    The Barfield Shepherds Hut has absolutely no faults, it’s in a quiet area. Had everything we needed utensil and utility wise. Everything was so clean and fresh. Hot tub was phenomenal, was lit earlier on in the day and stayed warm all evening....

    I've stayed in a lot of places but this is genuinely my favorite. It's very hard to describe just how idyllic this place is, you just have to experience it. For under £200per night, it's one of the best places you can stay in NI.
