The five shepherd’s huts at Heathy Lea have been sympathetically designed to reflect their natural surroundings, bringing the outside in with high-quality natural materials, such as ethically sourced oak. Skilfully handcrafted, they are fully insulated to keep you warm in winter and cool in summer.

Each hut has everything you need from supremely comfortable beds, a log burning stove (except Mr McGregor’s), fully equipped bathroom, a mini kitchen with chef’s basics, outdoor furniture, Wi-Fi, and a complimentary starter pack.

Our shepherd’s huts can sleep either two people, or our family hut sleeps three to four people. They come with a king sized bed or a king sized bed and bunk beds in our family hut. Bunk beds are full size and can accommodate adults if required.

Despite the remote location in the heart of the Derbyshire Dales, the A619 behind these properties, links you to nearby Bakewell, Pilsley and beyond.
