Glamping for kids
The Shepherds Hut can be linked to one of the cottages using their bathroom and kitchen factilities. There is a settee that converts into a 5ft wide futon bed, a table and chair and small book case. It has mains electric but no heating, so suitable for use in the summer months only, but a bit of fun if you fancy a night of glamping.
Although used by Tom's father on the farm to house the engine which drove the milking parlour, shepherd's huts were originally used as a mobile home and working shed by shepherds out in the fields.
Our shepherds hut can still be moved around, pulled by a tractor, but on metal wheels it is a bumpy ride. We restored as much as mpossible of the original construction, and most of the original metal work remains as well as the roof.
