SHEPHERD'S HUT ECO-STAY
If you’re looking for an off-grid, comfortable stay, surrounded by nature, then look no further.
Nestled amongst ancient woodland are two shepherd’s hut sites, each with its own wash hut (with hot showers) and four huts for sleeping in.
The huts are cosy and fully-equipped, including bedding and cooking equipment, so you can travel light and enjoy your stay without worrying about whether you packed the cork screw!
You can book up to 2 huts online, and to book more than this (for group bookings and exclusive hire) please contact us directly.
Dogs
We manage the site to support wildlife so sadly dogs are not allowed.
Life in a Shepherd's Hut
The huts are quickly and easily changed between day and night functions. The huts sleep five and the day bed at one end converts to become bunk beds, and the dining table at the other end folds down to make a double bed.
To keep the environmental impact of the accommodation to a minimum, the huts are not connected to a mains gas or electric supply. Instead you have a solar panel which provides electric lighting and you can charge up devices at The Hub cafe onsite. Each hut has a bottled gas heater for when the weather isn’t kind. Read full information here.
what's on board
The huts are fully equipped with bedding, cooking equipment, tumblers, wine glasses and mugs, coffee pots, cutlery, enamelware crockery, saucepan, milk pan, frying pan and cast iron outside cooking equipment. This is specifically designed for cooking on the open fire.
There are a few tea bags and some coffee and sugar on board as well as a j-cloth, tea towel and washing up liquid. There is loo roll and hand soap in the wash hut.
Outside each hut you’ll find dining furniture and a fire pit for cooking (all equipment and a starter pack of logs/kindling is provided).
The Wash Hut houses two loos with basins and two showers. Each have a hot and a cold water supply. Plus there are washing up sinks on the outside of the wash hut.
