South Downs Hot Tub Retreat Reviews

Amy - Aug 2023

Wow what an amazing place! We will definitely be back. The only downside was we wish we had stayed longer as we only got one full day there. Very private with stunning views. Shower was better than our own at home and bed was super comfy. Our dog Malcolm loved his stay there too! Went to a lovely local pub that actually did take away which was nice so we could enjoy the views back at the shepherds hut. Fantastic walks nearby. Hot tub was amazing. Only noises we heard were wildlife! Bliss

Adam - Aug 2023

A beautiful setting, amazing area for dog walks. The cabin had everything we needed for a weekend break. The log fired hot tub was lovely too. We would definitely recommend this property.

Jessica - Aug 2023

Fantastic stay and beautiful location. Myself and my partner stayed for 3 nights with two dogs (medium and small) and it was comfortable. Facilities were suitable for short stay but kitchenette area was quite small and only really suitable for simple meals. Would question how private the hot tub is as the shepherds hut is right on the edge of the p ath where guests etc walk by which doesnt make it feel so private. Local town 10 mins drive away with lots of shops. Overall great stay! Thank you!

CORINNE - Jul 2023

Beautifully furnished and amazing location, cannot recommend enough! We will be back next year :)

Paul - May 2023

Great location very secluded sunny all day only downside was the peacocks were quite noisy in the morning and evening but very relaxing

Julia - May 2023

This is possibly the most relaxing place I have ever been to. The shepperds hut is compact ,but every thing you need. While soaking in the hot tub, you look out directly onto the vine fields , hills and country side beyond. It is very private and secluded. Excellent shower and plenty of large towels provided. If you are looking to recharge your bat teries, this is definitely the place for you. WELL WORTH EVERY PENNY. THANKYOU X

Will - May 2023

Our stay in the Shepherds Hut was fantastic. Location and views were stunning with friendly owners, the drive into the local towns was quick and easy. The cottage was cozy and comfortable, cresting a relaxing environment for a great week away.

Lewis - Apr 2023

We came to stay at the Hot Tub Retreat for a mini honeymoon, we couldnt fault it. Lovely and cosy and tucked away from everyone so we were able to stay in our little wedding bubble!

Jennifer - Apr 2023

A really relaxing stay, the hot tub was amazing. Everything was very clean and comfortable, the views were lovely too

Kevin - Oct 2022

Myself, my partner and our two elderly dogs had a wonderful relaxing break in the Hot Tub Retreat. We went in october when work within the vineyard is presumably more quite than the summer season but, that said, it is a working farm/vineyard so you can't expect complete isolation. The accommodation is exactly as descibed with no shocks or suprises and we would go back again without hesitation if only to watch the Buzzards and Kites flying overhead!

Samantha - Sep 2022

Had a lovely week in a very cosy Shepard's hut on a beautiful peace of land. Very peaceful. Emily and Andrew the owners were lovely as we're there 2 little sausage dogs. The accomodation was small but very cosy and had everything we needed.

Sarah - Aug 2022

We loved our stay at the Shepards Hut. If was the perfect little break away for us and our dog loved it. Extremely relaxing, with great local pubs and a stunning location! We will definitely be returning!

Sanne - Aug 2022

It is a absolutely lovely simple cottage, containing all the basics you need, plus a hot tub. The environment is absolutely beautiful, peaceful, quiet and calming. We loved our walks there, the stars at night and the owls hooting in the night. The owners are very kind people and the sheep neighbors are delightful. We really miss our neighbor sheep Denzel. We loved everything about the holiday accept for the IKEA toilet but I've had worse. I would definitely recommend the cottage!

Jesse - Jul 2022

Had a fantastic 4 nights stay. Plenty of public footpaths to explore. Very relaxing especially with the log burnn hot tub. Great views of the vineyard and surrounding areas. Made to feel very welcome by Emily .

L - Jul 2022

We had a fantastic midweek stay here with our little dog. The hut was clean, cosy & fitted out to a high standard. We loved its seclusion. Emily gave us 2 peacocks eggs from the resident peacocks which were delicious. The hot tub was lovely & if you heated it whilst you were out for the day it would be a perfect temperature for when you got back. I t was lovely to sit outside & watch the sunset of an evening.

Sally - Jun 2022

Beautiful decorated, everything you need and more in this stunning location, hot tub and shower amazing, views outstanding with birds and butterflies, red kites and yellow hammers, absolutely beautiful. Great walk to Selborne with easy access to local pubs and all dog friendly. Amazing time and couldnt have asked for more. Looking forward to trying the wine when it is produced!
