Built in 2022, this gorgeous shepherd’s hut offers a luxury glamping experience in the small village of Newchurch. Set just off a secluded bridleway, it’s the perfect base for walkers and cyclists alike. Why not visit the local pretty village of Godshill, lined with thatched cottages and a great selection of tea rooms, shops and pubs it’s certainly worth the visit. The Garlic Farm (1 mile) and Harvey browns (3 miles), both offer an impressive selection of homegrown or local produce making these spots a must for the foodies. Looking further afield, attractions like Carisbrooke Castle, Osborne House and the Roman Villa make the perfect day out for history lovers, or Amazon World, Tapnell Farm, The Steam Railway and Dinosaur Isle are perfect for a family day out. Not forgetting that Sandown and Shanklin offer long sandy beaches and can be reached within 5.5 miles.

A couple of steps lead you up to a lovely stable door which sets the scene of this luxury glamping stay. As you enter this well-thought-out hut, you’ll immediately be met with a cosy, relaxing feel to the main space. It’s impossible not to shut off from everyday life in this gorgeous space. To the right you’ll find the snug sleeping area with a king-size bed and Smart TV, the perfect space to rest and relax ready for another day of exploring. There are two comfortable armchairs with a fold-out table, ideal for indoor dining or for warming up by the fire after a long day on the local hiking paths. The kitchen area is beautifully finished and well-equipped, providing everything you’ll need for your countryside escape. The final space in this lovely hut is the stylish, space-saving shower room.

Finally, as we head back out to the front of the hut, there is a private patio area with outdoor seating overlooking a beautiful willow tree, where this gorgeous hut gets it’s name. As you move round to the side there’s a private gazebo for two with comfortable seating, overlooking the country gardens and bridleway. Lastly, if you head out over the gardens you’ll find the BBQ and fire pit hut with indoor seating. Why not have a romantic evening dining experience in this Nordic-style hut and lose yourself in the total escapism that this property has to offer.

Such a relaxing stay in this immaculate shepherd's hut, it really has everything you could need. Rachel and Ollie were fantastic hosts even offering to come and collect us when we got lost on a walk. The hut is so quiet and we even spotted the red squirrel. We can't wait to return.

A wonderfully secluded spot located on the Bembridge Trail, but within a short distance of local amenities. The Willow Shepherds Hut was more than a place to lay your head, it was much more than that.
