Stunning Shepherds Hut rural bliss Dumfries

The Shepherds Hut was set in a tranquil location with great views all around.! It was so peaceful, chilling in the hot tub at night and just what we needed.! Jacqui and Dave were fantastic and couldn’t do any more for our stay.!! 5star treatment, we will be back.! xx

Nothing, it was fabulous.!!

Lovely little place Very friendly owner and staff Excellent location, staff and service

Nothing to fault

The location, the huge garden for my son to play in and just the general feel of the place

Nothing

Spectacular location and a truly lovely place to stay. Jacquie was incredibly welcoming and helpful. Will certainly be back!

We had a great time in the beautiful setting, had everything we needed and Jacquie and Dave were really lovely hosts. Very pet friendly which is always a big bonus for us! Would definitely come back!

There's nothing we didn't like - it's only a small place but that's to be expected! Only thing we would've liked is a note on the advert or upon booking that the hot tub would be an extra fee to make sure we were more prepared.

The location, the kindness and hospitality of the hosts, the privacy and the size of the land at our disposal

Nothing

We had a wonderful 2 night break for my birthday. Jacquie was kind enough to leave me a birthday gift in the hut on our arrival, which was a lovely surprise. She was very attentive and such a fantastic host. The hut had everything we needed, and the views were stunning. We were lucky with the weather, so we thoroughly enjoyed sitting in the sun in the seating area all day and had a bbq both nights. The hot tub was fab too! It's a peaceful and relaxing place, I would have been happy to stay there forever, lol 😂.

Nothing.

We had a long drive and Jacquie and David welcomed us with open arms! Jacquie also helped us ordering some food and was very pro active and super friendly! We also used the hot tub, which was great. We liked it here very much (despite the rain haha)

Lovely tiny house with an amazing great private garden for our dog. The host was lovely and very welcome.

Peaceful and private little cabin, perfect for two. Lovely views and a comfy bed. The hosts are so helpful and really went the extra mile.

Jacquie was fantastic from start to finish, so welcoming and was highly attentive. The hut was absolutely gorgeous with the most peaceful views. Hot tub was great, roasting and so peaceful we really enjoyed our stay here and will definitely return in the future.

Lovely place, great views. Had a fab time.

Very good scenery amazing host very friendly cosy asf

Loved the shepherds hut, was lovely and the view was great. Jacquie was a great host and super helpful Would highly recommend 😀

Lovely surroundings and accommodation!

It had everything you needed it was spotless views were amazing

Lovely setting, beautiful views, clean and plenty of facilities. Nice and secure if you bring a dog. Lovely shower Welcoming hosts

Nothing we didn’t like but, It rained on our stay, it would benefit from a covered area from the hut roof to the undercover seating area to keep dry if you wanted to sit out.

We had a wonderful short stay. hosts were friendly and attentive to our needs. the location was peaceful with wonderful views.

We had a fantastic stay in the Shepherd’s Hut at the weekend. The location was lovely and secluded, the hut itself, although small, was exactly what we were looking for. The weather wasn’t great but sitting in the hot tub was nice as it’s covered off from the wind and rain. Although the weather was bad, the hut was warm and cosy. Jacquie was lovely and welcoming, very helpful and attentive. I’d definitely visit again, thanks for everything.

The hosts are amazing and breakfast was awesome, defo be back.

Nothing.

Jacqui is a very attentive host and nothing is too much trouble, you can tell she enjoys having people experience their spot in Dumfries. The hut, as others have said, is small but it's cozy and gets nice and warm in the winter. We would have liked more of a kitchen to be more self sufficient but the Cavan Arms in the town is a great place for traditional pub grubb and taxis are £8-10 each way. Loads of great walks are only a stones throw away and a short drive down to the coast is always an option. We walked up Criffell in 2hrs (steep enough to get a sweat on) and had an epic 360⁰ view across the Solway firth to the Lake District then stopped at Sweetheart Abby for lunch on the way back. You won't be disappointed 👍

Had a last minute night away with my son (7) and cockapoo. Really enjoyed our night away, the shepherds hut was lovely, really cosy and clean. Both Jacquie and Dave are very welcoming and gave some lovely dinner recommendations. They have completely secure garden so my dog had free reign to run around. The hut itself was decorated nicely and was very clean and warm. The hot tub can be set up with prior request and looks out to beautiful views across the fields. We were very lucky and seen lots of fireworks from the hot tub. My son was ecstatic! We didn't take up the offer for breakfast however the option is there for a small fee. The hut is quite close to the main house however it's been set up to feel quite private. Really quiet and peaceful which was great for my slightly noise reactive dog - he barley made a noise the entire time.

