This shepherd’s hut is the perfect getaway for a couple keen to immerse themselves in nature and explore this wonderful area of the Surrey Hills. Take time out from the daily routine and enjoy the peace and quiet amid the high-spec beauty of this small, but perfectly formed, accommodation.
Up five steps and opening the charming – and practical – stable door, your bijou home from home awaits. With a rustic, cottage vibe, the interiors feature lots of wood with shutters, windows and flooring, plus painted panelling on the walls and gently curved ceiling. At one end, the king-size bed awaits, but there’s a kitchenette, seating and dining area plus a wood burner all cleverly squeezed into this surprisingly generous space. There’s even a shower room and WC behind a door at one end. Head outside to the garden, where you can dine at a table or enjoy the rolling views from the bench. Private parking for two cars is a bonus.
