Shepherds Rest

Buckingham 1.7 miles.

Shepherds Rest is a rustic shepherd’s hut resting in Chackmore near Buckingham, Buckinghamshire.

Offering couples a characterful countryside retreat with a woodburning stove and complimentary access to shared spa facilities.

Park the car on site and take in the rural surroundings, with a four-acre meadow and woodland forming the backdrop to this small collection of individually styled shepherd’s huts.

Make your way to the hut and pause outside, where a non-enclosed seating area encourages you to pour a drink, light the barbecue and spend the evening beneath the open sky.

Step inside the single-storey, studio-style space and settle into the seating area, warming your hands beside the small woodburning stove after a day exploring Buckinghamshire.

When you are ready for something to eat, unpack your ingredients into the fridge with icebox, boil the kettle for a hot drink or use the toaster and plug-in two-ring hob to prepare a simple breakfast or supper.

As the evening draws in, climb into the double bed and let the warmth from the stove create a restful setting for the night.

In the morning, make the short walk to the nearby shared shower room, where a walk-in shower offers an invigorating start to the day, with a basin and WC completing the facilities.

Afterwards, book a complimentary hourly session in the shared spa and sink into the hot tub, relax in the heat of the sauna or brave the cold plunge pool for a refreshing finish.

Return to your outdoor seating area for a barbecue while looking across the surrounding grounds, or visit the on-site mini farm shop to purchase logs and other essentials.

A pub is just a brief stroll away, while the nearest shop can be reached with a short drive.

After exploring Buckinghamshire’s heritage, gardens and countryside, return to Shepherds Rest for an evening beside the woodburning stove or a pre-booked session in the hot tub and sauna.