Nothing bad to say - we really enjoyed our time away!

Beautiful view and lovely host. Good outdoor decking, had weather been better would have utilised it.

Needed a topper on the bed, a bit hard for us. Plastic glasses.

Jacquie was really helpful, contacted us to help with anything we needed, and gave us a personal welcome and tour of the cabin. The cabin is small, but super cosy, has everything you need for a stay. Views are amazing, there's decking to sit out on. 10 minute drive into Dumfries. Good recommendations for things to do, where to eat, etc. Really easy and straightforward from start to finish.

Jacquie was an incredibly welcoming and attentive host. The hut itself, even though small, was very cozy and had everything we needed. the highlight of our stay was, without a doubt, the hot tub and the stunning views.

Really lovely hosts. We loved the hot tub!

Very peaceful and beautiful

Absolutely amazing little place ❤️ Very relaxing and very clean. We will definitely come back here again hopefully the weather is nicer next time, but the views were stunning even in the rain and wind

Would 100% recommend staying at this shepherds hut! Really lovely, friendly hosts and they made us feel right at home. Perfect for a quiet, relaxing break :)

the property was clean and tidy with an amazing view. the host was lovely and very accommodating, we felt so welcomed on arrival. the hot tub was especially good and the area was stunning.

Had the best time everything was just perfect The hosts were very helpful and lovely The hot tub was 👌🏻 Will defo be back

The pictures just don’t describe the feeling of peace when you’re left with everything you need after being greeted with a warm smile. It’s literally nourishment for the soul. Attention to detail here for a luxurious experience combined with a real off the grid feel. Cannot rate the host or the little lodge highly enough ❤️

Warm welcome, beautiful location, lovely accommodation. Fabulous breakfast delivered to our decking. Dog welcome too with room to run around and nice walks in the morning.

Nothing really.

Breakfast was delicious !

We liked the hut, which was beautifully set out, and also the scenery we could view. The owners were delightful and made us feel very welcomed and comfortable. Such a lovely place to spend a nice couple of days away.

Nothing

Perfect

every detail had been thought of hot tub was excellent

Cannot fault

Host was wonderful, very helpful and friendly. location is beautiful with amazing views. Bed was extremely comfy and the cabin was warm and cosy We made use of the bbq that was there and enjoyed the views Can highly recommend for anyone wanting a peaceful getaway

My German Shepherd absolutely LOVED it here so much that he spent the entire night in the lovely massive shared garden living his best life. The owners are absolutely brilliant. They both put my anxiety to ease with having a bigger (reactive) dog - who didn't bark the entire time he was there due to the tranquillity of the place! Enjoyed a BBQ on the night & the hosts bought out additional cutlery to help us out along with a candle. There was a bowl of water on arrival for the dog, which was thoughtful after a long drive. The views were as welcoming as the hosts & can't wait to return. Luckily the dog left with us.. 😅

We found the bedding a little warm, & if the weather isn't great, I'd recommend maybe taking a tablet or laptop to maybe watch a film. 🙃

Jacquie and Davy were so welcoming and helpful! Fantastic spot for a relaxed night away and great for a walk with the dog! The garden was huge and very secure again great for the dog to run around! Everything was spotless and the hot tub was an added bonus! Definitely recommend and will be back!

Perfect. Jacqui was an excellent host, even helping me to find the accommodation. Beautiful surroundings. Would certainly stay there again.

