About Friends Farm Shepherds Huts
A friendly glamping site set on a small working farm, spend your days watching the sheep, horses, pigs and chickens. You can enjoy the surrounding countryside with plenty of walks nearby or venture further afield to the picturesque Norfolk Broads and the Suffolk coast. The site is home to two luxury shepherd's huts which are both handmade by the owners, and situated in their own small paddock. Boasting stunning views across open countryside, each has an outside decking area and a gas BBQ to admire the views or enjoy a spot of alfresco dining. Each hut features bespoke kitchens with a dishwasher, microwave oven, hob, kettle, toaster, and fridge. The bed folds up into the wall, just pull it down when you're ready to sleep. When the bed is up, the gate leg table can be pulled up with seating too! All bedding, linen and towels are included. There is also a TV, ensuite shower and toilet, along with a wood burner, electric heating and double-glazing to keep you cosy in the winter months with firewood provided. Receive a warm welcome from owners Keith and Val, as well as a complimentary welcome pack containing home-produced eggs and bacon. Dogs are welcome in both huts, but please keep them on leads when outside of the paddock as the site is located on a working farm.
Friends Farm Shepherds Huts is open all year round in 2024 and 2025.
Each hut includes its own toilet and shower with mains water and electricity. There is a small farm shop (open Thursday to Saturday) selling local produce, along with a cafe serving drinks, cakes and light bites.
The Black Swan is the nearest pub and is just a five minute drive away. Harleston is a ten minute drive away and here you can find a Co-op for essentials and a couple of restaurants.

Really lovely stay. The hut is clean and the secure garden was perfect for me and my dog to relax during the day. There are lots of lovely pubs and walks a short drive away (and walks from the site directly). Lovely bacon and eggs on arrival but the tea shop on site is now closed so definitely bring food/ drinks with you. Would definitely come back!
