About New Hanson Shepherd's Huts
Set on a hill sheep farm by the edge of a woodland, surrounded by nature, these two traditional shepherd's huts, Lily and Fern, offer a romantic, rustic and relaxing way to holiday. You'll find it easy to relax in the cosy huts for two, each equipped with a double bed along with fresh linen, comfy mattresses, a wood-burning stove and battery-operated lighting. It's the ideal escape for couples or singles who want to unwind in a rural hideaway and as a base to explore the surrounding area. A gas camping stove and BBQ are supplied for simple meals, or guests can order a breakfast hamper delivered to their door. There are several pubs within the surrounding villages too. For those guests who wish to bring their four-legged friend, the Lily shepherd's hut is dog friendly - so they too can enjoy the delights of the Peak District at no extra cost!
