“Great Stay at the Shepherds Rest”
The location was beautiful and the facility was lovely. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the staff were amazing really friendly and. Luke not have helped us enough. They did not do food at this time of year (september) but the staff were happy for us to order in and eat it in the pub and helped us arrange to order food in. It was a great stay and I would have stayed longer if I could.
