    The only niggle and it’s small was the steps too and from the hut were too narrow but certainly didn’t take away from the place

    A beautiful little shepherds hut facing breathtaking countryside views nothing for miles Bigger than looks in the pics and very comfortable and warm (we were there on a wet September day and we were so cosy) Absolutely recommend Would definitely come again and would stay longer

    There were quite a lot of files around but that could come with the location being on a working farm.

    It was such a lovely place. Bed was so comfortable and the views were amazing! Loved watching the sheep and horses in the adjacent field. Plenty of space in the hut.

    The weather was too hot and we couldn't sit outside or inside far too many flies around the shepherds hut.

    The views from the Shepherds Hut were amazing. Having never stayed in a property like this I was amazed at the size. It had everything you would need and the hosts left us milk bread butter and homemade chocolate cake. I would highly recommend a visit it’s just stunning.

    A silly personal tiny thing and only because I’ve got to write something - full Milk is a bit rich for me. Sorry.

    The view was immense. The bed was beautifully soft. Everywhere was spotless. Not overlooked, just you and the scenery. Plenty of information. Possibility of buying from The shop for meat for Christmas

    We loved jt all.

    It was very well equipped for a short stay. The view was wonderful and the host had thought of everything, even chicken feed for afternoon visitors to the garden. The position of the hut was fabulous, offering privacy with a wonderful view. The bed linen was some of the softest I have ever slept in. We had a wonderful stay in this small but perfectly formed shepherds hut.

    We absolutely loved this Shepherds Hut, the views were stunning, the place was spotless, the bed was so comfortable, the host Tess couldn’t do enough for you even leaving a chocolate brownie for when we arrived! You don’t need to take anything with you as it is all here. Tess even showed us the new born lambs which was very special! We will definitely return to Drift View!

    We loved the tranquillity, the wonderful views, the location of the hut, with its own hen house. Sited on a farm, it was lovely hearing the animals. We were supplied with complimentary essentials,such as milk, butter,bread, and fresh eggs and homemade cake. We were able to relax and come and go as we pleased. The bed was very comfy. The Shepherds hut was very clean with all mod cons. It was a very short car journey to Melton Mowbray, and we enjoyed the Tues market and a good day out at Gates Garden Centre, which wasn't too far away.

    The entire experience from start to finish was first class. The small personal touches, like the freshly baked cookies, extra blankets for our dog etc made such a difference. The views are amazing and the location is so peaceful. The shepherds hut itself is equipped with everything you could possibly need for your stay and it's modern yet cosy! Drift veiw is a little slice of heaven. Absolutely recommend.
