SHEPHERDS HUT

Whether you’re soaking in a wood-fired hot tub under the stars, enjoying a leisurely paddle on the lake, or simply listening to birdsong from your private deck, this is a place to slow down, breathe deeply, and restore your sense of well-being.

Words from the Wilderness
Lexy - Stayed in September 2024
"We had a lovely stay in one of the Shepherds huts. The hut had everything we needed and the bed was unbelievably comfortable. The wild swimming/paddle boarding spot is great and the staff were brilliant, welcoming us, bringing us extra fire wood etc."
