven it was quite hard cooking with just a hob
