Escape to the Nottinghamshire countryside with a stay in this characterful shepherd’s hut near Newark – a peaceful retreat for couples or solo travellers craving a mix of relaxation and adventure. Start your morning with a coffee overlooking the on-site lake, before diving in for a refreshing wild swim. Anglers can spend lazy afternoons fishing as dragonflies dart across the water. When you’re ready to roam, the historic market town of Newark (4 miles) offers traditional pubs, independent shops, and riverside strolls. Aviation enthusiasts shouldn’t miss the fascinating Newark Air Museum (10 miles), home to an impressive collection of aircraft and artefacts that bring aviation history to life. For a day trip, head to Grantham (13 miles) to discover its market squares and cosy cafes, or venture a little further to Nottingham (21 miles), where you can explore the city’s legendary caves, castle, and lively dining scene.

Set directly opposite a tranquil lake, this stunning, high-spec shepherd’s hut is surrounded by nature with breathtaking views over the water. Step inside to discover a thoughtfully designed interior, complete with a bespoke kitchen featuring a fridge, cooker, oven, and coffee machine – ideal for rustling up a leisurely breakfast or a romantic dinner for two. Enjoy your morning coffee at the breakfast bar overlooking the water. At one end of the hut, a sumptuous double bed dressed in Egyptian cotton promises restful nights, while at the other, a sleek private bathroom boasts a luxurious waterfall shower for a refreshing rinse at the end of the day.

Outside, a wraparound patio provides the perfect spot for al fresco dining or evening drinks, and a grassy lawn leads gently down to the lakeside – an idyllic place to relax, read, or simply take in the view. Private parking for two cars is included, ensuring an effortless stay.
