Soak up the views during your stay.
A bespoke shepherd hut nestled in a quiet field corner on a working arable farm in the heart of East Anglia. The perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of modern life, it is ideally located to enjoy a glass of wine watching the sun set over the surrounding fields. The hut offers a luxurious feel, whilst being off-grid, utilising solar power. Within walking distance of a quaint English village, and footpaths on which to explore the countryside. Or just relax in front of the log burner.

The space
The handmade shepherd hut offers self-contained accommodation for 2, with raised double bed, kitchenette with gas hob and seating area, log burning stove, and en suite with a toilet and shower. Bright airy décor, and lots of hidden storage give the hut a spacious feel. There is plenty of outdoor space to enjoy alfresco dining, and a gas barbecue is provided. Please not there is no mains power in the shepherd hut, only USB charging points.

Guest access
You will have the whole hut to yourselves with a large outside area.

Other things to note
Please note parking is not located at the hut but a 300m walk away. Access to the hut from the parking area is via a grass path which depending on weather can be a little muddy. Please bring suitable footwear.

Also, the farm driveway can be bumpy at times with potholes, due to bad weather. It is easily passable in a car but worth taking it slowly.

We are a small working arable farm. From time to time large machinery will be moving around. The hut is on the edge of a cropped field so at certain times tractors, combines and other agricultural vehicles may be working close by.

For safety reasons, the fire pit will be unavailable at certain times of the year over the summer, depending on how dry the crop in the adjacent field is. This is due to potential risk it poses of field fires.
