MABEL THE SHEPHERDS HUT

Clamber over the stile and hop across the stepping stones to find Mabel patiently waiting for you. Unlock the gate to your little haven where you can tune into the sounds of Scrumpy Jack and his friends munching buttercups and daisies.

Sit on the recycled veranda bedstead and raise your binoculars before the sun sets to watch the buzzards soaring then snuggle up by the Caledonian Dumpy and immerse yourself in the stories of a Shepherds life.  Fire up the recycled washing machine drum and sizzle your sausages by the light of the silvery moon…

“WOW. We had an amazing time getting back to basics so to speak. Beautiful countryside, stunning views and the animals for company. Tim and Lucy are fantastic hosts. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves”

Kirstie

“Cosy, vintage and full of charm. Tim and Lucy offer a unique experience at their lovely home and grounds The Old Forge and were such lovely friendly people and so welcoming”

Tracey

“We made friends with the chickens, horses, Scrumpy the Donkey, dogs and cats. A real get away from it all experience. Their well thought out facilities provide everything you need for a comfortable stay and the touches like the Tuck Shop and outside kitchen are quirky and beautifully retro”

Tracey

“It was absolutely magical. The Hut was beautiful and so cosy. We had our own little private garden with gorgeous views. The neighbouring animals were so friendly and I really miss my morning cuddles with Scrumpy Jack the donkey!”
