Tin & Wood Huts in Nottingham

30/8/2018

It always feels slightly bittersweet after completing an order- For the last year and a bit, we've been working very closely with Sarah and Joe to help them bring their project to life!

They first contacted us a year ago, with an idea to diversify their farm and a corner of their field by the canal.

We put through and managed their planning application, helping them obtain permission for up to four huts, the access track, all the associated landscaping and planting, a new access from the road and to introduce all the needed utilities in an eco friendly manner that was sensitive to the Grantham Canal, a Site of Special Scientific Interest, which runs through the site.

We then helped throughout the Leader Grant application, which was a long and very drawn out process taking several months! However, Sarah's patience paid off in the end, as the grant was approved and covered 40% of the setup costs.

Finally, the huts were designed to their exact specification, with some unique features like a copper splashback and vintage jam-pot sink making these particular ones stand out.

Now that the huts are delivered, sited and hooked up, there's nothing else for us to do but wait for all the other works to be finished and the site to be opened! It's been great working with Sarah and Joe, and we look forward to watching their hard work bring about a truly unique location.

If you're currently at the early stages of a project like this, we can help you bring it to fruition. Whether you'd like to call on our dedicated planning consultancy, specialising in obtaining planning permission for Shepherd Huts, or you'd like some invaluable advice on how to streamline and save time during the dreaded Leader Grant application, we do much, much more than build your huts!

Introducing The Shower Shack

28/11/2017

We are delighted to announce the launch of our latest innovative product, The Shower Shack. Imagine if you could have a hot shower anywhere, anytime. Our Shower Shack provides just that, even if you are miles away from running water!

They can be assembled and taken down quickly by one person and are easy to transport. They are available both for purchase or for hire, making them ideal for glamping events such as festivals, outdoor weddings and parties, or for sporting events like cycling, surfing or anything involving sweat, sand and mud!

Our mission is simple: to provide hot showers anywhere, anytime. Our shower shacks are hand-made and built to last by our same skilled craftsmen from The English Shepherds Hut Company. They make a perfect addition for a holiday or sporting event, miles away from civilisation and can be set up anywhere! This makes them perfect for campsites, festivals, sporting events and more.

The Shower Shack on the Beach

It doesn't require any electricity whatsoever, and doesn't necessarily require a running water supply either- We are able to provide this as well! If used with eco-friendly shower products, it can be placed on any free-draining ground without any impact on the environment. When paired with our matching Lav Shack composting loo, it can provide you with a stylish off-grid outdoor bathroom.

They are available to private buyers, resellers and event hire businesses. Take a look on our dedicated website www.showershacks.co.uk for further information and get in touch on 01603 397777 or info@showershacks.co.uk to find out about hiring or purchasing one.

Vote for Fair Oak Farm!

14/6/2017

Earlier this year we delivered two of our Poachers Huts to Fair Oak Farm in Sussex. It's a beautiful destination with a lot to offer, so we were really excited to be able to place our huts in the picturesque grounds. Recently, they have been nominated to win the Muddy Stiletto's Sussex award for Best Boutique Stay. You can vote for them by clicking on the picture to the right!

To try out this unique Sussex glamping destination, you can visit www.fairoakfarm.co.uk.
The owner of the site, Ian Ledger, had these kind words to offer!

"Two Poacher’s Huts, built by English Shepherd’s Huts, we’re added to our range of accommodation in 2017 . Combined with our Grade II Listed farmhouse, converted farm buildings and eco-lodge tree houses we can now accommodate up to 36 guests, ideal for large groups wanting a short break or for business team away stays and events. Nestled in our orchard, the huts are excellent quality - a step up from anything else out there - and we’ve had amazing feedback from our customers. English Shepherd’s Huts provided a highly professional and timely service from pre-order right through to delivery and even after delivery. We couldn’t be happier!!"

Waingates Farm Shepherd Huts

12/6/2017

This month, Waingates Farm in North Yorkshire launched after many months of preparation! We were first approached by the owner, Matthew, about a year ago. We helped him obtain planning permission for six shepherds huts, and Matthew promptly ordered three for the first year on what would be a thoroughly unique retreat. Each hut enjoys its own secluded garden, barbecue and hot tub, with uninterrupted views of the magnificent countryside.

The huts which are named Yain, Tain and Eddero, an ancient Yorkshire system for counting sheep, are perfect for couples and feature ensuite bathrooms.
Not only that, but they feature soft, fully dressed double beds, wood burning stoves, a kitchenette and a wood burning stove inside the hut, plus a fire pit, barbecue and hot tub outside.

Matthew and Emma did a great job decorating the huts we built, with tasteful vintage themes that are both rustic and funky!

Shepherd Hut holidays in Yorkshire are a rarity, but Waingates Farm has created a luxury glamping gem. To make your booking, visit www.waingatesfarmhuts.co.uk

A Shepherds Hut Hideaway in Suffolk

23/5/2017

Last week we bid a fond farewell to this 16ft Hideaway style hut, clad in a traditional wrinkly tin finish. This cosy garden getaway was built for a beautiful farm in Suffolk for the owners to enjoy in their garden, and for visiting family members to stay in. It's a very traditional layout with just a bed, table and stove, but with a contemporary twist to offer plenty of comfort, space and light. This hut also has solar powered lights and antique brass switches.

It was great working with Mark and Jackie to design them this hut, and Mark had some kind words to say!

Myself and Jackie have enjoyed the whole process of buying the hut, from the initial meeting where we could discuss our wishes. It was useful to look around the workshop. This gave us the idea to have the hut a bit wider and longer.
The whole team has been very friendly and professional with excellent communications.
Now that the hut has been delivered, it looks amazing in its new setting. All the family love it, and the quality of the finish is better than we had hoped for.
We are looking forward to many happy Summer days and cosy Winters in our new escape.
Once again, thank you all for making this one of the happier experiences of life. We would certainly recommend your services.
