The Space
Sycamore Shepherd’s Hut is a beautifully crafted bespoke retreat, featuring a stylish oak interior and an exceptionally comfortable double bed, perfect for a peaceful countryside escape.
Inside the hut you’ll find a fully equipped kitchenette with a two-ring gas hob, microwave, small fridge, kettle, toaster and a charming Belfast sink. We’ve thought of everything: pots and pans, crockery, cutlery, cafetière, teapot, glasses, plus complimentary essentials including tea, coffee, hot chocolate, sugar, oil, salt, and pepper.
The en-suite bathroom includes a shower, toilet, wash basin, and heated towel rail. You’ll also find shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner provided, so you can pack light!
All bed linen and towels are included, and there’s generous under-bed storage to keep your luggage neatly tucked away.
For chilly evenings, get cosy with the log burner (logs provided) or use the radiator. We’ve also provided extra blankets and hot water bottles to ensure your stay is as warm and snug as possible.
Step outside to the patio area with Jack & Jill wooden seating and a chiminea, the perfect spot to unwind, enjoy the open countryside views, and watch the local wildlife.
We welcome one small to medium-sized dog, with no extra charge.
Please note: while there’s no Wi-Fi, a good 4G signal is generally available. Or better still, switch off your devices and immerse yourself in the peace and beauty of nature!
