Wem 4.5 miles.
Hop To It is a bright shepherd’s hut resting near Wem in Shropshire.
Set alongside a canal with countryside views, offering a simple stay suited to couples or friends looking to step away from the everyday.
Arrive at the marina and leave your car in the designated car park before setting off on foot, following the cinder and slate path that leads towards the canal.
As the water comes into view and the meadow opens out, the setting begins to unfold, and you’ll find yourself at the far end of a small collection of huts, positioned to take in uninterrupted views across the landscape.
The green exterior blends with the surroundings, while the open frontage to the canal and meadow creates a sense of space from the moment you arrive.
Step up onto the veranda, where astro turf underfoot and camping chairs invite you to sit back and take in the canal and countryside stretching out ahead, a natural spot to pause before heading inside.
Push open the stable door and enter a bright, pleasant space, where wooden flooring runs beneath your feet, guiding you through the hut’s open layout.
To one side, the twin beds offer a place to rest after a day out exploring, while the drop-leaf dining table with stacking chairs provides a flexible spot to dine or plan the day.
The kitchenette sits neatly within the room, where you can prepare light bites or warm drinks, with the gentle hum of the oil-filled heater adding a welcome touch when the evenings grow cooler.
Here, you can move easily between preparing food, dining, and unwinding, all within this compact yet thoughtfully arranged setting.
When it’s time to freshen up, take a short stroll across the site to the shared shower facilities, where a walk-in wet room provides a practical space to begin or end your day, with additional bathrooms available if needed.
The outdoor tap and provided water container offer a simple and effective way to manage water for daily use, adding to the back-to-basics feel of the stay.
Step back outside and make the most of the setting, where the lawn and terrace open out towards the canal.
Gather around the picnic bench for a relaxed meal, before lighting the fire pit and settling in as evening draws in, with starter wood ready to help you ease into the experience and the open sky above completing the scene.
A shop can be reached with a short drive from the hut, while a pub lies a little further afield, ideal for an evening out or a change of pace.
Alternatively enjoy the delights of the on-site café, open 7 days a week.
Hop To It invites you to slow down and enjoy life by the canal.
