About New Hanson Shepherd's Huts
Set on a hill sheep farm by the edge of a woodland, surrounded by nature, these two traditional shepherd's huts, Lily and Fern, offer a romantic, rustic and relaxing way to holiday. You'll find it easy to relax in the cosy huts for two, each equipped with a double bed along with fresh linen, comfy mattresses, a wood-burning stove and battery-operated lighting. It's the ideal escape for couples or singles who want to unwind in a rural hideaway and as a base to explore the surrounding area. A gas camping stove and BBQ are supplied for simple meals, or guests can order a breakfast hamper delivered to their door. There are several pubs within the surrounding villages too. For those guests who wish to bring their four-legged friend, the Lily shepherd's hut is dog friendly - so they too can enjoy the delights of the Peak District at no extra cost!

What a joy to share Linda and Tom's piece of paradise! Their hospitality adds a good measure of local friendliness. In the enchanting silence of a moonlit night, the pastures breathe restoration. My daughter joined me and we could not spend a better day together elsewhere. The lovely landscape is laced with hiking trails and cycling paths. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

We stayed for 4 nights and could have stayed longer. The hut was so cosy, clean and well equipped, the perfect base to explore the Peak District. The tissington trail is just over the road with many more walks accessible by foot or short car journey. Tim and Linda had prepared everything perfectly and the breakfast hamper was a lovely touch, a great way to start the day. The shower and toilet facilities were great, clean and private. There is also a fridge and washing up area. We had such a great stay and I keep thinking about the comfy bed and crackling fire now I’m back home! Would really really recommend.

This was our 2nd stay in the Shepherds Hut, Lily. Linda is such a warm and welcoming host. We chose here because of its location, and the peace and quiet. We got a break from the noise and technology of day to day. As there are only two huts in a contained area and only one allows dogs, we could relax knowing we were not going to be approached by other dogs, we didn't need to worry about our 11 year old dog who is reactive. You have all the basics in the hut, pots, pans, a little stove, kettle for cups of tea and little meals. For proper meals we visited 2 local pub restaurants, The Jug and Glass in Hartington, and The Bowling Green in Ashbourne. If you enjoy a good steak then The Bowling Green is the place to go. There are lots of local walks right on your doorstep or you can drive further afield like we did to Buxton for a walk in the country park. We really enjoyed our second stay here, and will be back again in the not so distant future.
