  • "We had a lovely stay at the shepherd's hut which was fitted and equipped to a very high standard."

    Our visit was in October so we were unable to use the outdoor facilities which, had the weather been better, would have been fantastic. Our dog loved the outdoor space which was enclosed and safe. We will definitely visit next year in summer. Our only criticism would be that an electric kettle rather than whistling kettle would be quicker and safer in such an enclosed space . I was very nervous that it would have been easy to not realize or forget that the electric hob plate was on and touch it as there was no cover or touch the hot kettle. Also some instructions as to how to use the electric fire would be good. On the whole though the accommodation was to a very high standard, spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. We particularly enjoyed having such a lovely bathroom inside the shepherd's hut. Thank you for a lovely short break.

  • "Wow, the photos do not do this place justice !"

    ! For just me and my dog, this was the perfect size, the outside living areas are amazing which gives a larger area to enjoy the property, especially if the weather is good. My dog adored it ! The hut itself is decorated to an incredibly high standard. Would definitely return

  • "We found the property very clean, first we would like to say that the bathroom and shower was very nice, we felt the property was lacking a microwave,electric kettle washing up bowl,sweeping brush and dustpan,although probably not the owners responsibility the last quarter of a mile was a VERY VERY rough track."

    Hi, thankyou very much for choosing to stay with us. I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Just a few comments on the feedback, which is always welcome. We supply a Le Creuset stove top kettle as we feel it is a great space saver and in keeping with our theme. We do also supply a Nespresso coffee machine with pods for our guests to us. Unfortunately we do not have space in the hut for a microwave but we do have a small oven. The brush and dustpan are kept inside the large outside storage container along with the parasol and outside cushions. We do very much hope to welcome you again. Property Owner

  • "Absolutely stunning the grounds and everything around it, wish the weather was better to enjoy the outdoors."

    Would be lovely with a fire pit or some form of heating under the canopy. Needs a soft brush and a dustpan and brush so we could clean the inside while on our stay and before we left.

  • "A very pleasant stay, everything spotless and obviously very new."

    Great place to walk, we got a bus to Shrewsbury and walked back along the Shropshire Way. Could do with a few things to help tidying up when we left.

The property

Shrewsbury 4 miles.

This well-presented, single-storey Shepherds Hut sits in a secluded piece of land in the village of Bayston Hill, just outside of Shrewsbury, Shropshire.

A stones throw from the front gates and you reach the Shropshire Way footpath where you can explore the beauty of the Shropshire Hills and Countryside making it an ideal place to stay.Internally, the hut is an open-plan layout and has a pull-out double bed cleverly housed behind the dining area.

The kitchen comes amply equipped for a property of this size, including a combi oven, 2-ring hob, fridge with ice box and a Nespresso coffee machine, not to mention the communal outdoor kitchen that benefits from a pizza oven and a cosy wood burning stove!

Freshen up with a nice hot shower, in the full size shower cubicle before heading out to the private decking area for your morning coffee, prepared in the coffee maker.

The local town of Shrewsbury that is just a few miles away, with great public transfer links including a local bus stop, where you can explore a range of attractions; take yourself back in time with a visit to the 11th century Shrewsbury Castle, wander the beautiful riverfront park and discover the grounds of the Quarry, or head to the Victorian Shrewsbury Prison, which was decommissioned in 2013.

Wander the streets of the ancient town, which were chosen as a stand for the 19th century London in the BBC version of Charles Dickens’ ‘Great Expectations’.

After all that exploring, there are a wealth of bars, restaurants, and pubs to refuel at.

Outdoor exploration can be found further afield, in the beautiful Shropshire Hills AONB, home to a myriad of walking and cycling trails.

Escape to Shepherds Huts at Lythwood for a tranquil stay in your own private paddock and woodland.
