Escape to rural Nottinghamshire in this charming shepherd’s hut in the small village of South Leverton. Sleeping two guests, the pet-friendly retreat is perfect for couples who love being out and about in nature. Enjoy scenic walks along the banks of the River Trent, or head to nearby Spalford Warren Nature Reserve (11.5 miles) to spend a restful afternoon amongst the trees and rare wildlife. Enhance your stay with a whole host of onsite activities, workshops, treatments, and packages (arranged directly with the owner, additional charges apply).
The rustic shepherd’s hut sits within a small complex of similar retreats, with your privacy assured. A flight of steps leads to the rural bolthole and once inside you’ll find a studio-style living space with gorgeous wood panelling and handcrafted furniture. You’ll have a compact kitchenette for rustling up light meals, and there’s a wood burner that acts as both an oven and your heating, creating a cosy atmosphere on chillier days. Share romantic meals at the breakfast bar under the window or outside at the bistro table. Completing the space is a comfortable double bed, and you’ll also have a separate shower room with a compost WC. Outside, you’ll have a choice of areas to sit, unwind, and listen to the birds in the surrounding trees. This space also features a firepit and a wood-fired hot tub for reviving weary legs after a long walk. Private parking is provided for one car.
From the property, take day trips to Sherwood Forest (17 miles), the home of Robin Hood, or the beautiful Rufford Abbey Country Park (18 miles). The cathedral city of Lincoln is 17 miles away and is famous for its stunning architecture, cobbled streets, and hilltop views. Other popular attractions in the area include Newark Air Museum and Doddington Hall and Gardens, both within 20 miles.
