Shepherd Moon provided a peaceful and picturesque setting for my recent stay. The house itself was clean and well-maintained, with modern fittings and everything I needed for a self-contained stay. The views were amazing, and I felt immediately at ease upon opening the front door. The local shop nearby was conveniently stocked, and I appreciated the great supply of cleaning products and essential items like dishwasher tablets. The wood burner was a lovely touch and made the evenings cozy and warm. the owners were very helpful and quick to respond, providing excellent recommendations for local restaurants and shops. The unexpected visit from a friendly dog added a touch of charm to my experience. Despite a few minor inconveniences, such as a lack of a DVD player and pizza cutter, I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Shepherd Moon. I would highly recommend this lovely house to anyone seeking a peaceful and comfortable stay with fine surroundings.

Lovely quiet setting with a small deserted beach nearby. Very modern fittings with everything you need for a self-contained stay. the view on opening the front door is amazing.
Could do with a DVD player and pizza cutter. Some bowls and plates were on very high shelves and not accessible for us.

The value for money at Shepherd Moon was really good, and the room itself was clean, cozy, and had all the amenities we needed. The location was fine, with amazing views and a peaceful atmosphere. While we didn't meet the staff in person, their communication via email was prompt and helpful.
The menu for breakfast could have been more varied.

Amazing view upon entering, well-stocked local shop, convenient beach for paddleboarding, clean and comfortable beds. Few nearby shops and closed hotels, so shop in advance. Be cautious of low door frame in lounge, but cozy with wood burner. Breathtaking views like no other place.

The location of this accommodation is absolutely stunning, offering breathtaking views right from the moment you step through the front door. the nearby beach is perfect for paddleboarding and enjoying some water activities. the house itself is clean and comfortable, with very comfortable beds and a spacious bathroom. the log burner adds a cozy touch to the evenings. the supply of dishwasher tablets, washing machine tablets, and cleaning products is a great perk, making the stay even more convenient.
The limited availability of nearby local stores requires some advance planning for supplies.

We recently stayed at Shepherd Moon for a few days and had an amazing time. The supplies provided were top-notch - dishwasher tablets, washing machine tablets, and cleaning products were all included. We loved the cozy wood burner and the well-stocked woodpile. And the views.oh, they were absolutely breathtaking! We've never stayed anywhere so picturesque. The quiet setting and nearby deserted beach made for a peaceful and relaxing stay. The modern fittings in the house had everything we needed for a self-contained stay. The local shop was brilliantly stocked and the beds were incredibly comfortable. a gorgeous house with great amenities and a quick response from the owners.
We do recommend this hotel.

Free WiFi, great parking, and amazing garden views. The nearest airport is conveniently far away.
Who needs a DVD player and a pizza cutter anyway?

The holiday home at Shepherd Moon had an incredible view of the sea, making it feel like I was waking up on the edge of the world. It was like a front-row seat to nature's own IMAX cinema. The garden was lovely, providing a serene space to relax and soak in the stunning surroundings.
Poor signage for the holiday home.
