  • Single shepherd's hut in a private garden in Cambridgeshire
  • King's Lynn 20 minutes' drive; Hunstanton beach 45 minutes
  • Sole use of toilet and shower; equipped kitchen and outdoor space
Set your compass for a splendid single shepherd’s hut in an excellent spot for adventures around the East Anglian fens and coastline… the hut at Rosary Farm is certainly a rosy place to stay in a small, private garden near the village of St John's Fen End in Cambridgeshire. Sleeping up to two (with additional room for a small baby), this cosy glamping unit has plenty of outdoor space, plus its own private toilet and shower. Climb the three steps up to a stable door… inside, there’s a comfy double bed and a kitchenette with a two-ring electric hob, small chiller, kettle, toaster, pots and pans, crockery and cutlery. There’s ample storage under the bed for luggage, plus a folding table and chairs that can be easily tucked away when you’re not using them. A portable electric heater/fan is available, but the hut has double glazing and it’s insulated (appropriately enough) with sheep's wool, so you shouldn’t need it too much. You’re not totally off-grid here, as the hut has electric lighting and sockets. Off-road parking is also available approximately 20 metres from the hut so there's not far to lug your kit. It’s private enough here, as the hut’s in the garden and not in full view of the house. For alfresco cooking, there’s a garden table, two chairs and a firepit with a grid (initial fuel is supplied and more can be bought on site if necessary). The area is generally very peaceful, although it is on a working arable farm so there may be some noise, particularly during harvest time. The owners have dogs, cats, chickens and a very large pet pig, and the local wildlife provides its own soundtrack, especially after dark.

Willow shepherd's hut

Liked: On the morning of travel i received a very detailed message from the host with clear directions and a contact number should we have any problems, we then received a very warm welcome on arrival, were shown where everything was and then left to settle in, with the comfort that if we needed anything or had any issues all we had to do was ask. The hut is in a lovely setting and equipped with everything you need for a short break, we enjoyed 3 nights here. The tea, coffee & pint of milk was a really nice touch. The hut and toilet facilities were both clean and bright and the good weather allowed us to sit outside and enjoy the garden area with the 🔥 pit ablaze late in to the evening.

Local attractions

There’s a lot of scope for lazy days from this site, from river fishing a few minutes’ walk away to pedalling around the boardwalks at the Wicken Fen Nature Reserve (an hour’s drive). Just note that you’ll need to seek a licence for fishing on the local river in advance. Those of you who can’t pass on an afternoon pottering around shops or eateries and taking in the feel of a town will find some splendid places to do that too… take in the Georgian architecture around Wisbech (15 minutes) or choose between the town trail, the Hanse Trail and Maritime Trail in King's Lynn (20 minutes) for some very historical strolls packed with Hanseatic history. More history can be tracked down at Peckover House and Garden (20 minutes), Peterborough Cathedral (45 minutes), Castle Rising (30 minutes) or Castle Acre (35 minutes), but for donkey rides and some of the classic seaside, Hunstanton beach (45 minutes) is a splendid choice.
