Here on A Luxury Travel Blog, we’ve had the luxury and privilege of staying in a couple of shepherd huts in the UK – one in North Wales, at Brook Cottage Shepherd Huts on the Llyn Peninsula, and one in South-West England, at Dittisham Hideaway in Devon (both lovely, by the way!). And now they are starting to spring up at luxury hotels, too, with Gisborough Hall Hotel in North-East England being the latest to have submitted an application to add four huts with hot tubs to land behind the hotel.

It seems to be an increasingly popular trend, with the rise in demand for bespoke, handcrafted shepherd huts leading to the expansion of South West company Greendown Shepherd Huts. The team of 15 – led by founders Richard Hodges, Harry Long and his brother-in-law, director Jordan Franklin – has seen such a rise in demand for their luxurious products that they have had to move their operation to larger premises. Now they are based at Zeal Green Business Park near Keynsham, giving them the space to expand and grow their brand.

Greendown Shepherd Huts are in their seventh year and production is projected to increase to two huts per week from their new site. The location also provides a viewing space that showcases the full range of huts, including The Herdsman, Herdwick, The Double Hut and The Bespoke Hut.
