Hot water, hob and oven run by gas. LED lights and fridge run by solar power. There is a cosy wood burner to keep you warm. All wood supplied. The shepherds huts are set in stunning locations. One in a 10 acre private woodland and the other on the valley hillside with beautiful views. Our huts are aimed at people who want a wild tranquil escape. They are 1/2km away from the nearest road and dwelling.

These look gorgeous xx. Have stayed in one in Cambridgeshire and we prefer shepherds hut x. Can’t wait for our stay in July all being well x
These do look nice, but think I prefer the Shepherd huts. xx Fingers crossed we can come and stay in August! 🙂
Very nice xx
Good morning all! I hope you've been having some sledging fun as we have 🙂
Thank you to all my regulars for hanging on in there and rescheduling as lockdowns keep going. Cancellations are so far up until mid March but personally i do see this going into the summer. I really do hope that we do get a summer window to welcome you all back!
Investing in new things such as the bell tents and horse box shower has been a tricky decision. The woodland hut floor has risen up from damp so look like we may need to completely gut the hut as we did before when we had a water leak.
Here are some piccies of the huts in the snow. Rather beautiful. The woodland was so quiet and still.
Looking forward to the sunny spring now.
Love to all, Hannah x
