The details
Tucked away in the beautiful landscape of the Sussex Weald, surrounded by rolling hills and majestic conifer trees, this shepherd’s hut is a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle. It’s located on the grounds of a 19th century pinetum which creates a fairytale feel with just deer, badgers and owls for company. Enjoy the peaceful scenery and the outdoor lifestyle, cooking on the BBQ and discovering footpaths through the surrounding woodland. This romantic rural escape is perfect for couples looking to unplug for a while and reconnect with nature.
Inside the carefully designed, bespoke shepherd’s hut, you’ll find plenty of luxuries to keep you cosy and comfortable during your stay. There’s a king-size bed tucked away to one side, sectioned off slightly by bookshelves, creating a cosy nook. In the centre, there’s a comfy living space with two armchairs positioned in front of a wood burning stove, the perfect spot to snuggle up on chillier evenings with a glass of wine and a good book. There’s also a well-equipped kitchenette with all the basics to get you started. Just past the kitchen, you’ll find the modern shower room with stylish black and brass fittings.
On sunny days, spend most of your time outdoors, sitting back and relaxing on the comfy seating, keeping an eye out for any wildlife that might wander by. You’re likely to spot plenty of birds including owls, badgers, bats, deer and maybe even a glow-worm or two. Other than these visitors, the shepherd’s hut has complete privacy in the tree-lined asparagus garden.
Enjoy a coffee outdoors and perhaps rustle up a cooked breakfast on the BBQ. Soak up the peace and quiet around the shepherd’s hut or go exploring by following one of the footpaths through the trees. The local village is just a 10-minute walk away where you’ll find a shop and a post office and there are four pubs in the area, serving up delicious food and craft beers. In the evenings, get the fire pit going back at The Asparagus Garden and enjoy a romantic dinner followed by a bit of star gazing.
If you fancy venturing a little further from your peaceful paradise, there’s plenty to do in the local area. Explore pretty market towns, such as Heathfield and Lewes or pack your walking boots and explore the rolling hills of the South Downs National Park and Ashdown Forest. Head down to the coast and spend the day in Brighton or visit some of the country’s finest vineyards and National Trust properties in the surrounding countryside.

We have just spent a wonderful Easter break at the Asparagus Garden Hut. The hut is in a stunning garden setting. Extremely private, amongst the wildlife and trees. A lovely welcome from the hosts David and Katherine, and their family dog Enzo. The hut was the perfect getaway where we got to visit some stunning places, made some beautiful memories and got to relax in the evenings.
