Part of the magic of staying here is the journey itself.
Your shepherd's hut is tucked away within the nature reserve and reached by a short woodland walk.
Follow the winding path through the trees, listen to the birdsong, breathe in the fresh air, and enjoy leaving the everyday world behind for a while.
The route includes an inclined woodland path, so we recommend sensible footwear, especially in wetter weather.
For evening arrivals, the walk becomes part of the adventure, with lanterns and torches provided to help guide the way.
To make things easier, you'll also find a pull-along trolley available for luggage and supplies.
