Beautiful area

Guests love this home’s scenic location.
We are in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in 300 acres of organic woodland and meadows, full of wild flowers, deer, birds, and we are one of the few places to hear nightingales in May. The Hut is very secluded in private sheltered glade, five minutes easy walk from habitation, on a gentle south facing slope.There is a picnic table and fire pit/BBQ plus two chairs which recline, with table on a small stone patio. Perfect for a quiet get away surrounded by nature at any time of the year.

The space
The Sheep Fold can offer you total peace and quiet, away from the hustle and bustle of modern life, but with every mod con to make your stay as comfortable as possible ( mains water, hot showers, flushing loo). Wellington Boots are a must (we are in England after all!). If you choose to stay on the property, you can fill your time with walks in the woods and fields, reading, playing board games, cards etc. If you choose to explore the area there are a multitude of places to visit and things to see. Although there is no Wifi there is a mobile phone signal. We provide linen, towels, shampoo etc, coffee, tea, sugar, salt and pepper. Please bring slippers to wear inside.

Guest access
You will safely park your car off road at the house, and then have a five minute easy walk to The Sheep Fold across a field. Luggage can be carried by wheelbarrow.

Other things to note
This is England, so if it is wet, it could be very wet. Adversely, if it is dry, it can be very hot (30+ degs).
