About this place

Sleeping 2, this is an original shepherds hut, and as such it's possibly something of a rarity in the glamping world! This would have once been a place for a weary shepherd(ess) to take refuge from the weather and tend to sick or orphaned lambs. The space under the bed would have been reserved to accommodate these - now it's a storage space for luggage, and the interior has been updated to provide comfortable guest accommodation with vintage styling. And a few nods to the shepherding life inside, decor and books. The hut is situated on the edge of a hay meadow, in the shade of willow trees. It's a short walk from the farmhouse and a quiet spot away from other guests. In terms of facilities, the hut is completely off-grid. There is no mains water inside, but water is provided (and there is a shared mains water tap for guest use up near the farmhouse). You will have sole use of a composting toilet (situated next to the hut), as well as access to a shared shower and flushing toilets (a 2-3 mins walk from the hut). A log burner will keep you warm at night and there is a gas hob with kettle for heating water (we provide hot water bottles too).

Rediscover nature, wildlife and the great British countryside, but with a hassle-free level of comfort and luxury. Simply camping and glamping at its best.

We open up our grazing fields for campers to enjoy the countryside, good walks and local hostelries. Glamping units enjoy space and privacy from campers - perfect for a quiet getaway or maybe a writer's retreat? Choose from the shelter of our lower fields, or watch the sunset and wake up to the stunning views from our higher fields. Either way, you’ll have space to really get away from it all.
