  • The space

    Step inside the boutique-style shepherd’s hut and into the open-plan living space. Underfloor heating paves the way to the kitchen/living area with country-style fixtures and nature-inspired décor.

    The small kitchen is equipped with all you will need to self-cater with ease including a microwave, a two-ring induction hob, a toaster, a fridge, a kettle and a selection of cooking utensils. There is also a handy table and chairs which you can fold away to create more floor space and an L-shaped sofa for lounging on after a day in the countryside. BBQ during the summer season can be purchased for an additional cost.

    Meanwhile, a king-size bed sits neatly behind a dividing wall with luxury Egyptian cotton sheets and a goose down duvet. Relax with your favourite movie on the Smart TV or simply admire the serene countryside views at sunset.

    There is also a handy WC and shower.

    Outside, you have access to private decking with a rattan table and chairs for alfresco dining. When the sun starts to set, climb into the luxurious outdoor roll-top bath and relax below a sky full of stars in total peace and privacy.

Local Info

The neighbourhood

The shepherd’s hut is located in the Worcestershire countryside with many scenic walks from the doorstep. The nearest pub is The Masons Arms which is just 6 minutes away by car and serves a range of traditional meals, sharing boards and local ales. There is a tuck shop in each property offered by the owner's young son with a small section of snacks.

For some city life, historic Worcester is 11 miles away where plenty of attractions include the cathedral, the racecourse and The Commandery which was the Royalists’ headquarters during the English Civil War.

The riverside town of Bewdley is 12 miles away and is often described as the perfect small Georgian town in Worcester. There is lots to see and do including river walks, museums and beautiful gardens, plus there is a great selection of pubs, takeaways and restaurants.

For a fun day out, the famous Severn Valley Railway and West Midlands Safari Park are under an hour away. Or, if you are after a real adventure, head to the Wyre Forest where you can whizz through the trees on a zip wire at Go Ape.

With two Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Malvern Hills and the Cotswolds, within easy reach too, there are plenty more opportunities for outdoor pursuits and long hikes through picturesque, unspoilt countryside.
