The details
Tucked away in a leafy cherry orchard in the rolling Herefordshire countryside, Lapin is the kind of place that invites you to slow right down from the moment you arrive. Surrounded by birdsong, blossom and open skies, this beautifully designed, double shepherds hut offers a peaceful escape where days are shaped by nature and simple pleasures. Whether you’re soaking in the hot tub at sunset, wandering quiet country lanes or picking cherries straight from the trees in summer, life here feels wonderfully unhurried.
Inside, Lapin blends thoughtful design with cosy comfort. The open-plan living space is cosy yet spacious, with a stylish lounge area, wood burner and a well-equipped kitchen that makes cooking a joy rather than a chore. You can gather around the table for long, lazy meals or step outside to dine alfresco beneath the orchard canopy. As evening falls, light the firepit and relax by the crackling flames or wander through the trees to discover the Scandinavian BBQ hut, where you can grill and feast in a warm, atmospheric setting, whatever the weather.
Lapin's layout has been thoughtfully designed to feel both open and intimate, with a clever secret door adding a playful touch to the space. When it’s time to unwind, the bedroom is a true sanctuary. The brass king size bed sits beneath a stargazing skylight, so you can drift off beneath a canopy of stars. The shower room, featuring a luxurious rain shower and sleek finishes, is beautifully integrated into the bedroom itself, and features dual access. It flows seamlessly as part of the room rather than a separate ensuite, enhancing the sense of space and boutique-style living. Every detail has been carefully considered to help you relax, from underfloor heating to soft linens and calming interiors.
Outside, the experience continues. The heated spa hot tub is perfectly placed for long soaks as the sun dips behind the orchard, glass in hand. There’s also an all-weather tennis court if you’re feeling energetic, and bikes available for exploring the surrounding lanes. The orchard itself changes with the seasons, from blossom-filled springs to golden autumn days, offering something magical all year round.
On-site, you’ll also find Crafty Corner. A bright and welcoming shared space designed for you to slow down and reconnect with your creative side. It’s stocked with art supplies for you to dip into, from painting tote bags and decorating stones to making beaded jewellery, sketching or simply enjoying some mindful colouring.
Beyond your peaceful retreat, Herefordshire is full of charm. Explore nearby Weobley, where scenes from the BAFTA-winning Hamnet were filmed, with its historic black and white streets offering a glimpse of Shakespearean England. Or head to nearby Pembridge, enjoy walks through rolling countryside, or sample local food and drink in traditional pubs and farm shops. Whether you’re here to explore or simply switch off, Lapin offers the perfect base for a memorable countryside escape.