Had a wonderful stay in the Shepherd’s Hut as a late anniversary trip. Jacquie and her husband have a lovely slice of Scotland and it was a joy to visit. Very responsive and accommodating hosts; had a bit of difficulty finding the b&b due to an airbnb error, however were put right by David! No request or question too small or frivolous and will definitely be back!

Lovely location with beautiful nature, the starts are visible in the clear night skies to enjoy. In the morning you will wake up to birds singing and flying in the skies. We enjoyed the hot tub at night, in the cold winter the 40c hottub was the perfect way to end the night. Couldn’t recommend Jacquie more as a host, very welcoming and friendly. You will also meet the two lovely dogs they have on the premises!

Lovely stay for NYE and my partners birthday Jacquie was so pleasant and helpful and the place and hot tub was lovely

Loved the Sheprds hut , location, scenery, hot tub with spectacular views the garden for my dog to run/play with owners dog Dougal and Walking the country lanes .

I was more than happy with accommodation and hosts. Nothing to not like.x

Beautiful location and it was immaculate.

N/A

Honestly cant fault this stay location excellent hosts absolutely brilliant (especially dougal) we will 100%defo go back loved every minute

Peace and tranquility.

comfortable, clean, everything you needed was provided, owners lovely, friendly and very helpful, really welcoming. Amazing location, huge garden and stunning views.

Very friendly and welcoming- great place

I would thoroughly recommend staying at the Shepherds hut, with stunning views all round, especially from the hot tub! Jacquie and Dave were very kind and accommodating, allowing us to store our bikes in their garage. The Scottish breakfast was delicious and the perfect way to start the day, I look forward to returning to this fantastic Shepherds Hut.

Absolutely fabulous air bnb. Definitely the best place we have stayed. I booked it as a surprise for her birthday and Jacqueline's hosting went above and beyond. Superb host and and keeps an absolutely spotless place. We have been recommending this place to all our friends and can't speak highly enough of it. Thank you so much for having us.

the accommodation was amazing, the views were stunning! everything we wanted and more. Jacquie and Dave were absolutely fantastic. nothing was a trouble and they couldn’t have been more accommodating.

there wasn’t anything we didn’t like. cannot recommended this property enough

The rural location was beautiful and the hosts were lovely and helpful.

I didn’t dislike anything, the only small suggestions I have is a little TV on the wall would be good (where the mirror currently is at the foot of the bed) and appreciate the room is compact, but if you could make room a small plug in stove would be a wonderful addition (can be popped away when not in use) and a toaster :) but appreciate it’s a B&B feel so may not be what you’re going for. It wouldn’t stop me staying again it was such a lovely weekend. Just little things I felt would make it absolutely perfect.

Jackie, Dave and Dougal were terrific hosts.

A little bigger

I had a lovely stay - the hut is just wonderful and spacious too! It was chilly, so I kept warm in the hot tub and had a grand old time! Highly recommend for a relaxing break!

Breakfast was delicious with all good quality produce.

The weather!

The location was beautiful

Nothing could of been better it was perfect

Excellent hut with a really homely feel to it. The shower was great and fixtures and fittings had been well considered during its construction. The grounds are lovely and great for a well-behaved dog to explore. Dave & Jacquie were perfect hosts. We had a really memorable and enjoyable stay.

Het uitzicht en de vriendelijke gastvrouw en gastheer

De hut was niet super groot dus het was een beetje behelpen met de bagage

The idyllic, secluded location with stunning views. Access to huge garden. Hospitality of the owners.

Nothing

Jolie hutte de berger, un petit avant toit ne serait pas un luxe pour pouvoir mieux profiter de l'extérieur.

Jaquie was so warm and welcoming. Fantastic breakfast. 5 star 🌟 for dogs. Very helpful directions, follow them! Buy the eggs, they are fantastic.

Nothing

Absolutely beautiful wee shepherds hut just at the back of the b&b. Hosts were so so welcoming and really nothing was too much bother for them. Wee Douglas the westie was a great wee scrabble companion too. Such a peaceful place, would 100% recommend!

Fantastic location and very welcoming hosts. Had everything we needed and nothing we didn't. Our dog had just as good a time as we did!

