Get away from it all – without leaving the garden – with your own beautiful Blackdown Shepherd Hut
As autumn starts to weave her web of slower days, and the thought of lighting the fire no longer seems such a distant prospect, do you catch yourself dreaming about a place where you can curl up and unwind? A space of your own to relax, read, chat with loved ones or simply enjoy a warming cuppa in peace? That idyllic escape could be closer than you think with Blackdown Shepherd Huts.
At this time of year our thoughts tend to drift towards leisurely pursuits. Outdoor activities revolve around harvesting the last from the garden and sweeping up leaves, all heart-filling activities. But it’s then, with a good dose of invigorating work behind them, that many Blackdown customers find that the urge to light up the log burner, pull a good book down from the shelf and settle with a cup of tea inside their hut becomes quite irresistible. Once inside, the soft pitter-patter of an unannounced rain shower on the roof can easily cause the book to slide, as drowsy eyelids gently close and a stolen hour drifts by in the secret pleasure of a frivolous snooze.
Then, an awakening… footsteps followed by cheerful shouts as family return from an invigorating walk. As they sit on the steps, removing muddy boots and chattering contentedly, the shepherd hut shakes off its sleepy reverie and becomes a cosy hub for excited walk stories, served up with lashings of tea and maybe a cheeky biscuit or two.
Jobs done, a restorative nap and another precious family memory to treasure? That sounds like a day well spent to us.
