Shepherd's Rest Reviews
Shepherd's Rest is in a quiet location on a small family farm, close to the town of Berwick-Upon-Tweed and only a ten minute drive from some amazing beaches. Offering grass pitches for tents, campervans and motorhomes or for glamping, opt for one of the cosy shepherd's huts. Set in the Scottish Borders, you'll be surrounded by some of the most beautiful countryside in the UK and you'll also be able to spot some of the farm's animals nearby too!

The shepherds hut is in a great location and handy for exploring Berwick and the Scottish borders. The location was peaceful and beautiful. Our hut was immaculate, as were the facilities. Alison was welcoming and helpful, and took time to introduce us to Katie the pony!

My first stay in a shepherd's hut and at the farm, and I was not disappointed. Greeted by Alison for my two night stay, who was warm and friendly. The hut itself is small, but well equipped, and the separate toilets and showers were just a short wall away and immaculately clean. Berwick-upon-Tweed is a 15 minute drive away, and the area around the farm is stunning.

Our kind of campsite. Lovely host made us feel very welcome. Facilities very clean and comfortable. Lovely setting and had a very sound sleep! Very convenient for a base to explore a broad area covering Borders, South East Scotland and North East England. We will definitely come back.

Really nice set-up for campervans, tents and shepherds' huts. Friendly owner responds to phone call on arrival. Facilities are all modern and clean. Very quiet farmland spot with incredibly dark skies at night. The rented fire-pits produce a great atmosphere in the early evening! Recommended.

This is a fabulously peaceful and beautiful small campsite in a really interesting (& dark sky) part of the Borders. The facilities are clean and well-maintained and (at the time of writing) new. It's one of the loveliest places we've ever stayed. We booked it because it was a convenient stop-over on our way North but for sure, we'll be back for a longer stay.

A quiet campground and a very friendly host. There are two toilet blocks (loo and shower) and one loo 'in the field'. It certainly is the most charming loo I have seen in Scotland!

A beautiful peaceful site. We arrived in our motorhome and were welcomed straight away by Alison, who was very friendly. We had an allocated site which was great in case we needed to drive off for a few hours. The toilets and showers are immaculate. There was an area where we could wash up and there was bug spray etc supplied by the owners for campers to use if necessary. The EHU is catered toward those with tents as it is low voltage, campervans need their own power, but that was no problem for a few nights on a leisure battery. The countryside was beautiful and nicely off the beaten track, nice peaceful, and quiet. I would definitely return.
