It was a brilliant stay- exactly what I was craving to have. The location is brilliant (Chepstow only 15 mins away for dinner etc if wanted) and lovely walks nearby. It was a lovely hut to the highest standard, very clean and everything you needed was there. Can’t wait to come back.

Me and my partner had a lovely weekend break at Bertha. Such an amazing location, surrounded by the countryside. The stars are incredible here, which we gazed at while roasting marshmallows by the fire pit. They provided great recommendations if you are unfamiliar with the area, from great walks in puzzle wood to a delicious meal in the Saracens Head Inn. I would highly recommend staying here and would love to return. The cabin is perfect, with everything you need and a lovely comfy bed. A great escape to the countryside!

Absolutely amazing shepherds hut. We loved our stay in Bertha. There is nothing negative to say. We had the most amazing chilled week, so peaceful, with just the wildlife keeping us company.
The set up of the hut itself is great and our dog loved chilling on the veranda watching the world go by (well the wildlife) or chilling inside with the door open, but all safe and sound with the gate on the veranda.
Loved it so much we will definitely be staying in Bertha again soon.

Fantastic quiet relaxing week has been had. Shepherds hut was clean, tidy and had everything required for a comfortable week in the Forest of Dean. The location is excellent and allowed easy access to the Forest of Dean and Gloucestershire.

We had a perfect stay in Bertha. The accomodation was well equipped with a kitchen stacked with utensils, board games onboard and a good shower too. We enjoyed some great meals on the veranda and even saw a barn owl catch their dinner.
Lovely walk through the woods to Bream.




Peace and quiet at its best.

We absolutely loved our stay at Bertha Shepherds Hut. This was our second stay in the last 5 months and I'm sure we will visit again soon. It's the best place to be if you want peace and quiet and the views are incredible. The Hut had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. The outside space was generous so seemed super private and was great for our dog. I don't think he's ever been so calm. The owners were really kind in allowing us to rebook at short notice due to a broken leg. Can't wait to go back.



Amazing weekend getaway!

We stayed at Bertha Shepherd’s Hut for the weekend, and everything about it was amazing. The actual hut was even better than the pictures (which already looked super cute and cosy). There was everything you needed to cook, even bakeware. The bathroom was so nicely built and modern. Even just the torchlight they had was appreciated as we did explore the forest when it was dark. The view and the greenery from the hut was really pretty, and there was a lake at the bottom of the hill when you walk into the forest. I loved it and would definitely recommend to anyone who wants a nice stay away in a peaceful, green and fresh environment! Totally worth the money.

A large, beautiful and well furnished shepherd's hut that provided the perfect getaway for my wife and I between Christmas and New Years. Gorgeous scenery and a delightful, cozy interior meant that even in the rough weather it was a pleasure to stay in. The owners went out of their way to make our experience a comfortable one.

My partner and I stayed here for the weekend and couldn’t fault our stay. We’ve stayed in many shepherds hut before and this was by far the biggest and best one we’ve stayed in! The location was also beautiful and in good walking distance to the local village. A wonderful weekend!

What a spot. The wagon is on top of a hill next to the woods which not only gives you a gorgeous view of the property but allows for numerous animals sightings whilst enjoying the comfort of the accommodation.

Bertha is a beautifully presented shepherds hut and is the perfect place for a rural escape. The location is unbelievable peaceful and the sunrise and sunsets are the perfect start and end to the day! The comfort and stand of the hut was first class with the welcome biscuits, tea, coffee, milk, etc the perfect finishing touch! The local pubs are also lovely for a drink and bite to eat I would definitely recommend The Globe! We will be visiting again!!

The shepherds hut is in a beautiful location tucked away on the edge of the woods. It was spacious and very clean, like it was brand new. The bathroom is lovely and bed very comfy. The firepit outside is a nice touch and there's great walks in a nearby woods in walking distance, also not a long drive to the Forest of Dean. A lovely few days retreat, would recommend to everyone and will definitely be back!
