A year of five-star reviews and learnings with our Shepherd’s Hut

Celebrating our first anniversary with Holly Bush Hideaway

It’s been an incredible (and busy) year since we opened our farm to guests with the launch of our charming shepherd’s hut, fondly known as the Holly Bush Hideaway.

It’s a privilege to be able to share this beautiful corner of the South Shropshire countryside with so many wonderful people, who have all embraced the tranquillity and abundance of nature on our farm.

Our shepherd’s hut has proven its flexibility for guests, time and time again, whatever the weather. Whether it’s providing a cosy, under-floor heated retreat with the wood burner roaring in the winter, or a secluded spot to soak up the sun and embrace eating outside in the summer months, the hut has truly catered for all seasons.

Copper bath with a view

Guests have particularly loved our unique outside copper bath, which offers a luxurious soak no matter the weather. Be it sinking into hot, bubbly water on a crisp winter night, or cooling off with a refreshing dip in the summer sun, drink in hand. It’s an experience that our guests rave about!

The location of Holly Bush Hideaway is a sight to behold. With panoramic views stretching as far as the eye can see, guests tell us it’s easy to lose yourself in the beauty of nature here. You get to wake up to the gentle sounds of birdsong, the distant bleating of sheep, and the sound of cows and their calves.

It has certainly been the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life for our visitors.

Five-star reviews

One of the greatest joys of running Holly Bush Hideaway has been reading the heartfelt reviews from our guests. Their kind words and happy reflections at the end of their stay bring us immense satisfaction and pride. We’ve heard from couples seeking a romantic getaway, travellers looking for peace and quiet, and people wanting to experience the countryside and what Ludlow has to offer.

Each review is a testament to the special experiences our hideaway provides. We also take on board all feedback and have learnt an immense amount across the year. A guest’s suggestion that they would have enjoyed binoculars to better spot the birds in the areas was a stroke of genius that we couldn’t believe we hadn’t thought of sooner! Another learning is, never assume sheep will stay where they should be!

As we celebrate our first anniversary, we want to say a big thank you to all our guests for putting your trust in us as we know how precious time away is. Your support and feedback have made this journey truly rewarding.

If you haven’t yet experienced the magic of our shepherd’s hut, we warmly invite you to book a stay. Come and create your own unforgettable memories at Holly Bush Hideaway. We can’t wait to welcome you!
