Stargazy Sky Shepherd's Hut

Overview

Tucked away in a magical off-the-beaten-track location, sits our gorgeous hut, handcrafted for two. Wander through the mature woodland that encompasses your peaceful paradise, admire the small herd of Ruby Red Devon cows and arrive at beautiful Stargazy. The view that lies before the hut will simply take your breath away - picture lush rolling fields as far as the eye can see. Sunset lovers will adore the crimson display over gentle hills. As dusk settles, your hidden haven becomes even more enchanting, pour a glass of bubbles and admire the dazzling night sky above.

Step Inside

This wholesome hideout is just idyllic for those wishing to press pause on their busy schedule and retreat to somewhere special. Lovingly handcrafted for two, you and your favourite person will love nothing more than spending your days tucked up here. There's a double bed snuggled to the right of the hut, adorned with soft linens, ready to lull you to sleep. The cute kitchen is superbly equipped for whipping up a delicious alfresco brunch, complete with an induction hob, combination microwave/grill and a fridge with an ice box. You’ll find the beautifully presented shower room to the left, just perfect for freshening up after exploring the Jurassic Coast. The warming wood-burner is sure to keep you toasty during the cooler months, or if it’s a summer staycation on your agenda, head outside and soak up the Devonshire sunshine…

Outdoors

The outside space is truly special, as it’s encompassed by verdant green trees and overlooks pretty patchwork fields. There’s plenty of spots to sit back and watch the natural world go by. During the warmer months why not delve into a good read on the lovely swing seat, enjoy lunch alfresco or have an afternoon snooze in the hammock. While in autumn and winter watch as the landscapes transcend to a coppery canvas. Why not shower amongst the wildness in the unique outdoor shower fed by a natural spring, sure to wake bleary heads and leave you feeling totally invigorated. Please note, this is cold water only. As the sunset casts a golden glow over your peaceful paradise, why not rustle up some smokey delights over the barbecue? When in season, you can buy barbecue packs from the lovely owners, as well as fruit, veg and eggs. Or how about some local cider, made from the owner's nearby orchard? Pretty festoon lighting illuminates the outside space as dusk settles and the twinkly night sky really sets the scene for your romantic evening in nature's paradise.
