Peacefully positioned on the bank of a private fishing pool, this contemporary styled shepherd’s hut brings the past into the future with its modern aesthetics combined with traditional features. Complete with its private hot tub, it is simply perfect for couples or fisherman wanting to enjoy a tranquil escape.

Upon arrival at the location, you will take possession of an electronic gate fob and enter through the gate to be greeted by your own large gravel parking space with bespoke fishing themed signs showing your parking and accommodation position. Although the shepherd's hut looks traditionally built it is far from that…. the very latest eco-friendly materials combined with a modern take on design will offer you a place that few (if any) other huts provide.

The hut offers a cosy retreat that’s finished with many homely touches and everything you will need for your stay. The hut is open plan with a wood burning fire to keep you warm, a kitchen space with wooden work tops, electric oven and an induction hob, a fridge/freezer, and built-in microwave oven. A small table and chairs for breakfast offer a stunning view. The king sized bed is raised and was designed to give ample storage, or to give your pets their own space in which to unwind. If just relaxing in bed is your idea of heaven a wall mounted TV at the end of the bed with a small selection of DVDs will offer you some light entertainment. (Feel free to bring your own DVD's too!). A selection of board games and playing cards are also provided with further seating found in the form of a small cosy two seater sofa to give a nice perch in which to watch the logs burn or to watch TV. Of an evening, it is recommended you look through the huge “Juliet” styled window that overlooks the pool; night time lighting around the fishing pool means the wildlife is often more interesting than the TV anyway!

Outside is a spacious enclosed area that no one can see into or enter, unless you invite them, a space you can relax and unwind, either on the rattan furniture provided…or the hot tub that sits next to the hut, you can enjoy soaking after a day exploring, fishing, or simply enjoy the night skies...if the skies are clear a telescope is provided …. There is a BBQ for alfresco dining. A small round coffee morning table with 2 high contemporary styled bar stools is situated at the opposite end of the shepherd’s hut.

The toilet/shower room is a short few seconds from the hut...brand new and fully appointed it is a complete washing /drying/ironing room that can only be entered by poacher’s perch guests.

The fishing pool is available to fish 24hrs per day “at no extra cost" to guests.
