1 Bed Lodge in Hemel Hempstead

About this property

Escape to this tranquil, adults-only shepherd’s hut nestled on a private smallholding in the beautiful Hertfordshire countryside. It provides a golden opportunity to slow down, reconnect with nature, and experience life alongside the charming resident alpacas. Thoughtful touches and boutique comforts make the hut perfect for romantic getaways, relaxing breaks, and special celebrations. Just beyond the site itself, there are beautiful countryside walks for those who want to get out into nature. A short 1-mile stroll brings you to the quintessentially English village of Potten End, with its village green, duck pond, store, and two great pubs – a wonderful advantage on a rural break away. And, with central London just a short train ride away, you can enjoy a true rural escape without travelling far. Come for the alpacas, stay for the tranquillity, and leave with unforgettable memories.

Climb the five steps into this lovingly handcrafted shepherd’s hut, which seamlessly pairs rustic charm with modern comfort. Filled with light, the thoughtfully designed interior creates a warm, cosy space that invites you in to relax and unwind. The curved wooden ceiling matches the floor, while the wall panelling is painted a neutral shade to lend an air of elegance. You can prepare simple holiday feasts in the compact yet well-equipped kitchenette. There is even a wall-mounted table offering a cosy place to sit back, enjoy a hearty breakfast, read a book, or simply watch the world go by. At one end of the hut, behind a privacy door, is the shower room and composting toilet. When it is time to switch off for the evening, sink into the wonderfully comfortable double bed and enjoy a peaceful night’s sleep, waking up to skyline views from the windows.

Step out onto your spacious private deck area, raised up off the ground, and soak up the peaceful beauty of the Hertfordshire countryside. With alpacas roaming nearby, you will have a wonderful opportunity to spend time watching, interacting with, and getting to know them. The decking has everything you need to make the most of the outdoors, including comfortable seating at one end, a BBQ, and a charming bistro set — perfect for al fresco dining, enjoying a relaxed evening drink, or simply sitting with your morning coffee while the alpacas graze nearby.
