A two person secluded Shepherds Hut nestled amongst the trees situated in a wildflower meadow on a farm for Wildlife. Staying toasty in the winter with wool insulation and log burner and cool in the summer under the canopy this hut is the perfect retreat to the country and to reconnect with nature and yourself. The space When staying in the hut you can expect views overlooking a few of our wildflower meadows and the ancient woodlands. You have all you could need with a shower room with a flushing loo and sink, kitchen with hob a under counter fridge and electricity. Accessing the comfortable double bed is simple, all you need to do is collapse the breakfast table and pull down the leather strap! This hut is a true show of craftsmanship with attention to the smallest of details. It is well insulated, so you stay very warm in the winter with the log burner and the wool insulation and in the summer you can stay cool with the assistance of the trees giving you shelter under the green canopy. Coffee and tea are provided in the hut. We have an BBQ area with fuel and a fire pit with logs for you to toast marshmallows over. In summer you can have use of heated swimming pool set in an idyllic English garden surrounded by beautiful roses. This is seasonal and by arrangement, with Jan.

Our Farm: Our farm is run for wildlife and for the last 25 years Jan and Mike have worked hard on cultivating a nature rich, diverse landscape. Moat Farm is bursting with rare and endangered species of plants, butterflies, birds and bees and mammals. Everything we do on our farm is for the protection and preservation of the future for these species and our planet. We have Turtle doves, 23 Nightingale territories, several pairs of breeding barn owl that can often be seen hunting at dusk, tawny owl, kestrels, warblers and finches. We have recently found not only wild honey bees and bumble bees but also rare Long-horned bees foraging in our field-edge brambles. Grass snakes and slow worms are regularly seen, along with great crested newt and toads in the early spring. We have noted 26 species of butterfly around the farm and its woodlands to date. Marbled White are numerous alongside Ringlet, Meadow Browns, Small Coppers, Blues and Skippers. Grizzled Skippers were seen regularly until the last two summers giving rise to concern. Purple Hairstreak can be found in the tops of the oak trees. Other woodland butterflies include Silver Washed Fritillary and White Admiral. Dormice and Harvest Mice are regularly encountered. We hope that when you stay with us, you will leave feeling refreshed and more connected to nature. We have two bell tents for staying in on the farm along with a beautiful Shepherd Hut.
