  • "A lively hut and a beautiful location."

    Enough shade to cope with extreme heat. Very friendly and helpful owners and their dog. Lots of the information. Two things could be improved: - the mattress needs to be renewed - the hut could be decluttered to created more space for visitors stuff. We loved our stay, Paul & Winnie

  • "The Shepherds Hut is beautiful inside and outside, set in gorgeous countryside views in a peaceful pretty village."

    The cleanliness and facilities are outstanding, also the comfort and choice of places to sit and relax. The Hosts are friendly making us feel at home, and the welcome goodies are the best we have ever found including fresh farm eggs from the chickens roaming around the garden. A perfect place to unwind and relax in a beautiful place with a lovely atmosphere. Thank you very much for our memorable stay.

    Philip and Selina were very friendly and helpful and everything was even better than expected. The hut was beautiful, cosy, warm, and peaceful. Everything we were looking for. We went for lots of lovely (rainy) walks in the area as well as plenty of reading and games. We couldn't have asked for more. If you haven't already. Book. You won't regret it.

  • "Selina and Philip were friendly and welcoming and hosts."

    The Shepherd’s Hut had everything I needed, and more - attention to detail was brilliant and the country barn feel to it was perfectly executed. Storage solutions were impressive, including a hanging cupboard and large drawers for clothing. Beautiful views and a calming environment, this was the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle for a few days in.

About the location

ALRESFORD

Winchester 7.6 miles, Basingstoke 15 miles, Guildford 30 miles

The Georgian market town of Alresford is made up of the village of Old Alresford mentioned in the Doomsday Book and the main town of New Alresford and in the 1860’s was connected to London by a railway line that was used to transport Watercress that the town was widely famous for producing. The line became known as the “Watercress Line” and still runs between Alresford to Alton through the picture perfect Hampshire countryside. Now this quiet and pretty town is the perfect place for a gentle stroll, where the colour-washed Georgian houses, independent and specialist shops are mixed with characterful pubs, modern eateries and traditional tea rooms. Enjoy the Riverside Walk where you will find the Fulling Mill built in the 13th century or visit the Old Alresford Pond that is home to an abundance of wildlife including otters and wildfowl. To fully enjoy the history of the town, take the Millennium Trail a series of footpaths that weave and interlink around the town.
