Luxurious shepherd’s huts with private gardens and a communal bar

Introducing: Shepherd's Lodge, tucked in the peaceful Vale of Belvoir. Spanning the borders of Lincolnshire, Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire, the Vale of Belvoir is packed with natural scenery, characterful villages, scenic countryside and sunsets that will sweep your breath away at times. There are plenty of ways to spend your time at this escape. Simply relax and take in all of the peace and quiet. Embrace the country life and fresh air. You could also feed the ducks or have a chilled glass of wine. The bespoke adults-only shepherd’s huts are set around a lake overlooking Belvoir Castle. They're just five minutes’ drive from Bottesford in Leicestershire. Pretty much everything you’ll need is supplied in the high-end and well-appointed units, each of which has its own decorative theme as well as a private landscaped garden with a hot tub, barbecue and outdoor seating. Inside every hut is underfloor heating and a woodburning stove (two bags of wood are provided and more can be bought on site), a snazzy ensuite shower room with toiletries provided and a carefully kitted-out kitchen with hob, microwave and all utensils. The accommodation checklist is completed with crisp linens on the double beds, a small table for dining à deux and cosy padded seating under the windows. There’s also a covered communal bar area; Duck Inn has tables, swing chairs and a fridge for you to keep booze and food in. Here you can relax with your favourite drink, make new friends with fellow guests or stargaze on clear nights.

Lillie's shepherd's hut

Liked: The hut was so very cute . The owner was lovely and very helpful and went above and beyond. The scenery was very picturesque and is based in a lovley area. The hut was clean and tidy and had all essential you could need.

Disliked: We found the hot tub hard to use. However this is no fault to the owner as he offered to come and help if we need it.
