Restore your equilibrium with the perfect privacy, incredible views and stylish comfort of Horseshoe Shepherd's Hut. Hand-built down to the very finest detail, Horseshoe nestles at the end of a private lane in its very own orchard, with a wide, raised deck that's home to a lovely al fresco dining area and charcoal weber BBQ as well as a superb hot tub, all illuminated by atmospheric outdoor lighting. Whether it's a cooked breakfast, a sundowner or toasted marshmallows under the stars, you can truly relax in this welcoming spot. Step beyond and there are 200 acres of ancient, unspoilt woodland to explore - including wild swimming in the river at the bottom of the valley. Chickens live at the foot of the orchard, the owner's sheep graze in a nearby paddock, and the entire area abounds with wildlife, some of which you'll be bound to spot perched on the bird table outside your bedroom window. This really is the place to shake off any stress and refresh your senses.
The hut features traditional wooden cladding and a corrugated metal, barrel-shaped roof, but inside it's full of modern luxuries. Super-spacious, its open-plan layout features a mix of painted tongue-and-groove cladding and pretty wallpaper, and includes a well-equipped kitchen with an oven, induction hob, ceramic sink and fridge/freezer, a dining-area with a window overlooking the orchard, and a comfy sofa that faces the view through the double French doors. There's a wood-burner for cosy nights in - backed up by under-floor heating, no less - and a king-size bed opposite a window with a view and a wall-mounted TV (with DVD player), so you can lie in bed and either watch the weather or binge-watch your favourite box-set. Last but not least, the en suite shower-room is simply magnificent, with a walk-in shower, proper flushing WC, wash-basin (and storage!) and even a heated towel rail.
