About Friends Farm Shepherds Huts
A friendly glamping site set on a small working farm, spend your days watching the sheep, horses, pigs and chickens. You can enjoy the surrounding countryside with plenty of walks nearby or venture further afield to the picturesque Norfolk coast or Norfolk Broads. The site is home to two luxury shepherd's huts which are both handmade by the owners, and situated in their own small paddock. Boasting stunning views across open countryside, each has an outside decking area and a gas BBQ to admire the views or enjoy a spot of alfresco dining. Each hut features bespoke kitchens with a dishwasher, microwave oven, hob, kettle, toaster, and fridge. The bed folds up into the wall, just pull it down when you're ready to sleep. When the bed is up, the gate leg table can be pulled up with seating too! All bedding, linen and towels are included. There is also a TV, ensuite shower and toilet, along with a wood burner, electric heating and double-glazing to keep you cosy in the winter months with firewood provided. Receive a warm welcome from owners Keith and Val, as well as a complimentary welcome pack containing home-produced eggs, bacon and prize-winning sausages. Dogs are welcome in both huts, but please keep them on leads when outside of the paddock as the site is located on a working farm.
Friends Farm Shepherds Huts is open all year round.
Each hut includes its own toilet and shower with mains water and electricity. There is a small farm shop (open Thursday to Saturday) selling local produce, along with a cafe serving drinks, cakes and light bites.
The Black Swan is the nearest pub and is just a five minute drive away. Harleston is a ten minute drive away and here you can find a Co-op for essentials and a couple of restaurants.

Where do I start? The Shepherds Hut was spotless. Built from the ground up by the owner, it has marvellous facilities. The shower was great and the toilet was very modern and clean. The living area was beautiful and was set out in a country style. It had all mod cons. It had 2 electric rings, a fridge, dishwasher and combo oven. The bed folded down from the wall and was really comfy to sleep in. There was also a gas barbecue, loungers and a large parasol at our disposal. Our hosts Keith and Val were very friendly and welcoming and that extended to putting 6 farm fresh eggs, 6 sausages and 6 rashers of bacon in the fridge ready for when we arrived. At no extra cost. These were all from their farm on which the Hut resides. Everything you need is in the hut but should you need more, there is a farm shop on site that can supply most of the things you are likely to need. Every detail was thought out. Even the wood for the log burner was inside the hut itself should you need it. It is very dog friendly as the huts sit in a small, well fenced paddock of their own. It was so quiet and peaceful with the occasional bleat of a sheep breaking the solitude. It has a TV in the hut but we listened to the radio most of the time. Be aware that these are for over 18's only but I think that rule is reasonable if you are looking for a peaceful rest. Overall, this is a 5 star stay and I cannot find anything to complain about. We had a fantastic time and will book again when we have chance to go.
