About this property

Sheldon Shepherd's Hut - Cosy Rural Retreat in the Peak District National Park

Reconnect with nature in the heart of the Peak District National Park, with a stay in this unique rural retreat.

This brand new, self contained accommodation, includes it's own bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, log burning stove and wonderful far reaching views across the Peak District countryside.

Sheldon Shepherd's Hut provides a comfortable base, whether you’re looking to enjoy some fresh air and long country walks, conquer the highest peaks or simply relax and unwind in a friendly village pub.

As you enter the shepherd's hut via the traditional wooden steps and stable door, you will find a comfortable, cosy, self contained space, with far reaching views over the Peak District countryside.

The beautifully fitted kitchen area includes two counter top electric hobs, a traditional Belfast sink, small fridge and wooden worktops. There is also a kettle, good quality cutlery and kitchenware, cleaning materials and a variety of extras such as tea, coffee etc. A slow cooker is also provided for use during your stay and can be found underneath the bed.

Enjoy your drinks and meals on the comfortable built in seating and sturdy wooden table, which has the option to fold away and provide additional space when not in use.

The comfortable king size bed is adorned with a soft cosy duvet and white, quality, cotton bed linen. Under bed storage and two drawers allow you to store items and keep the space clutter free.

The small but perfectly formed bathroom provides additional luxury with a good quality walk in electric shower, wooden vanity unit with bowl sink and fully plumbed toilet. An electric heated towel rail allows you to dry towels and keep the space warm. Two bath-sheets and two hand towels are provided for use during your stay.

A log burning stove provides warmth and character during the colder, winter months. We provide logs and fire lighting equipment from September to May to get you started and have additional supplies for sale, if required.

The area outside Sheldon Shepherd's Hut Cottage provides a private, quiet spot to unwind with a glass of wine, whilst watching our miniature Shetland ponies grazing and enjoying wonderful views across the peaceful, unspoilt countryside. A fire pit is available from May to October, along with a selection of logs and fire lighting equipment to get you started. Additional supplies can be purchased if required.

Or take a stroll down to the local village pub and enjoy a selection of real ales and a game of pool.

With off-road parking and only a short drive away from the bustling market town of Bakewell and regal spa town of Buxton, Sheldon Shepherd's Hut is an ideal location for discovering the delights of the Peak District.

6 free range eggs and a pint of milk await your arrival and we look forward to welcoming you soon!
