Reviewed 18 Jul 2022

A weekend break spent at "Abberton shepherd's hut retreat" , proved to be everything the website claimed to be and more. I was in love with everything from the farm location in Pershore, the natural environment, to the simplicity and well thought out design of the hut. The aesthetics were Countryside elegance and simplicity. I doubt that there was anything that the host had not considered, from practicality to ensuring total relaxation for their guests. The selection of books and magazines was excellent. I never ened up reading the book I took with me. It proved a wonderful place to sit, relax, read and enjoy nature, unfortunately the weather proved too hot to explore the farm walks. I was absolutely delighted to hear a tawny owl, pressumably in the fruit orchard in front of the hut and to see a weasel and a Little owl while sitting outside during the evening. The optional breakfast package was a real treat. From the selection of cerals to the homemade apple juice, free range eggs , bottle of milk, fresh artisan bread and award winning breakfast sausages. The host even provided teas, coffee and condiments. Probably the best breakfast ever eaten. In hind sight the quality was so good we wish we had bought a meat hamper for the BBQ and a pizza kit. I highly recommend this special place for anyone considering staying in a shepherd's hut. This is an ideal retreat for both couples and families. And what an ideal gift for family. I will definately be booking this special place again.
