Foxglove Shepherd's Hut
With one king size bed (5’ x 6’ 3”) and full size single bunk beds (3’ x 6’ 3”), Foxglove can accommodate up to four guests. To maximise space, bunk beds cleverly convert to bench seating for day time use.
The hut features a small galley kitchen area with an electric two ring hob, a microwave combination oven, under-counter fridge, toaster and kettle, and a DAB radio. There is an extendable dining table for up to four guests.
A large raised deck with ramp access has been designed to support the needs of mobility impaired guests, and just off the kitchen is a wet room with electric shower, basin and WC.
For the cooler months the hut is super-insulated, and has electric tubular heating.
Foxglove sits alongside three further huts, Cow Parsley, Teasel and Berrington Beach Hut, each sleeping up to four guests which are ideal for larger parties who wish to holiday together.
