Bottesford · 牧羊人小屋 · 1室2床1.5卫 · 可住2人 · Shepherd’s Hut with complete privacy
Mabel our beautiful Shepherd’s hut, was built here on the farm by us. Nestled in a peaceful corner of our small stud farm, you will have complete privacy with no neighbours, surrounded only by nature. Mabel offers a tranquil space to digitally detox, with views out across the fields to the historic Belvoir castle. Mabel has an outdoor bath big enough for two, perfect for stargazing. Inside a hobbit wood burning stove will keep you warm. You can order food from Barkestone’s bbq during your stay. Mabel the Shepherds hut is approximately a three minute walk from the farm entrance where you will park your car. A festival style pull trolley is provided to aid you in transporting your luggage. Mabel is situated at the far end of the stud farm down a track through a paddock/ young woodland. Suitable foot wear such as walking boots or welly’s may be needed weather depending. A torch will be handy for when is dark. You will have complete privacy as Mabel is the only Shepherds hut on site. You will only have the owl, fox and hares for company. You will have exclusive access to two outdoor spaces - a patio in front of Mabel that has a roomy outdoor bath, a fire pit, a bbq/ smoker, pallet seating and an outdoor kitchen. At the rear of Mabel there is an open grassy area with more pallet seating, a tripod bbq, Sun loungers and deckchairs. Mabel has a raised king sized bed with a comfy Simba mattress, cotton/bamboo duvet and cotton bedding. There’s a seating area with table, kitchen workspace, sink and a hobbit wood burning stove. Mabel has an en-suite shower and modern compost toilet. Mabel is off grid but does have a solar panel providing 12v power for charging small electronics and powering the lights. The hot water is solar and gas powered and the wood burner is more than adequate to heat Mabel even in the coldest of weather. The toilet is a modern compost toilet with a special seat, vent and fan that takes away any smell. On site there is a flushing toilet and shower room that you will have access to plus a charge point for any larger devices.
From initial booking to check out the hosts couldn’t have been more attentive. We needed to check in late which was no problem as key was left in a key safe and the code was provided ahead of time so we could easily get in and relax. Selection of tea and coffee bags were provided along with some marshmallows which we made good use of on our second night on the fire pit. If you’re looking for a quiet escape this is the perfect place, uninterrupted views of the countryside without even leaving the bed but if you do fancy a walk there are plenty around with some nice pub stops on route, our hosts Kelly and Anthony gave us some good recommendations as well as some much needed directions. We were lucky enough to catch the northern lights from the outdoor bath which gets surprisingly hot! Thought it was a bit quirky at first but actually really enjoyed it ,great place to lay and enjoy the stars. We only stayed two nights but could have done with longer, would highly recommend! We’ll be back
We came here for a weekend getaway and it was perfect! The cabin is located in the back so it’s secluded and you have complete privacy. The interior was cosy and comfortable! We brought some food with us to cook and the hosts had provided everything we could need to make a meal on the portable stove. Overall, it has been a lovely experience and we would definitely stay there again!
