Discover a unique escape into nature with a stay in this charming shepherd’s hut, enveloped by a beautifully landscaped lawn. Set near the leafy village of Stamford Bridge, this romantic bolthole is perfect for couples seeking a restorative retreat with their waggy-tailed third wheel. Pack up a picnic and inhale the fresh country air as you trek through the lush landscape of the Howardian Hills (within 13 miles). While away balmy afternoon stretched on the wooden garden recliners with chilled drinks and indulgent snacks aplenty.
Situated in Aldby Gardens, this bespoke pod boasts a characterful country interior with traditional tongue and groove panelling, checked soft fabrics, and earthy red hues. Crunch along the gravel pathway and ascend the steps to the wooden porch. Ease off muddy boots and towel off soggy pups before throwing open the patio doors and stepping inside the perfectly proportioned studio space.
Kick up weary feet as you unwind on the sofa with a film or simply gaze out at the blissful views beyond. Raid the cabinets for a selection of locally sourced nibbles then cook up dinner in the farmhouse-style kitchenette. Settle in for an intimate evening meal at the dining table or graze through a hearty breakfast spread. When night falls, climb into the woodland-themed sleeping nook with a squishy double bed and a wrought-iron frame.
Escape to the spacious Vinery, a separate property hosting a large kitchen and inviting social space just for you to use. Outdoors, bask in the heart on this tranquil retreat. Dine al fresco on the raised deck, stroll across the bridge to perch on the garden bench with a coffee or relax on the sun loungers with a book.
