The shepherd's huts give you all the joys of camping with the added luxuries of a comfy bed with duvet and a wood burner. All the huts have their own hot showers and wee shack, roll down canvas awnings, hammocks, solar lights, USB sockets and campfire tripod with grill and frying pans, and cooking utensils. A great hideaway for couples or a peaceful hidden retreat for solo travellers. Bring a good book and truly switch off and relax. There's even a wood-burner to keep you warm inside and a fire pit to cook outside.
