The details

Imagine sinking into a bubbling wood-fired hot tub, watching the sun disappear behind the Shropshire Hills as the stars begin to twinkle overhead. That's the kind of magic waiting for you at Shropshire Shepherd's Huts, where two beautifully handcrafted hideaways offer couples an idyllic escape surrounded by some of England's most spectacular countryside, or solo travellers the chance to relax and unwind in style.

Tucked into a peaceful hillside near Bishop's Castle, Oak Hut and Olive Hut each sleep two guests and enjoy their own secluded setting with magnificent panoramic views. Oak Hut sits proudly on the hillside with far-reaching vistas stretching towards the horizon, while Olive Hut nestles into the landscape with glorious views across the Long Mynd. Both promise fresh country air, wonderful tranquillity and the chance to completely switch off.

Inside, these charming retreats have everything you need for a cosy and comfortable stay. Snuggle into your double bed after a day exploring, light the wood-burning stove and enjoy the simple pleasure of having absolutely nowhere you need to be. Each hut features a well-equipped kitchenette with an induction hob, microwave and fridge, alongside a private bathroom with a hot shower. Fluffy towels, bathrobes and thoughtful little touches make settling in effortless.

Outside is where the real magic happens. Spend lazy mornings sipping coffee in your covered outdoor lounge, known as The Cabin, with nothing but rolling hills and birdsong for company. Fire up the BBQ for a delicious alfresco supper, toast marshmallows around the firepit or challenge each other to a game of darts. Feeling brave? Take an invigorating dip in the cold plunge before rewarding yourself with a long, luxurious soak in your private wood-fired hot tub. As darkness falls, wrap yourself in a robe and gaze up at the star-filled sky.

Four-legged friends are welcome too, so your dog can join you on those glorious countryside adventures.

When you're ready to explore, the colourful market town of Bishop's Castle is just a short drive or scenic walk away, with traditional pubs, independent shops and a lively music scene. Walk the magnificent Long Mynd, discover the medieval splendour of Ludlow Castle or explore the beautiful ruins of Stokesay Castle. With countless walking trails, welcoming country pubs and breathtaking scenery on your doorstep, this is a wonderful corner of Shropshire to discover.
