Absolutely amazing little spot! Quiet and secluded, yet only a short walk away from Great Ayton. The hut itself is the cutest thing you could ever stay in - with all needs catered for. Proprietors are most friendly and welcoming.

I can't say enough good things about the shepherd's hut! It's beautiful and clean with everything you could need. It's warm and cosy and comfortable. Caroline was so helpful and welcoming. It's the perfect location, walking distance to cafes and pubs, lovely walks nearby, and easy access to the coast and other places to go. This won't be my only visit!

What a great little getaway! Caroline has kitted this hut out perfectly, it has everything you need to cook, bbq and relax by a fire. Extras include seeing beautiful horses and hearing the beck trickle by. We really enjoyed our stay as did our 1 year old who's travel cot fit perfectly in the cosy hut. Thank you and see you again!

We had a wonderful stay in the North Yorkshire Shepherds Hut in Great Ayton. Very tranquil and peaceful! It had everything you needed and Caroline was a lovely host. Great food at the Royal Oak down the road too and breakfast 5 min down the road at Fletchers Farm. We hope to visit again!

This is from a text recently received..the author couldn't add the review on and asked me to add the following: "This is a gem of a place, a beautiful oasis hidden away. Caroline and Andrew have thought of everything when kitting the hut out, lots of lovely personal touches and they are the perfect hosts with loads of knowledge about the local area. Would definitely recommend the hut, perfect accommodation even through a lightening storm! Jill & Lesley" Thank you Jill and Lesley

This is a real gem of a place to stay! The Hut is in a great location; really private spot overlooking fields & a small brook which encourages all sorts of wonderful bird life to enjoy with the morning sunrise. It’s just a 10 minute walk to Great Ayton with a couple of pubs and a Co-op (open until 10) and on the doorstep of some brilliant walks (we completed the 4 Tops Challenge in aid of the local Mountain Rescue whilst there). The Hut itself is perfect; compact and quaint with all the amenities you need. Super comfy bed, small wood burning stove, powerful shower. Lots of small homely touches and a quality finish make for a very relaxing stay. We loved the fire pit and toasting marshmallows too! Caroline was a superb host; very responsive prior to arrival, warm and welcoming whilst showing us the ropes, and available if needed but left us to enjoy the space. Thank you!

It was a beautiful peaceful paddock with a stream running through it. Walking distance to town and close to the moors, the Yorkshire Dales and the coast. The van is well appointed and Caroline and Andrew are very friendly and helpful.

Had a fabulous stay, to say it was clean is an understatement, it was immaculate. Private and very scenic, Caroline was the perfect host and we couldn’t fault anything. Will be certainly booking it again in the near future. If we could give 6 stars we would.
