An enchanting Shepherds Hut designed for slow, romantic countryside escapes, complete with your very own wood-fired Japanese Ofuro hot tub. More than just a place to stay, it’s a space to pause, reconnect, and indulge in life’s simplest pleasures. From the warmth of the hot tub to the soft glow of the chiminea and the stillness of the surrounding fields, every moment here feels quietly magical. Tucked away on the outskirts of the peaceful village of Great Ellingham with gastro village pub 10 minutes’ walk, you’ll feel wonderfully secluded, yet perfectly placed to explore. Discover charming market towns, visit the seaside at Cromer with its iconic pier, spend a day in Norwich for theatre and shopping, or explore the scenic waterways of the Norfolk Broads. Countryside walks and cycling routes begin right from your doorstep.
Surrounded by open fields and far-reaching views, the Shepherds Hut offers a true sense of escape—where time slows and the outside world fades away. At the heart of it all is the private Japanese Ofuro wood-fired hot tub. Sink into its soothing warmth as the sky melts from gold to twilight, with birdsong drifting through the day and owls calling softly at night. Whether under sunset hues or a canopy of stars, it’s an unforgettable, intimate experience. The private decking area looks out across rolling farmland, inviting you to linger a little longer. Start your mornings with coffee, or unwind by the chiminea, firelight flickering gently around you, and alfresco dining enjoying the electric BBQ. Inside, the Shepherds Hut is just as inviting. With underfloor heating and thoughtful insulation, this is a retreat to enjoy all year-round, featuring a sumptuous king-size bed, a well-equipped kitchenette, and a sleek en-suite with a walk-in power shower – whilst enjoying music played from the Sonos speaker with Alexa function.
