If you want somewhere clean tidy modern and situated very conveniently close to the broads then you will find it harder to beat. One suggestion - air con would definitely be a massive plus and ensure a peaceful sleep given rising temperatures moving forward. Otherwise 10/10.

Our little break away!
Really enjoyed our stay at the shepherds hut, nice roomy place , very clean , loving the free range eggs and shortbread on arrival even a pint of milk for a cuppa tea x Was very out of the way which was lovely , we found a path to the church on the last day but least we know where it is for next time! Lovely to walk across the fields and see the cows, goats, and even a lovely horse. Children loved the fact the place had wi~Fi so they were kept amused. Great tv too was great to watch it in the evening. The kitchen had everything you needed to make a meal was super, lovely hot shower also. I especially loved the cordless hoover. Would for sure stay here again even received a visit from the owner asking my hubby if everything was ok in which it was perfect. Hopefully see you next year Elaine & Matt

Weeks Holiday
The property was very well equipped and clean we enjoyed watching the owl in the field behind us The only thing that spoilt it was the last day when we had new people move in next door with two dogs every time when someone walked by the dogs bark so we ended up not sitting in the garden because of them constantly barking and was very glad they hadn’t been there all week with us

Perfect get away
We had a relaxed break away with our dog, Claudia. Sandra an Paul were great, including lovely touches on arrival. The lane was a source of excitement for our dog; people watching!! Great for walking and seeing the boats on the river.

Second stay :-)
Lovely compact accommodation in a good location to explore this area of Norfolk. This was our second stay, having previously stayed the other side in the Lambs Creche and it was just as nice as we remembered. Only point for improvement would be to update the pans in the kitchen. Appreciate that people may tend to go out to eat when on holiday, but we cooked each night and felt the need to buy a pan to use as the ones provided have all seen better days.

Great place and location
Shepherds Hut is great, very quiet, lovely views, close to the river and a pleasant and easy 10 min walk into Loddon over the fields. We stayed for 3 nights while visiting family in the village and it was perfect. Great to have the owners pop round to check everything was ok. Only improvement suggestion would be to renew the double mattress, otherwise everything was as expected and good quality

Wonderful holiday
Great location and weather, we were surprised to see how close the river was and you could see boats passing by. It's a short walk to the shops and everyone was friendly. The house was very well equipped and it's clear that a lot of thought went into getting it ready! We met one of the owners who gave us a scale as we had forgotten ours, she was very friendly and cheerful. We would 100% recommend coming here!

Fab week in Loddon
We had a lovely welcome gift of fresh eggs and milk in a comfortable home with very friendly neighbours. Loddon was a friendly village with food shop, pubs and a fabulous tea room as well as good takeaways within easy walking distance of the property. Dogs thoroughly enjoyed their stay and talking to all the other dogs going past. We would definitely recommend Sandra and Paul’s property and thank them for a very enjoyable stay.
