Other things to note
Please note for accessibility that there are 3 steps into the hut, although the stone path and car park are all level. Although we are not wheelchair accessible, we do like to help all we can, whether that is answering questions to help you decide if we are a good fit or anything else that may help, where we can we could like to be as inclusive as we can be for both guests and their dogs.

Due to the location of the Shepherds Hut in the countryside, on a smallholding, there may be livestock in field next door (during September to April), and tractors and machinery working in the yard or in the fields next door at times. It is also on the edge of the Wye which is home to wildlife such as ducks, swans, geese etc. which can be noisy at times.

The Shepherds Hut is fenced in on all sides (mix of 4ft livestock fencing and post and rail) for dogs, but small dogs may get under the gates or through post and rail and larger dogs may jump livestock fence or railings if not watched. You are responsible for your dogs at all times whilst on the property. I hope this helps you make the right decision for you and your dog.
