Secluded off grid Shepherd's Hut

Secluded off grid Shepherd's Hut is a hand-built, off-grid retreat tucked away within ten acres near Stroud, Gloucestershire, providing a peaceful escape for two surrounded by fields and traditional stone walls.

Powered by solar panels and a small wind turbine, and forming part of a sustainable business with a natural horsemanship yard and no-dig vegetable business, this distinctive abode is ideally suited to couples looking to spend time amongst nature.

Step inside and make yourself at home in the thoughtfully arranged living space, where the woodburning stove provides warmth on cooler evenings and the kitchen offers everything needed to prepare your own meals.

When sleep calls, retire to the king-size bed before preparing for another day exploring the surrounding countryside.

A separate shower building houses the walk-in hot shower and compost toilet.

Outside, make the most of the large garden area or settle down on the platform with a drink, where chairs and a fire bowl provide a pleasant spot to spend an evening beneath the stars, with the neighbouring goats and horses occasionally appearing at the fence.

Minchinhampton can be reached via a nearby footpath, providing a starting point for discovering this picturesque corner of Gloucestershire.

Wander across Minchinhampton Common to enjoy its extensive grassland, walking routes and far-reaching countryside scenery, or venture into Stroud to browse its independent shops and experience the town's celebrated market culture.

The wider Cotswolds offer a wealth of characterful towns, villages, walking trails and rural landscapes for further days of exploration.
