The South Downs Shack

Our Shepherd’s Hut is located in the village of Small Dole on the outskirts of the South Downs National Park. Close to Brighton and the south coast, the shack is perfectly situated for walking, cycling and exploring the national park. Located in a quiet, private corner of our large garden (approx 50 meters from the house) the shack is well-equipped for a comfortable, relaxing stay. The village shop and pub, The Fox Inn, are only a two minute walk away. The space The South Downs Shack has a double bed and kitchenette with sink, fridge, kettle, toaster and microwave. The Shack has under-floor heating to keep you warm in the winter months. It also has a bathroom with hot shower, sink and cassette toilet. There is a folding table and chairs for inside dining and ample under bed storage for luggage. The Shack is set away from the main house and guests can enjoy their own private outside space, with dining table and chairs amidst our beautiful established trees. We also provide guests with a welcome basket for their stay, including fresh bread, milk, butter, jam and a selection of teas and coffee. There is also a BBQ and fire pit available. We can provide bbq utensils on request. Guest access Please note, the shack is located at the end of our garden approximately 50 meters from the house. Guests have their own private outside patio area which is shielded from view with bamboo bushes and had an outdoor table, chairs, bbq and fire pit. This is our family home but we do try not to use the main garden when we have guests staying to ensure maximum privacy. Other things to note This is a small but cosy space so we recommend bringing smaller bags rather than a big case as this can be easily tucked away under the bed to give you maximum room.
