Adults-only shepherd’s hut in a private, off-grid paddock
A 15-minute drive to Silverstone Circuit; well-situated for hiking
Fully-fitted kitchen and ensuite; outdoor barbecue and dining area

Sink your teeth into this adults-only shepherd’s hut, well-situated for hikers and outdoor fans in the Northamptonshire countryside… The Orchard at Stowe is in the peaceful hamlet of Church Stowe, 10 minutes’ drive from Towcester and 15 minutes from the Silverstone Circuit, where racing events and driving experiences will bring some action. What a set-up for outdoorsy adults - the hut is accessible down a path through a small spinney, which originates from the hut’s private, off-road car park. Get your digital detox in the private paddock, which is totally off-grid and surrounded by rare-breed Leicester Longwool sheep. You’ll have a front-seat view of the sheep and the surrounding countryside with the tables and sunloungers that are set out over the hardstanding areas. Part of that precious outdoor space is a separate area with a barbecue and an outdoor dining set for sunset dinners, morning brews and afternoon aperitifs (whatever you fancy, really). The inside of the hut is rather cosy indeed. There’s a kingsize bed, a breakfast table and a fully-fitted kitchen with a fridge, a gas hotplate and sink. Bring your own towels for the ensuite shower room, which is kitted out with a full-size shower, sink and flushing toilet. There’s no wifi, so busy yourself with adding the provided charcoal to the barbecue and chiminea or cooking up something tasty using the crockery, pots, pans and utensils provided. There’s tea, coffee, sustainable toiletries, maps and games at your disposal too. If you’d like to treat yourself to a dinner for two or a coffee date, look towards Towcester, Northampton (25 minutes’ drive) or the Old Dairy Farm Craft Centre, which is 25 minutes’ walk away and has niche shops, a restaurant and a tearoom.

Shepherd's hut

Liked: We liked everything about our stay. Stunning little Shepherd's Hut, every little thing has been thought of. So peaceful and relaxing. Lovely shower. Comfy big bed. We enjoyed the bbq charcoal was provided. Brilliant kitchenette with everything you need to cook a yummy breakfast. Highlight of our stay was waking up and stepping outside with our morning cuppa to the sheep saying baa baa to us. We will definitely be back to stay. Thank you Sharon and Steve for a lovely break away, and your advice no places to visit and walks to take. Lisa &Dru

Disliked: There is absolutely nothing to dislike.
