Cow Parsley Shepherd's Hut
Accommodating up to four guests, Cow Parsley makes clever use of space with one 4'6" double bed with a full size single bunk bed above, and seating which converts to another single bed (3’ x 6’) when required. Creative storage solutions ensure that every area is well utilised.
The hut features a small galley kitchen area with small larder, an electric two ring hob, a microwave combination oven, under-counter fridge, toaster, kettle, and a DAB radio.
There is also a breakfast bar dining space for up to four guests. Just off the kitchen is a small bathroom with electric shower, basin and WC.
For the cooler months the hut is super-insulated and has electric tubular heating and an electric ‘real flame effect’ stove.
Guests can also hire Colin, a cutesy retro caravan (subject to availability) where the younger members of the family can have their own little mini adventure - a fun den for day use but set-up for sleeping capacity too!
Cow Parsley sits in a paddock alongside three further shepherd's huts, Foxglove, Teasel and Berrington Beach Hut, each sleeping up to four guests which are ideal for guests who wish to holiday together. Foxglove is also adapted for guests who are mobility impaired.
