Sip drinks on the elevated decked area which sits above a stream and treat your pup to titbits from the sizzling BBQ.

Sitting amid woodland and countryside, tails will wag as soon as you park and wander down to the door. The open-plan living lends itself to couples and is great for keeping each other company whilst one of you cooks up a feast in the small kitchen area. The lovely, natural-looking, wooden interior is the perfect place to relax, complete with a wood burner. After plating up either inside or out, take a seat on the sofa or continue your night alfresco and watch your dog enjoy the extended lawn. Drift off to sleep on the welcoming double bed which has an en-suite shower room and lovely views. There is shared access to a laundry room and storage for outdoor equipment.

A 5.5-mile trip will take you to Ironbridge where a host of places to eat, drink and explore await.

Lovely peaceful location, but not isolated as only 5 minutes walk from the farm and other cottages, and 15 mins drive from Shrewsbury and Ironbridges many attractions.

Our hut was a long way from the car park and took us 45 mins loading the car up. A trolley would be beneficial. Hut was in peaceful surroundings and very warm and comfortable. Internet was hit and miss. Nice walks for our dog in adjoining fields. A lovely relaxing stay.

We had such a lovely stay at this shepherd's hut which was so very warm and welcoming and in a perfect location on the farm,but away from it all in the peace and quiet. Our host had been exceptionally kind by warming up the hut with the help of the woodburning stove and I was so very grateful because it was a cold winter's day and we had had a longRead more and tiring journey. The bed was very comfortable and although the hut was small, it had all the amenities you could wish for and was good value too. Hide

The hut was lovely, but not easily accessible if someone has mobility issues. We were lucky to have good weather and were able to sit outside, which increased the space considerably. Cooking equipment is adequate but basic. We were visited daily by the farm dogs, which we found lovely. We have already talked about booking again for another break ThRead moreank you Hide
