About this property
Aspen Leaves - Tranquil Shepherds Hut- Views of The South Downs National Park
Traditional Sussex-style shepherd's hut, with everything you'll need for a secluded stay. Newly renovated, and situated in a beautiful glade surrounded by mature oak trees, view of The South Downs, and perfect for star gazing.
The space
It's a traditional shepherds hut, which means it has what you need for a short stay, cleverly designed in one little carriage.
You approach up 2-3 wooden stepson upon entering, you'll see the beautiful little kitchen made by our wonderful carpenter friend Adam. To your left is the king bed with the MOST comfortable mattress and soft linen. On the right are the amenities... All in all it's everything you'll need!
We've also given you a small outside space, quietly secluded behind a hazel screen with a fire pit and two lovely rocking chairs. On a clear night you get a beautiful view of the nights sky so make the most of stargazing while here!
Guest access
Aspen Leaves has its own Glade and free parking on site during the summer, and private garden over looking The Downs in the Winter. There is a 20 second walk from parking to the front door.
