Cosy Shepherd's Hut with Secret Garden in rural Herefordshire
Ynys Hut is a cosy hand-built Shepherd's Hut set in a beautiful secret garden.
A warm and peaceful space all year round. In the chillier months, our wood burner will keep you nice and toasty.
The hut has lots of rustic charm, with a homely open-plan interior complete with full-sized double bed, kitchenette and wood burner for those colder nights.
Outside there is a shower room, toilet, kitchen area and patio which includes a table, chairs, BBQ firepit and swinging basket chair.
*Please note - we do NOT provide any bath/hand/tea towels, so guests will need to bring their own. We DO provide bed sheets, soap, toilet paper, and pillows.*
Our location is great for guests who want to explore the Herefordshire countryside, with an abundance of walks right from your (stable) door.
Ynys Hut (pronounced en-iss) is situated in a small village called Orcop in Herefordshire, England.
The hut is accessed through a Secret Garden, which provides complete privacy for your stay.
Ynys Hut includes:
1 full-sized double bed.
All bed linen (excluding towels).
Blankets.
Under-bed storage (for your bags and suitcases).
Kitchen area with sink, kettle and toaster.
Tea, coffee and sugar sachets.
Plates, mugs, wine glasses and cutlery for 2 people.
Breakfast bar.
2 chairs.
Wood burner (a generous amount of wood will be provided for your stay).
Wifi.
TV.
Board games.
Dimmable lights.
Plug sockets with USB.
Stable door.
Secret Garden with patio area for dining, sunbathing and chilling out.
BBQ firepit.
Swinging basket chair.
Outside kitchen/bar with mini fridge.
Mini electric hob.
Saucepan and utensils.
Outside wash room with electric shower, wash basin and flushing WC.
We also provide basic essentials such as loo paper, hand towels, hand soap and sanitiser.
Parking for one car at a designated car space.
Ynys Hut was hand-built by your host, Joe.
IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE:
Strictly no pets allowed.
The double bed in the Shepherd's Hut is accessed by a small ladder, which may be unsuitable for less agile guests. We do provide a step, which you can use as an alternative.
Guests have access to a private Secret Garden in which the hut is situated.
Please note there are steps up into the hut.
Guests will need to bring their own bath/hand/tea towels.
A TV is provided but can only be used to watched DVDs. We provide a few movies but guests may want to bring some of their own.
Orcop is a village in the county of Herefordshire, England.
We have a local pub which is just half a mile away from Ynys Hut called The Fountain Inn. Here you can treat yourself to an ice-cold beer and some pub grub after a long day of adventuring. Please check with them directly for current opening times - 01981 540304.
We also have the Garway Moon Inn which is 3.5 miles away - 01600 750270.
Next to The Fountain Inn you will find Orcop's very own library in the form of an old red phone box. It is now full of books for people to share. Here you will also find the local bus stop.
There are lots of people in the village who sell fresh eggs, but our favourite supplier is Burhope Farm, which is 2 miles away. You'll very often get eggs with double yolks, a real treat!
The closest shop to Ynys Hut is the Carrot & Wine Store, which is just over 2 miles away in a neighbouring village called Wormelow.
There is enough room in the Secret Garden for a small tent to be pitched up. This would allow for an extra 2 guests. This must be agreed prior to booking, so please get in touch for details.