Not much!

cosy little hut, brill views

nothing bad to say

unfortunately they failed to remind hosts of our booking. otherwise no issues. thanks

Lovely setting looking over the countryside, dog friendly and a super helpful host. We would go back again

The postcode didn't lead us to the property but Jacqueline sent us very accurate directions use those.

The hut is spotlessly clean and has everything you could imagine. Host was great to deal with during stay. Double check postcode before travelling and the fridge is a bit noisy which slightly ruined an almost perfect place to relax. Don't let this put you off though.

Comfortable, clean cabin. Nice shower and toilet room. Provided mini fridge and microwave as well as good access to take aways considering the rural location. Friendly hosts with good recommendations.

The hot tub access was poor compared to what was advertised. Advertisement did not make it clear that hot tub was to be booked so we only had a couple hours at night. Fresh towels would have been nice. The wifi was pretty much non-existent. Was very disappointed when at the very end of the visit we were asked to pay £50 more for hot tub access as this extra fee was not once stated on booking.com. The total price for 2 nights was £290 for very basic facilities and so we didn't think it was good value for money at all.

Stunning location, lovely owners, nothing too much trouble, dog welcome. Very cute, well equipped, clean and comfortable Shepherds Hut with lovely views.

Nothing!!

Amazing hosts and facilities were absolutely spot on. Breakfast top notch. Beautiful peaceful spot. Will be recommending to family and friends. And we will definitely be booking for another visit 😊 ☺. Xxx

Location was fantastic. View from hut was fabulous. Hosts Jacquie and Dave were exceptional and very friendly. The breakfast was superb and sets you up for an active day.

Nothing I didn't like.

The hosts were so welcoming could not do enough for us. The breakfast was amazing too

The midgies but that cant be helped

The hosts Jacqui and Dave and wee dougal were amazing went above and beyond what would be expected, made us feel at home and helped us so much the location was amazing and peaceful the accommodation and hot tub were excellent we will be back again

Nothing could have been any better everything was excellent

Jacqie and Dave are probably one of the kindest people I’ve met.Jacquie’s response time is quite fast, and her instructions are crystal clear.Their place was absolutely beautiful and I loved every moment of our stay. This is definitely somewhere you want to stay, and hate when you have to leave. Clean and beautiful, just as advertised! Would recommend to anyone who is visiting Dumpfries.Jacquie and Dave provided very detailed check-in and out processes which benefited the stay! Great value considering the overall unit, location, and free parking space! Would definitely visit again.

Nothing everything is perfect!

Amazing scenery and friendly hosts

Nothing to dislike

Ideal location with the most stunning views. Wonderful hosts who went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect

There is literally nothing we didn’t like

Don’t hesitate to book. From start to finish, the hosts were welcoming and lovely, genuine people. The little touches and attentiveness made the experience feel like a home away from home. The hut is situated in the perfect place, with views that just make you relax and reset.

We have really enjoyed our break away in the shepherds lodge, it offers wonderful views we managed to enjoy a sunset and sunrise during our stay. It offers Peaceful surroundings. Relaxing use of the hot tube. The hosts Jacquie Dave & Dougal 🐾 were so welcoming friendly and helpful, they have interesting & knowledgeable information of the local area. Thank you. We will certainly recommend this stunning place to people. We hope to return sometime in the future.

Would recommend anyone to stay here at the drop of a hat!

Jackie & Dave are fantastic people. I dropped my daughter and her boyfriend (both 18) for a 3 day stay in the shepherds hut. They were so welcoming, friendly and happy to have them staying for 3 days. Jackie and Dave went out there way to make sure that there stay was fantastic. The breakfast they offer was superb and fantastic value for money. The hot tub was also great. The house and hut is in such a pretty spot overlooking unspoiled views of the countryside. Will definitely be booking again not only because of the accommodation and location. You could not ask for anyone better to host your get away 6 stars in my opinion. Jackie, Dave & the westie Dougall really do make your stay worthwhile and are very knowledgeable about the local area. The accommodation in the shepherds hut is great and very comfortable, hands down great value for money. Can’t thank them enough.
