Well Furlong Shepherds Retreat

Made from two large shepherds huts combined to form an L shape, this stylish hideaway offers a lot more space and comfort than you’d initially expect. With one super king bed that can also be made up as a twin, and a hidden room with a cosy double bunk bed in, it’s ideal for a couple, a group of up to four friends, or a family made up of two adults and four small children (who don’t mind sharing a bunk).

The retreat is well equipped with a large open plan kitchen with a choice of breakfast bar and dining table to sit at. The sitting room area has two sofas for you to sink into and a Hobbit stove for colder evenings. With great WiFi and a smart TV, if the glorious outside space doesn’t tempt you to spend your evenings al fresco, you can snuggle up in front of a film or your favourite show.

Outside, there’s a large south facing decked area with a sunken jacuzzi, sun loungers, a table and chairs, and a large parasol to recline (and snooze) under on sunny afternoons. The two sets of wide steps lead you down to a more formal garden area with a fire pit, so bring marshmallows!

One four-legged friend is invited to join you at Well Furlong Cottage – two with prior agreement from the owners – completely free of charge.

While there might not be an enclosed garden for your pup to explore, there are 90 acres of private grounds to sniff around. Perhaps bring a tether for canine companions that are at risk of bolting.

Dog beds, bowls, towels and leads can be loaned for the duration of your stay.

From £200 per night with no additional charges for accompanying dogs.
