Collie Shepherd Huts

Set in a quiet location on a working but peaceful farm, both shepherd huts have been carefully positioned so that guests can enjoy the utmost privacy and glorious evening sunsets … best viewed from the hot tub.

Step up and into both huts and you’ll find welcoming spaces decorated in neutral colours with cushions and throws for comfort and a log burner for extra cosiness.

The main difference between Collie and Shetland View is the sleeping arrangements. Collie has its very own sleeping nook where you can cuddle up on the king size bed day and night … or watch the smart TV. In comparison, Shetland View’s comfy king size bed is cleverly hidden away in the wall and pulls down on to the dining table come the evening.

Both huts have ample space to pop your four-legged friend’s bed, but Shetland View has underfloor heating which tends to go down a storm with pampered pooches who love a touch of extra warmth beneath their paws.

The shower rooms are tucked in the corner of the shepherd huts. Compact but cleverly designed, there’s space to store your bits and bobs as well as a heated rail to keep towels warm and fluffy.

When it comes to cooking, both shepherd huts have a charming kitchen area with a double hob, a fridge, a kettle, and a toaster. Collie has a microwave whereas Shetland View comes complete with a combi oven. However, we recommend rustling up something delicious on the fire pit to really make the most of the lovely outdoor space. Firewood and firelighters will be waiting for you when you arrive.

There’s an abundance of outdoor space at Collie Shepherd Huts. There’s a table and chairs for al fresco dining, or enjoying a glass of wine while at marvelling at the sunset. Undoubtably, the pièce de resistance is the heavenly wood fired hot tub. It’s the perfect place for a spot of relaxed stargazing. You’ll woof it!

Each shepherd hut welcomes one small dog for a small fee of £30 per stay – pooches stay for free on subsequent visits, though. A second dog is potentially possible if agreed in advance with the owners.

Bowls, a towel and treats are provided for four-legged friends, as well as poop bags.

While the huts have their own private gardens, they’re not fully enclosed. But as long as your pooch has a good recall, they’ll love the opportunity to explore.

Keep an eye out for the two farm dogs. You are likely to meet Hazel the black Labrador and Cookie the Jack Russell Terrier. Both are really friendly.

From £135 per night.

Parking

There are allocated parking spaces close to each shepherd hut.

Dogs are welcome throughout the huts but not on the furniture or bed.

You can let your pooch explore the outdoor area off their leads but please be mindful that the shepherd huts are located on a working farm, so a good recall is essential.

There are horses grazing in the paddock below the huts – please don’t feed them.
