Your arrival takes you through meandering country lanes to Betty, which sits in a raised position taking full advantage of the surrounding views. Part of the Lydney Park Estate, this wooden shepherd's hut is full of character and rustic appeal.
Steps lead to the decking and entrance of this charming hut. You'll first notice the raised king-size bed which sits beneath a skylight. Here you can lie beneath the stars. Built-in steps to the side mean you don't have to clamber into bed. Cleverly stored beneath the bed are a hidden table and benches. These pull out so you can enjoy meals together and can then be stowed away to make the most of the space. Light the wood burner in the evening and enjoy this time together away from the world. This well-designed shepherd's hut is equipped with all the must-haves needed for a relaxing stay including a kitchenette with an oven and two-ring hob, a microwave, a fridge with a freezer compartment and a Belfast sink. To the rear is a stylishly appointed shower room behind a sliding door.
Outside you can watch the sunrise from the decking and enjoy long walks in the local area. There is also a firepit/barbecue. Follow the routes from your door around the nearby lake or head into the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley to discover everything that is on offer here. From finding hidden viewpoints, water sports, forest trails and cycling there is something for everybody to enjoy. If you'd prefer something more relaxing, there are also some fantastic pubs and restaurants to treat yourself to a meal out.
Sleeping Area:
The raised king-size bed is a central point with built-in steps to one side. This cosy retreat will ensure a good night's sleep and you can watch the stars or let the sun flood in through the skylight above. Lying beneath the exposed wood beams you become part of the forest which sits outside your door.
Living/Dining/Kitchen Area:
From under the bed, a table and two benches are stored which are easily pulled out to create a dining area. Made from the same wood as the bed and kitchen units it fits perfectly. The kitchen has a fridge with a freezer section, microwave, oven and two-ring hob; enough space to prepare meals during your stay.
Bathroom:
Behind a sliding door at the back of the hut is the hidden shower room. This white-panelled room has a rainfall shower, ceramic sink, and traditional WC. Despite feeling like you're in the middle of nowhere, you have all your modern conveniences here.
Outside
Beyond the front decking, your views spread across the surrounding trees to the hills in the distance. It is as though the garden of this hut is the entire Forest of Dean. At the end of the gravelled pathway, there is a parking space for one car.
Located in Lydney, this cabin is in a rural area. Taurus Crafts and Chepstow Museum are cultural highlights, and some of the area's attractions include Perrygrove Railway & Treetop Adventure and Way2go Adventures.
