Tap O' Noth Shepherd's Hut

A lovely quiet retreat and nice to get back to simplicity. Hut has a microwave fridge, kettle and toaster and although out toaster broke causing the electrics to go off one morning, The host was straight on to it and when we had returned from a day out, its was all up and running and we had a new toaster too. Lovely being surrounded by nature and spectacular views up to the tap o noth and with a handy location only a two minute drive away from Rhynie village. The local touring fish and chip van ( that we were supplied a flyer for in our hut) was even in the village one night too. Thanks for making us feel welcome on your beautiful farm.

Pricey for what it is and honestly for the price it was not worth it. The host is rude, abrasive and intrusive. Very negative host who complained about other guests and life at every chance. Had choosen the place for self catering and privacy, but did not get the privacy we had expected. We left a day early due to the host and found a four star hotel for only 5 quid more, so save yourself the hassle. The Toilet was small so if you are tall you will not fit in the stall. Shower block and toilet block is more like comunial camp shower and for price was underwhelming. Bed was horrible worst bed I've ever slept on. -for price the value was not there -would have dealt with it all if not for the intrusion on our vacation by the host. Grown people should not have to explain curtains being closed to change...Just becuase the host had bad guests in the past does not mean all future guests will act the same. being treated as if you are doing something wrong simply becuase you are having a restful day and to get questioned as if you are doing something wrong is unexceptable.

Very rude and aggressive owner We felt like it's a jail Location is good but you are not allowed to step out of the room unless to the so called toilet or to your car

Great warm welcome awaits full of ideas and tips on where to go and what to do. Fantastic scenery to enjoy when we had breakfast on the patio and admired the pigs. Everything we needed for a couple of nights stay in this relaxing, peaceful setting. Even had a tour of the farm animals. Loos and shower close by, just remember cold is hot and hot is cold! Strongly recommend.
