We stayed in the Shepherd's Hut for three nights and what an experience that was. The location is amazing on the banks of river and just sitting there watching the water and ducks go by is a mindful experience away from all the hum and buzz of life. Staying in the hut brings you right back in touch with nature. The gardens too are beautiful and the hens roam free.
However it was the warmth of the welcome and the hospitality and the quality of the food that made our stay unique. The breakfasts are top notch and can only be described as a "fine dining" experience. The use of fresh local produce, their own free range eggs and John's homemade breads are what make them so unique. This guest house and Shepherds Hut is a little gem set in Newport and one I would highly recommend.
