Located on the fringes of a picturesque Yorkshire village, set around a duck pond, this skilfully crafted shepherd's hut is one of three similar properties that offer couples and small families a peaceful countryside escape.
Combining rustic charm with a contemporary finish, the studio-style open-plan cooking, dining and sleeping layout of this shepherd's hut provides all your creature comforts. The quirky curved ceiling and wood burner set a cosy, cocooning ambience that invites weary walkers to unwind. Lose yourself in picturesque views out over the pond as you enjoy your morning coffee or a glass of something chilled, seated at the small dining area. The stylish kitchen boasts everything you need to rustle up a hearty breakfast or perfect picnic. The bespoke bunk beds, comprising a single bed over a double bed, set in a quiet spot at one end of the shepherd’s hut, promise a peaceful rest. Outside, the picnic bench enjoys glorious views over the duck pond and countryside, the perfect spot for al fresco dining. There is also a log-burning hot tub to enjoy (additional costs apply). There is ample off-road parking.
