​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!      

​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.

This week is the grand opening of the brand new Poachers Shepherd Hut at Willowfen Retreat in West Norfolk. Set in it's own private paddock, surrounded by miles of scenic countryside and big Norfolk skies.

The hut features a cosy double bed, fitted kitchen, ensuite bathroom, with all bedding and towels provided. 

The friendly owners, Amanda and John, are on site to help if guests need anything but happy to leave you to your own devices. The Shepherds Hut is dog-friendly (provided it's well behaved!) and there's even a TV in case of rainy days.

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!

​"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!!"

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.

In the heart of Cambridgeshire sits this hidden gem at Avenue Farmhouse in Elsworth. This spacious Poachers Shepherd Hut sits in its own private garden, surrounded by acres of tranquil countryside. Inside the hut there is a cosy bed, ensuite bathroom and fitted kitchen.

Not only this, but guests are greeted with a luxury gift hamper packed with local treats, including some home baked treats! To book your stay, visit their booking site here. 

 
​We really think it's the journey of the design that makes our Shepherds Huts stand out, and when we get a customer who's as passionate about the finer details that define the product as we are, it makes that journey all the more memorable and the hut that bit more unique.

Jonathan Redding of Norfolk Gin was one such character, a craftsman of the celebrated local tipple, and a welcome local sight behind the wheel of his unmistakable single seater electric motor, Ginnevere. 

Jonathan came to us with sketches, scribbles and lots of fresh ideas for his hut which would serve as both an office and a packaging station for the strikingly distinctive stone jars of Norfolk Gin.

 Before and during the build, Jonathan would often pop in to discuss new ideas with the team for the layout and design and after several tweaks, alterations and reincarnations, Matilda was conceived! This 20ft hut would provide plenty of space for the gin to be stored, as well as an ergonomic packing workbench and shelving unit at the end designed to match all of his labels, packaging and equipment. Jonathan's is a firm believer in the application of "kaizen" to make his work both harmonious and efficient, so a flexible and adaptable work space was designed to allow for constant small improvements.

Everything from the position of the plug sockets to allow for Jonathan's music system, to the mixture of task and ambient mood lighting and the colour non-slip flooring was a result of a very considered approach to creating Norfolk Gin a purpose built space that would serve the business for many years to come.

Always happy to go that extra step, we also hand forged Jonathan a custom knife which he commissioned from us to prepare the botanicals that give Norfolk Gin it's unique flavour- No other Shepherd Hut builder does that! 

The hut is one of our road legal towable models, which can be hooked up to a land rover or 4x4 and taken anywhere. That makes Green Farm's hut an ideal weekly visitor to Carrow Road where their baristas tend to the needs of the cold and thirsty football fans!

 Next time you're catching a Norwich game, be sure to pop by for a brilliant cup of coffee.
