The Space

Step inside our beautifully crafted shepherd’s hut, designed to provide comfort while embracing simplicity. With natural wood paneling, soft bedding and charming decor, it offers a warm and inviting retreat. Enjoy the simplicity of collecting eggs from the resident chickens and cooking over the fire pit.

★ WHAT TO EXPECT ★

✔ Separate outdoor loo & shower: basic but functional, adding to the rustic charm.

✔ Fire pit: perfect for grilling or simply gathering around under the stars (WE DO RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CHARGE FOR EXTRA LOGS).

✔ No Wi-Fi: disconnect from the digital world and truly relax.

✔ Basic living: experience a cosy countryside stay, with minimal distractions.

✔ Private meadow: enjoy exclusive access to your own piece of wildflower paradise.

At Harbour Ranch, simplicity is the luxury. Gather fresh ingredients from the land, cook meals over the fire, and relax by the wood-burning stove as the evening chill sets in. Sit back and listen to birdsong or watch the alpacas and horses graze peacefully nearby.

Whether you’re looking for a digital detox or a romantic countryside retreat, our shepherd’s hut offers the perfect escape. The tranquil setting, surrounded by nature’s beauty, promises rest and rejuvenation.
