This cosy shepherd’s hut invites you to slow down and embrace life’s simple pleasures. Set within the magical landscape of the Sussex Weald, you can listen to the sweet sounds of nature while relaxing by the outdoor fire pit. There’s also an indoor wood burning stove for snug evenings and all the essentials you could need to settle in and unwind.

It also provides easy access to hiking trails through the South Downs National Park and Ashdown Forest.
