Shepherds Hut

Following a recent trip to Cumbria where we were introduced to these charming temporary homes, we have ordered one from Plankbridge in Dorset.

This is how it will look, but it won’t be here until sometime in Spring 2012.

It will be located beside the Secret Pond, which is surrounded by trees and very secluded.  Ideal for those couples seeking privacy.

The lake is stocked with roach and carp so will appeal to anglers.  No one has fished there for at least 8 years so the fish are in good condition.

This is our JCB clearing the undergrowth away to make room for the hut.

Watch this page for the latest developments on ths site.

The hut will be well appointed with a 6’6″ long and 4’6″ wide bed and mattress, small wood burning stove and other comforts.

The shower and toilet will be in the stable block a short walk away.  The hut will be totally private and with no plumbing or electricity – so it’s a real back to nature experience.

We will be placing squirrel feeders at the site to encourage the red squirrels which are abundant on the farm.

This is how the site is looking now (8 Aug 2011) – all ready for the hut.
