About Woodland Retreat Shepherd's Hut

Whether on foot, bicycle or by car, the hut is an ideal place to stay and explore the national park. It's set in woodland opposite Thorney Mire Barn B&B, in a secluded location just outside Appersett. It's perfect for anyone who wants to relax and pursue a passion such as photography, art, or writing where nature can inspire you! Plenty of local wildlife make their home in the woodland. There is a squirrel feeder located in front of the hut, and it is visited most days by red squirrels. Hawes is just a two minute drive, or a 25 minute walk away, with its famous Wensleydale Creamery. The hut is brand new and offers large windows with views of the squirrel and bird feeders, the woods and beyond. It includes a small bathroom with eco toilet, shower, washbasin and heated towel rail, plus a kitchen with all the bits and bobs you need such as a kettle, toaster, fridge, microwave and crockery. You'll have the purest of local water too, from a Yorkshire borehole. The interior is furnished with a comfy set of chairs and a table, plus an open wardrobe, electric sockets and USB points for your gadgets. After a satisfying day exploring, you'll be able to sleep soundly on a double bed with Egyptian white cotton bedding. Outside the hut is a table and chairs for taking in the magnificent view, BBQ and chiminea.
