From the owner

Our luxury shepherd hut is handcrafted on the estate by Blackdown Shepherd Huts. It boasts beautiful views across historic parkland. The interior is tastefully designed with a country feel. There is a log burner to cosy up next to and kitchen facilities to cook with, including an outdoor firepit and pizza oven. It has an ensuite with shower and flushing toilet. To make the most of the space, the bed has been designed to fold away when not needed but is easy to pull down at the end of the day. It is ideally placed with easy access to explore the West Country.

Woodfired hot tub for exclusive use by guests

House rules

It is important for visitors to be aware that our shepherd hut is on wheels and therefore is accessed by means of climbing up four steps, there is no handrail. The bed will need to be pulled down using a strap at night and pushed back up during the day. The hut is sited in a field and while there is a 100m long level pathway leading to it, depending upon the time of year it may not be possible to drive any closer and there is no parking immediately next to the hut.

Best Shepherds hut
Dec 2018

We loved staying in Stanley. The quality is what set this apart. We could happily have stayed a week instead of just two nights. Thank you so much.
