The two shepherd’s huts, called Pheasant and Lapwing, sit in their own tranquil corners of the site, each offering a cosy and characterful retreat for two. Inside, you’ll find thoughtfully designed interiors that strike the perfect balance between rustic charm and modern comfort. Warm, inviting and full of charm, each hut provides a snug place to unwind after a day exploring, whether you’re curled up with a book or simply enjoying the stillness of the surrounding countryside.
