Hi there and welcome to The Swift… If you're looking for somewhere that's chilled and romantic, with a few sheep thrown in, you've found the perfect place. Whether you want to go hiking round the South Down's, take a day trip to Brighton or just relax on a deck chair with a glass of Prosecco, our quaint little shepherd's hut is just for you! Beautiful peaceful surroundings, the birds chorus, baaa-ing sheep and gorgeous clear starry skies await you. And not forgetting the bubbling hot tub! The hut sits in a huge field behind the house. It’s private in the fact, there’s a tall walled garden between us. I can’t see anything but the chimney from any of the rooms in the house. The entire back area is yours for your stay, so the field, hut area, theres an area with sun loungers and the hot tub, which you can use as often as you like and it’s completely free. Just a little reminder Im very happy for you to blast your music out, there’s only the sheep and moles who can hear it. Also i have a hairdryer and iron available upon request. There’s also a huge storage area underneath the bed for bags or clothes etc. There will always be enough coals and logs for a bbq or the fire pit but if you do require more, happy to sell you some as keep plenty spare. If you do happen to forget something, please knock on the door and ask if i have, always happy to help if i can. Please be mindful we sit on a plot of land that we share with an Equine centre, so expect a small amount of vehicles during the week& one or two at weekend. The hospital shuts at 5.30pm unless it’s an emergency and opens at 8.30am weekdays. Closed at the weekend. The field the hut sits in, has a long wide strip that is mowed weekly, the rest is natural so expect dandelions and thistles and lots of wildlife, butterflies, crickets etc No doubt during your stay, you will see a new mole hill appear, but as yet, we have not sighted Mr Mole. Also be aware, we have a ‘lav shack’ or as I call it, Narnia… It’s a compost loo so no flush. You just lift the lid and shovel a little compost on your business and leave it. I will empty after you leave, yes it’s a little strange at first but it’s so simple to use and excellent for the environment. Also we have recently had new LED lighting fitted to our hot tub, but if you want to be in darkness that’s absolutely fine, on the back of the tub is a huge switch, just turn it off and on there. In the welcome book that’s in the hut, I will include all instructions for the Wi-Fi, induction hob, hot tub and wood burner etc. But if you do need extra help, with anything at all, drop me a txt or pop up to the house, I’m more than happy to help.
