Property code: OC-WA052

Compact, yet with all the necessities you need, this peaceful hut stands alone in a beautiful green meadow. Perfect for relaxing and unwinding from daily stresses, it can be enjoyed all year round. It’s cosy during the colder months and ideal for sunbathing in the summer. Less than 1 mile away you’ll find a local pub and the nearest shop is just 1.5 miles from the holiday home. The fishing village of Staithes fishing is less than 2 miles away; it’s a pretty place with coloured cottages and a fleet of cobles (traditional fishing boats) pulled up on the sides of the harbour.

The hut, reached via two external steps, has a sturdy timber frame, is fully insulated and there’s also an electric heater to keep you warm. Inside, it has hard flooring and a night sky-inspired ceiling with printed stars and spotlights. The comfortable double bed looks out over the panoramic views of the meadow and there’s a TV with FreeSat. Store your belongings in the handy chest of drawers and rustle up a meal in the kitchen area which has a small fridge, ceramic hob and microwave oven with grill. There’s a door that leads into the bathroom with a WC and shower cubicle.

The best part of staying in this hut is being able to enjoy the great outdoors. You have a private decked area with a table and chairs that seats two and a stunning south-facing view of the meadow. There is a small lockable shed providing storage for boots and coats etc, and a kettle BBQ also available for you to use. Enjoy al fresco dining and soak up the sun’s rays. For some evening entertainment, check out the shared games room with a three-quarter-size snooker table, table tennis and table football, plus books, board games and DVDs. The owners can provide special event dinners and guided walks. Tai Chi lessons are also available.

loved staying in the shepherds hut at ridge hall, such a nice little blot hole if you want to get away from everyday life, great views and no traffic or street lights to spoil the place.

Small but perfectly formed! For the space there is in this shepherds hut, everything has been well thought out and provided for you. The only issue I had (and this will not affect everyone) moving around the bed space was difficult but not impossible and you get used to the best way to do it. We enjoyed the fabulous views outside (despite the odd dRead moreog walker walking across the front of the window staring in) and Nicky the host was wonderful in greeting us and giving us some local knowledge. It was very clean and cozy and a fabulous base for a week on the coast. Hide

Everything about the stay was perfect. The Shepherds hut was very clean and had everything we needed for a relaxing break. The owner was very helpful and advised us of great places to visit and delicious places to eat. I would highly recommend the Shepherds hut to couples looking to switch off and recharge their batteries.

It was great to be the only shepherd hut in the field, valley. The hut was a great location to walk and travel from and it was very clean with all modern conveniences possible to place in a hut. We watched bats, saw young pheasants and listen to and saw bird of prey. Thank you.

Stunning , peaceful and picturesque location near to Staithes located in a field opposite the owners home. Stayed 3 nights solo traveller. Well designed and great quality kitchen and bathroom in the hut. Lovely and clean apart from the flat sheet on the bed had several animal hairs on it and the duvet itself had stains on it. The mattress was aRead morelso uncomfortable. This did not match the quality of the rest of the hut not sure why ? The owner was slow to respond to contact but did change the bedding. The overall welcome was not great and the hosting skills did not match the location or quality of the hut which was a shame and tarnished the experience. Hide

The Shepherds Hut was a lovely little escape with a fantastic view, without the need to get out of bed! The hot water supply, shower pressure and soft towels were also very pleasing. I would have no qualms about staying again or recommending it to others.

A clean, comfy and tidy little hut with a beautiful view. No need for TV just watch the Barn Owl and pheasant! Lots of walks and things to do within a 20 min drive. Had a great stay and would go again.
