Shepherds Huts Glamping Holidays

What’s inside a shepherds hut

• Wood-panelled walls for warmth and rustic character
• A double or king-sized bed with quality linen
• Kitchen area with kettle, toaster, fridge, small hob, pans and crockery
• Wood-burning stove — the centrepiece of most huts, especially in cooler months
• Table and seating for meals and morning coffee
• Shelves, storage and heating, making the most of the compact space
• Blankets for cosy evenings
• Bathroom facilities vary by hut — many have a full en-suite shower room, others a separate private bathroom nearby
• Stable-style doors, letting you open the top half for fresh air while staying snug
• Windows positioned to look directly onto the countryside

What’s outside a shepherds hut

• A deck or outdoor seating area for morning coffee and evening drinks
• Countryside views across fields, hills, woodland or open farmland
• A fire pit or BBQ area for outdoor cooking
• A wood-fired hot tub at many of the most popular huts

Shepherds huts with hot tubs

A shepherds hut with a hot tub is one of our most popular booking types — well suited to a milestone birthday, an anniversary, or a mini-moon. Soaking in a wood-fired hot tub with open countryside around you is difficult to replicate in most other kinds of accommodation. Early booking is recommended, as these huts fill up quickly.

Who is a shepherds hut holiday suited to?

• Couples — seclusion, cosiness and countryside views make a shepherds hut a popular choice for anniversaries, birthdays and mini-moons
• Solo travellers — private and restorative, often positioned in strong walking or cycling country
• Small families — a good number of shepherds huts offer enough space for a couple with young children, as a memorable alternative to a standard cottage
• Dog owners — many shepherds huts welcome dogs, with open countryside and footpaths on the doorstep

Is a shepherds hut holiday good all year round?

Yes. Summer offers long evenings outdoors and warm countryside days. Autumn brings colour and a wood burner that properly earns its keep. Winter has its own appeal — arriving to a warm hut in the dark, extra layers for the hot tub, and frost on the fields by morning. Spring puts you in the middle of the countryside at its most optimistic.
