Damsel Shepherds Hut

About this property

Damsel Shepherds Hut is a lovely, rustic hut in the charming village of Badwell Ash in Suffolk. Boasting a lakeside location and ample garden amenities, this property makes a perfectly romantic retreat for a lucky couple. After watching the sun rise over the lake with a hot beverage out on the decking, head inside to freshen up with a shower and make yourselves some breakfast in the well-equipped kitchenette. Head out for an adventure-filled day and come back to enjoy a barbecue feast if the weather allows and after the food has settled either enjoy a relaxing steam in the sauna or put on your bathing suit to sink into the warmth of the hot tub and marvel at the sunset and twinkling stars.

When sleep calls, dive under the freshly-washed sheets of a double bed for a well-deserved rest. All guests can fish year-round, day and night, from the mostly lodge-side designated swims located on Main Lake, Kingfisher Lake or Mill Pond; equipment and a valid Rod Licence are required. Treat yourself and your soulmate or travel alone for some chill-time and self-care. A stay at Damsel Shepherds Hut is an ideal haven to enjoy the wildlife, especially bird watching or a base from which you can explore the delights of Suffolk.
