About this property
Cleobury Mortimer 3.8 miles. Shepherds Retreat is a delightful shepherd's hut enjoying the countryside on its doorstep on the southern edge of the Shropshire Hills AONB, in Hopton Bank near Cleobury Mortimer. Ideal for a couple who want to escape the hustle and bustle of life, the hut enjoys unbeatable, panoramic views covering 40 miles of countryside, towns, villages and on a clear day you can even spot Birmingham! Be greeted by the wild orchid field on arrival, before parking up in the off-road space. Venture inside via the steps of the hut's timber-clad studio-style accommodation. Kick back and relax on one of the plush armchairs as you savour a glass of wine and watch TV; all the while the electric fire warms your toes! When you're feeling peckish, make your way to the kitchen, a compact but stylish and practical space, thanks to its LED lighting and range of appliances available. Once you've fixed up a delicious meal, open out the folding table and chairs and enjoy a meal for two by the fire, or take the meal out to the decking and tuck in amidst those gorgeous views. When night falls, retreat to the double, a bespoke bed with a reconditioned 1930s bed frame, and enjoy a well-earned rest. In the morning, freshen up in the shower room, a space enjoying a walk-in shower and the lovely touch of an illuminated mirror. Cleobury Mortimer is situated a very short drive away and offers all your amenities in one handy location, including a range of eateries sitting on its main street, along with a supermarket stocked with all you need for a self-catered stay. Make the most of the hut's marvellous location, where the walking trails and cycle routes of the Shropshire Hills rest a stone's throw away, including the hiking area of Titterstone Clee, where you can trek to the Cleehill Summit and enjoy breathtaking views; alternatively, you can venture to Clee Hills View Point for more rural views, as well as access to Treenpits.

It is a lovely place to stay and relax, so well thought out, Farmer Des came over to give us our keys and show us around and he was the loveliest man. The hut is super comfy, from the lovely. Armchairs ( seating is normally a bit of an issue in huts) to the restored bed from 1857!, everything has been thought about,great use of space,,everything you need is there. The hut has a large decking to the front, with ramp and step access, a really nice fully enclosed garden, so you don't have to worry about your dog wandering off, as well as at least 3 large fields you have access to straight from the gate by the decking. There are 2 small sheds one with kit for the chiminea and some extra chairs and loungers in and the other with hanging space for clothes, coats ,boots and bikes if you want ( there is also an ironing board and iron in there) and finally THE VIEWS !! ......did I mention the views! you can sit on the deck and look out over 4 counties, plenty of wildlife about as well. Not often I say this but 10 out of 10, a lovely place owned by lovely people, will definitely come back for another stay.

Extremely friendly and helpful from the minute we booked our stay. The lodge was a beautiful property, surrounded by nature and outstanding views as far as the eye could see. We cannot fault the place or the love owners. The hut has been comfortably designed with old feature that are unique. Des had told us that he had built the hut as a hobby and it shows his passion and dedication the the project. We are already planning our next trip there. If you are looking for peace and quiet, and love wildlife then this is a great spot about an hr from walsall. Thank you for making our long weekend feel great x Sarah and Steve
