The Shepherd's Hut
Sleeps 1-2 people

The Orchard Wash House and Orchard Kitchen can be seen across the meadow a short walk away.
The hut comes with a double bedstead, lighting, mirror, and table at the end of the bed. Rugs, and pillows create a snug feel to the hut.

Bedding and bath towels are provided for as well as extra blankets should you need them. The little log burner keeps this nice and snug in the Spring and Autumn months.
