Escape with your special someone to this gorgeous shepherd’s hut set on a tranquil working farm in the heart of the Derbyshire countryside. Offering sweeping views of Deepdale, it sleeps two people in one bedroom and welcomes one canine companion. It’s the dream hideaway for couples who are craving serenity, connection, and a touch of rural romance. During the day, explore the elegant spa town of Buxton with your pup, where scenic walks, historic architecture, and dog-friendly cafes await. In the evening, come home to snuggle up by the hut’s fire pit, while your pup snoozes contentedly at your feet.

Park in your private parking spot and step into this boho-chic shepherd’s hut, where you’ll be welcomed by a charming open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining area. Slip onto the sofa and make yourself at home before heading to the country-style kitchen area to rustle up some dinner for your special someone. Enjoy an intimate dinner at the breakfast bar, which is perfectly positioned by the window, or step outside and dine alfresco on the private decked area. After dinner, soak up the stunning country views and then head to the lounge area to catch up on your favourite TV shows. At the end of the day, there’s a thoughtfully designed double bedroom that boasts an uninterrupted view across the rolling Derbyshire hills from its large windows. A sleek shower room completes the layout.

Spend a lovely day strolling at the Pavilion Gardens (5 miles), where pups on leads are welcome to explore its 23 pretty acres of landscaped parkland. Or head to the Monsal Trail (7.5 miles) – a traffic-free route along a former railway line that’s perfect for scenic walks with your canine companion.

I had a fabulous stay in the Hideaway, it was comfortable, and is very private, which I loved, and had everything that you needed. There are loads of things to see within a 30 minute drive, and you have the Monsal Trail right on the doorstep.

Although the property was not appropriate for our circumstances it is an excellent get away from it all for others who are younger and fitter. The property has been made and furbished to a high standard. The property owner was most helpful when we needed assistance. The views from the property and the area are amazing.

Absolute little gem, stunning location just a short walk onto the Monsal Trail. The Shepherds hut has been built to a high standard with all the home comforts you need for a cosy weekend away. Would definitely recommend as a MUST visit. 5 stars from us!!
