Wow! What an amazing place! Such a breathtaking location with the most wonderful views. I stayed with my little boy and he described his stay as awesome! We paddled in the Loch and cooked sausages on the fire pit by the water, saw some baby wagtails feeding and in the morning a Hare and a Red Kite came to visit. The hut is cosy with everything that you could need. It was truly wonderful to sit outside and watch the sunset. The bed is so comfortable and we really didn’t want to leave. We can’t wait to visit again. An absolutely 5 star experience. Debbie was delightful and I must say thank you for the delicious millionaire shortbreads.

Wonderful location for getting away from it all. We felt very welcome with a yummy Millionaire's Shortbread snack, and lots of tea/milk/bottled water provided. With a fridge, sink, stove, and cooking stuff, it's easy to cook your own meals here. The bed is comfy, and a lot of care has been put into this tiny house. We enjoyed walking through the sheep fields to Loch Ken, and making a small camp fire with the provided newspaper/wood. One of the highlights of our trip to Scotland.

Absolutely phenomenal stay. The location alone will blow your socks off. We had sheep grazing all around us and could also watch red kites, hares, oyster catchers and highland cows from our window. The shepherds hut is immaculate. Perfect in every way. We were left some sweet treats by the host and there are even some games to play for when it is raining. Me and my boyfriend absolutely loved it and within half an hour of being there said we wanted to come back. Debby is also a very lovely and attentive host, who responds quickly to messages if you have any issues. So. if you are thinking of booking this place go for it, it’s really special and amazing. A nice escape away from everything. PHENOMENAL!

What a beautiful unique space. Beautiful views from the hut. 2 short fields away from loch ken were we launched our little boats. The little details in the hut made it so special and unique. Super cosy and the log burner warms that hut up soo fast! We will most definitely be back here for our next stay. Great place

A really gorgeous little spot for anyone looking for a secluded Scottish get away. Loch Ken is only a 5/10 minute walk through a couple of fields and there’s plenty to do in both Dumfries and Castle Douglas. Debbie’s little hut has everything you need, even down to a few candles to light on an evening which was a lovely touch and made the hut even more cosy. Would definitely recommend.

Wonderful stay. Communication with Debbie was great up to and arriving. Really is a unique space, quiet and secluded. Everything you need is in the hut and the space has been really well thought out. Perfect for a couple of days relaxing and taking in the scenery.

We had a lovely two night stop over to break up our drive from London to Glasgow. The warm and cosy shepherd’s hut is in a field separate from the host’s home so you really feel you have your own space. With lambs on our doorstep and a beautiful view of Loch Ken we got the perfect escape we needed.
