Enjoyed my first stay at the Sheperd's Hut so much that I recently returned for a long weekend and most certainly will be going back before long! Cannot recommend enough for anyone wishing to fully switch off for a while!

Terrific views of Kenilworth Castle. Just walk straight ahead away from castle carpark south down the lane. . .

Spent a lovely relaxing weekend in The Shepherd's Hut. Quiet surroundings and acted as a good base for exploring the local area.
