The hut is situated under the shelter of the wooded canopy but benefits from all the light and sunshine from the meadows. There are wild deer, birds of prey, including barn owls, buzzards, kestrels, and sparrow hawks. We are also sanctuary to several pheasants, all of which you are likely to see during your stay.

The shepherd’s hut is located at the end of a slate path, lit by solar lights, should you arrive at night. 

Our farmhouse is across the field, 70 or so metres away, but it is completely obscured. Neither hut nor house overlook each other, so you will be completely private. You can contact us should you need any assistance or local recommendations.

Outside the hut consists of a grey-slate patio, with table and chairs and a fire pit. A few metres away in a lovely ring of trees, we hang hammocks in the warmer months. We will be building a fire pit under the canopy later in spring, so you can enjoy the fire whilst swinging in hammocks. 

Access to the hut is by 3 wooden steps; there is no rail in place, so please consider this if you have limited mobility. 

The shepherd’s has plenty of hot and cold running water, and electricity powered by solar and mains electricity. 

Inside, is a wood burning stove which heats up quickly. There will be plenty of wood, fire lighters, and kindling for the log burner for your stay. The hut is well insulated with sheep’s wool and holds its heat in the winter, so you will be toasty warm. 

You will find a beautiful handmade oak-framed double bed, with comfortable mattress, feather duvet and pillows, white Egyptian cotton sheets, and extra blankets – or you can choose to bring your own bedding if you prefer.

There are 2 steps up to the bed. We built it high to provide perfect views of the woods and fields whilst staying snug under the duvet. There is ample storage space under the bed, and lighting under the bed too.
