Located beside the popular PIG BEER Brewery, guests can enjoy the atmosphere of a working craft brewery complete with on-site beer garden, while still benefiting from the privacy and tranquillity of their own secluded retreat. Ambient music plays softly from midday until evening during the summer months, creating a laid-back countryside atmosphere unlike anywhere else in the New Forest.

Inside, the shepherd’s hut has been thoughtfully designed with warm natural interiors, solid oak worktops, calming colours, and traditional curved-roof styling. The cosy king-size bed offers the perfect place to relax after a day exploring the forest, while the wood-burning stove keeps the hut warm and inviting throughout the year.

The compact but fully equipped kitchen includes a fridge freezer, combination microwave oven, gas hobs, kettle, toaster, and butler sink — everything needed for a comfortable self-catering stay. Guests can also enjoy a stylish bathroom complete with shower, vintage-style sink, and WC.

Outside, unwind in your private two-person wood-fired hot tub beneath the stars, with complimentary wood provided for your stay. A covered outdoor seating area with BBQ, table, and chairs creates the perfect setting for outdoor dining and relaxed countryside evenings.

The hut enjoys beautiful views across surrounding fields, where wild deer are often spotted wandering through the nearby forest landscape. Despite its peaceful setting, the location is ideally positioned just moments from local attractions including:
• Setley Ridge Farm Shop & Vineyard next door
• The Filly Inn just a short walk away
• Brockenhurst village only 2 minutes away
• Lymington within 5 minutes
• Highcliffe Beach around 20 minutes away

Guests can also stock up on exceptional local food from the neighbouring farm shop, offering everything from fresh pastries and croissants to premium ready meals, curries, lasagnes, and comforting countryside dishes.

Please note:
• The shepherd’s hut is compact and cosy with limited storage space
• Access to the bed requires climbing/crawling and may not suit guests with limited mobility
• The hut is located beside the brewery beer garden and near the owners’ garden, offering a lively but relaxed atmosphere during brewery opening hours

Whether you’re looking to explore the New Forest, enjoy beach days on the south coast, discover local food and drink, or simply unwind in a hot tub beneath the trees, this charming shepherd’s hut offers a truly memorable countryside escape.
