This bespoke, hand built shepherd's hut is a stunning luxury retreat for 2. With a wood fired hot tub, wood burner, underfloor heating & wet room, this is the ultimate year round escape. Nestled amongst fields of pigs & sheep, with breathtaking views over the valley, the hut has private parking, a stone fire pit, French linen bedding, bath robes, TV/DVD player and Roberts radio. Perfect in every season.

Other things to note
The wood fired hot tub is available all year round. Please note, however, that it can take up to 4 hours to heat up. It is not suitable for those who wish to go out for the day and come back to a hot tub. It takes regular attention to enable it to get to the correct temperature.
Easy burn bio logs are used for the hot tub burner. The first bag of these is complimentary, and any further bags can be purchased for £5 each.

There are fresh eggs to buy onsite, and a welcome hamper is available to order. This includes local sausages, bacon, eggs, sourdough, butter, milk, tea, coffee and biscuits. For special occasions, bubbly on ice & a hand tied bouquet of flowers can be arranged to be ready on arrival. Please enquire for further details.

DOGS - small dogs only please. There is a £20 charge for dogs which can be paid in CASH on arrival. Dogs are not permitted on the bed or the furniture. Extra cleaning required will be charged for.
