This gorgeous, crafted shepherd’s hut makes for the perfect romantic getaway with splendid views over the open countryside. Set within its own private area on a working farm, it’s an ideal spot to unwind and explore the beautiful Dumfries countryside and discover the many surrounding walks. If you fancy a longer walk, then pick up the Annandale Way and take in the stunning views as you wind your way along the River Annan to Solway Firth from the hills north of Moffat. Located just 4 miles from Annan, you are within easy reach of the bustling high street of this historic town where you will find a good range of locally run shops, cafes and restaurants. You are also only 7 miles from the romantic town of Gretna Green, the wedding capital of the UK.

A path leads you past the owner’s chickens to the shepherd’s hut which is accessed by three small steps. This charming hut has an open-plan layout with the main living space featuring a raised double bed with useful storage underneath, a dining area, a Smart TV, and a cute bijou kitchen equipped with a microwave, two-ring electric hob and fridge/freezer. This impeccably designed kitchen provides the perfect space for rustling up a nice breakfast or romantic dinner. There’s also a shower room with WC off the main living space. French doors look out over the open fields.

Outside, you can enjoy the enclosed garden where will find the bonus of a private wood-fired hot tub, and a seating area overlooking the gorgeous countryside; perfect for relaxing and a spot of al fresco dining.

Our stay was everything we had hoped it would be. I felt safe being so close to Mr & Mrs Martindale as the hut is on their farm land, however still having our privacy and being out of sight of their home when in the hot tub etc. The cottage manual inside the hut full of useful information was very helpful.

What can I say other than simply perfect. Beautiful, outstandingly clean, easiest check in and check out process ever. Dont think about booking it just book it. You will not be disappointed, we got married in Gretna just the two of us and this little hut made the whole thing that bit more special.
