We stayed at the Sheep Shack for three nights in mid November and had an amazing time. When we arrived the heating (including underfloor heating) was on and the house was very clean, tidy and cosy. We were very impressed! We immediately made use of the log burner with the logs provided and were able to pick from a large selection of DVD's and films on hard drive. We had a particularly rainy three days but did not mind as the house was lovely to be in. Views from all windows were also fantastic. Overall we can not fault the stay and would highly recommend. We are already looking forward to returning next year!
Stayed at the Sheep Shack end of June for 4 nights on a very last minute booking and what a great find it was... beautiful location with walks starting right at the door step.
Cottage is very cozy and extremely well equipped with top quality appliances.
The only thing I couldn't find was a pair of oven gloves ..... Michael to make note!!
We were also extremely lucky with the weather last week week.
Would definitely book again. Michael also gave us a tour of Harolds farm, the larger holiday rental opposite the sheep shack and that was beautiful too.
We have just returned from our second stay at The Sheep Shack and are already eagerly anticipating our next trip! The barn is excellently furnished with all the amenities you would need for a week long stay. It' s a great opportunity for salarymen like myself and my friends to get away from the busy metropolis' of London and Lowestoft. The walking options locally are ample and the pretty little village of Hayfield is also within reach.
Slight criticism would just be of the kitchen frying pan could be replaced as well as a few more cleaning utensils. But this is so minor and making these changes would enter the property into a shakra-like state of supremacy.
I would give 6 stars if I could, I almost just want to selfishly keep this world class shack a secret, but it would be an insult to all the hard work Michael has obviously put in, in making it such a comfortable and homely place to stay.
Best wishes and happy holidaying.
Ben Coleman and the lads

This is our second visit to the Sheep Shack and this year we had much better weather. This meant we didn't drive far and simply based our walks from the front door. Walking in this area is glorious and the small village of Hayfield is close by - we liked the Royal Hotel for dinner. The Sheep Shack is of excellent standard and there is everything you need for a cosy and enjoyable stay.

I stayed at the Sheep Shack last summer with my wife. We were up from London for our wedding and this was the perfect retreat away from the pre wedding stresses. The owner was great and answered any queries we had. Everything you could think of is taken of. It is a really high spec holiday letting in a beautiful part of the world. I would definitely recommend it and will be visiting again.
Just be careful making your way there though, I used an old sta nav and it took me the wrong way.

We stayed here for 4 nights over New Years Eve - it is in a beautifully remote location with access to excellent walking, and is wonderfully furnished and the kitchen excellently equipped. It is large and extremely comfortable (the photos really don't do it justice - it's superb) and we were toastie warm for the duration of our stay. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend it. Our thanks to the owner.

We spent four days at the Sheep Shack walking and visiting relatives. The Shack is extremely well appointed and well kept. We loved the fact that there were walks directly outside the door and they were amazing. Our favourite thing about the Shack was the wood burner which was lovely to return to on a cold November evening. We definitely want to return.
