About this property
A cosy shepherd’s hut in scenic surroundings, this charming hideaway is perfect for that romantic retreat you have been mulling over. Sleeping just two guests, the one-bedroom, dog-friendly holiday home nestles on a site at South Leverton, 6 miles from Retford. Pull on your walking boots or hop on your bike and venture straight out to explore your surroundings. Take your binoculars and visit the Idle Valley Nature Reserve, 7 miles away, to look out for beavers and birds. Head 9.5 miles to Torksey Lock to picnic by the water and stroll alongside the River Trent. Play a round or two on the green at Lincoln Golf Club, 10.5 miles away. Plan a trip to Lincoln, 16.5 miles away, to wander its colourful shopping areas, dine out and visit the famous cathedral and medieval castle. Sherwood Pines Forest Park, with its leafy trails and cycle hire, is 20.5 miles away.
Stroll from the parking area past the piglets to find your characterful, green retreat. Take four steps up to open the door and step inside. Compact yet containing everything you will need to keep you comfortable throughout your stay, the accommodation here is bright and airy, with a restful ambience. Unpack any provisions you have bought in the kitchen area, which has a country cottage style. Make a cup of tea and sit inside or carry it out into the sunshine of the seating area. Light the wood burner to add a welcome warmth to the space on chilly days or keep the stable door open in the summer months for a cool breeze and to bring the views right inside. As night falls, tuck into the comfortable double bed and treat yourself to a perfect night’s sleep. You have a private shower room and WC, within the hideaway.
The opportunities for outdoor living here are what will really appeal to guests wishing to be at one with nature. Relax in the egg chair with a good book, cook outside on the BBQ and bask beside the crackling firepit as the sun goes down. Solar lights will come on as dusk falls, making this the perfect time to enjoy the hot tub. The shepherd’s hut benefits from private, off-road parking for one car.
