Beautiful area

Stay in a luxury shepherds hut in the stunning Surrey Hills, only an hour from London. A perfect couples escape with a beautiful private hot tub under the trees and wellness area with sauna/cold plunge, bookable as an extra. We are located near Box Hill, you can enjoy countryside walks, spectacular views and visit some lovely local gastropubs. We are dog friendly for an extra fee. We supply a variety of grazing platters too. The perfect stay for birthdays, anniversaries and special nights away!

The space
Little Lodge is kitted out like a small boutique hotel room. With a king size bed and an Emma tempur mattress you are guaranteed a good nights sleep!

Our fully equipped kitchen has a Nespresso coffee machine, microwave, 2 ring ceramic hob, large butlers sink and a small fridge with ice box. We provide basic condiments, oil, herbs, spices, tea, coffee, sugar, milk sachets and coffee pods plus some extra goodies for you to enjoy!

The bathroom has a good size electric shower, hand basin, complimentary vegan, uk made toiletries, his and hers bath robes and because the lodges are off grid and in the woods we have a top of the range eco friendly waterless WC.

You also have a gorgeous private wood fired hot tub in the garden for you to enjoy. Our hot tub is an authentic outdoor bathing experience, no plastic or electric in sight. Just enjoy the smell of the lovely wood burner and the warmth of the water as you sit amongst the trees and under the stars.

We will get the hot tub fire started for you and it will be ready to use from check in. We will leave plenty of firelighters, kindling and logs for you to use in the wood burner. Unlike a lot of other huts, we don’t charge extra for logs or for using the hot tub!

We also have a fire-pit which you can use with a grill provided as a bbq, but please do bring your own charcoal.

Outside is a lovely woodland garden and a seating area with two wooden lounge chairs and footstools for chilling out by the firepit. We have a pretty dining table on the deck and we even have a gorgeous couples swing seat in a private pergola underneath the trees!

New for 2026: we have a beautiful wellness area behind the hut that includes a wood fired barrel sauna, cold plunge pool and a relaxing seating area. You can book a 2 hour session (4-6, 6-8, 8-10pm) and enjoy the area as a private add on experience for just £20. Hot and cold therapy is known to have great health, skin and mind benefits and makes for a luxury addition to your stay!

Guest access
Secret Lodge is hidden away in a stunning woodland area surrounded by beautiful historic trees. It is safely fenced for dogs and completely private with views of woodland and looking over neighbouring fields.

It is situated on a plot of land adjacent to our property and is beautifully private and hidden away just for our guests to enjoy.

Behind Secret Lodge is Little Lodge, our original shepherds hut which is garden facing and has a grass paddock. The two huts face completely opposite directions, are completely private from each other and do not overlook each other in any way.

Both huts are available to book together if you'd like to stay with friends!

Please note that occasional noise from vehicles and animals may be heard from the neighbours stable yard.

You can park in a dedicated parking area and access to Secret Lodge is down a short woodland path.
