Perfectly sized for a couple’s getaway, this charming shepherd hut has everything you need for a romantic getaway in the Peak District National Park. The accommodation is set on 38 acres of ground and is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts with abundant walking trails and nature reserves nearby. During your stay, you can also enjoy a private garden with additional sheltered seating in the summerhouse.

Pop your stuff in the handy wheel barrow, head through the gate and follow the lit concrete path and you will see your beautiful shepherds hut nestled on the top of the hill. Take off your boots and head up a few steps into the hut which welcomes you with open arms. The stable door lets the light and fresh air flood into the hut and helps you enjoy the surrounding views. There is a kitchen area with everything you need to rustle up a hearty breakfast. The comfy double bed benefits from storage underneath to keep your bags out of the way. There is a drop leaf table and chairs to come together and enjoy a meal. The hut is well heated at all times by an electric radiator, making the hut lovely and toasty, even on chillier days. The shower room, although snug presents everything you need. The little touches from the lights on a dimmer switch, to the beautiful fabrics that decorate the hut come together to provide a really special escape. This luxurious shepherd's hut offers full electricity and lighting, the ultimate glamping experience.

Outside there is a summer house with comfy seating, think of this as an additional room to your outdoor living, the perfect place to watch the sun set. There is a BBQ with fire pit to really enjoy those summer evenings in the country. Or take a very short walk and BBQ near the River Dame on the owners private land.  There is also a green storage cabinet at the side of the hut which would fit one bike. There is the option to book additional accommodation on the same site if required.

We highly recommend Nancys Shepherds Hut. What an absolute GEM! We couldnt have wished to be anywhere more perfect for a few days getaway and to welcome in the New Year! The welcome goodies were a wonderful surprise - chocolates, juicy dates, a couple of fresh eggs, a cheeky wee tipple each and a pair of crackers! So, so kind and thoughtful. We didRead morent have any particular plans for what we would do whilst here, but we certainly have had the best time we could have imagined. Hide

The property was exactly what we needed, time away from the city and with no wi-fi and signal. Angela and Ian were lovely hosts, the treats on entry were a pleasant surprise and the hut was absolutely perfect for myself and my partner, just wish the weather was slightly better on the last day!!!

What a wonderful setting for a romantic get away. Nancys was perfectly equipped for a beautiful weekend, relaxing in the heat, whilst country life carries on around you. Nancy is set up above the old farm house in its own fenced area looking over the Peaks. The hut is obviously small however my partner is 6ft4inches and he had no problem with ceiliRead moreng height or the size of bed. We are looking forward to going back when cooler and walking the trails on your doorstep. Hide

We really enjoyed staying here, It's a really beautiful setting! The hut is cozy and has everything you need. The shower and toilet felt like a real luxury for such a small space, and we enjoyed being out of the way of the main farm.

I already miss our time here. The hut is comfortable, warm and brilliantly equipped. The views are incredible and we enjoyed having our morning coffee in the summer house. The nearby pub is only a 5 min walk away and we brought a torch to help navigate the dark which was easy to do. It was magical and we cannot wait to return. Thank you!

Lovely hut, amazing location with great views and a smashing pub within 5 minutes walk. Great base for walking, we did the Wincle-Gradback walk via hanging stone which was great (about 8 miles). Will definitely be returning!
