Situated in Wincle in the South West Peak District ideally located for exploring the Peak District National Park, Leek, Buxton and Macclesfield. Set in 38 acres of the owners’ grounds, this retreat enjoys a peaceful location with an abundance of walks on its doorstep. The small hamlet of Wincle is home to a local pub serving locally sourced dishes. For those who are looking for a bit of excitement Alton Towers, arguably the best theme park in the country, is just 15 miles away. For relaxing fun from the doorstep explore the many public paths that meander around the stunning countryside and enjoy the peace and tranquillity that surrounds you here. You can also take a tour of a traditional brewery situated just a short walk down the road.

Pop your stuff in the handy wheel barrow, head through the gate and follow the lit concrete path and you will see your beautiful shepherds hut nestled on the top of the hill. Take off your boots and head up a few steps into the hut which welcomes you with open arms. The stable door lets the light and fresh air flood into the hut and helps you enjoy the surrounding views. There is a kitchen area with two ring induction hob, kettle, slow cooker, small portable grill, fridge and microwave everything you need to rustle up a hearty breakfast. The comfy double bed benefits from storage underneath to keep your bags out of the way. There is a drop leaf table and chairs to come together round and enjoy a meal. The hut is well heated at all times by an electric radiator, making the hut lovely and toasty, even on chillier days. The shower room, although snug presents everything you need from an enclosed shower, sink and WC. The little touches from the lights on a dimmer switch, to the beautiful fabrics that decorate the hut come together to provide a really special escape. This luxurious shepherd's hut offers full electricity and lighting, the ultimate glamping experience.

Outside there is a summer house with comfy seating, think of this as an additional room to your outdoor living, the perfect place to watch the sun set. There is a BBQ with fire pit to really enjoy those summer evenings in the country.

I already miss our time here. The hut is comfortable, warm and brilliantly equipped. The views are incredible and we enjoyed having our morning coffee in the summer house. The nearby pub is only a 5 min walk away and we brought a torch to help navigate the dark which was easy to do. It was magical and we cannot wait to return. Thank you!

Lovely hut, amazing location with great views and a smashing pub within 5 minutes walk. Great base for walking, we did the Wincle-Gradback walk via hanging stone which was great (about 8 miles). Will definitely be returning!
