Designed and built by the renown Ashwood Shepherd Hut company the hut is a paradigm of luxury with an oak-clad exterior, double glazing, super-insulated walls underfloor heating and Log burner keeping the space lovely and warm.

The 26ft by 9ft interior contains ample space for a couple or travelling pair. The creatively designed interior is realized through the natural hessian covered walls, oak floors and timber cladding which give a luxurious finish and experience.

The hut comes fully equipped with a hand-crafted kitchen, fridge, hob, microwave and a luxury en-suite shower room.

Snuggle up on a king size bed with Egyptian cotton sheets and goose down duvets or curl up in front of the TV on the L shaped seating area with the flames of the log burner flickering away in the background.

For an indulgent treat run yourself a hot bath and relax in the glorious handmade English roll top, and revel in the views of the horse fields behind the hut.

Outside, make use of your own barbecue facilities, as well as two bespoke wooden chairs.

There is ample parking space next to the property.

Visit the Crown Inn at Hallow for a lovely country pub or make your way to Worcester city centre, only 6 miles away, to experience the city lights with a multitude of bars and restaurants to choose from.

The Severn Valley Steam Railway and West Midlands Safari Park are only a few miles away in a lovely little town called Bewdley which is well worth a visit.

Whitely Court English Heritage site is just 2 miles away and can be seen from the site, while Ockeridge Fishing lakes are right next door.

For the outdoor enthusiasts, we recommend a walk through the local orchards, suppliers of Bulmer's Cider, or Astley Vineyards, which has a great wine tasting experience. For gin lovers, we recommend a visit to Chase distillery in nearby Herefordshire.

The nearby Malvern Hills are a magnificent natural wonder and are extremely popular with walkers and hikers, while the Martley hillside is another popular beauty spot in the vicinity.

The ancient Ockeridge Woods are only a few hundred yards away while the neighbouring Monk Wood makes another great walk and a chance to see a huge variety of wildlife in the area, including plenty of native butterflies in the designated butterfly sanctuary.

Monk Jack Deer are common and can be seen darting through the woods at night, while the surrounding fields are home to number sheep and cattle. At night you are likely to hear the hypnotic hoot of owls hunting in the darkness and plenty of bats swooping by, while the sites natural plateau is great for star gazing.
