Dog-Friendly Glamping

The Shepherd’s Hut is a wonderful choice for those looking to escape and enjoy life in peaceful surroundings, with wide open countryside just a short stroll away. The property has been equipped with all modern comforts with the added luxury of a private hot tub and fire pit to enjoy after a day out in the countryside.
Situated next to, but totally private from its neighbour The Steading (UK5834), each can be booked together to accommodate families or couples, and each lovingly furnished, enjoying the same attention to detail. Located just 4 miles from the centre of Montrose and a couple of miles from the nearest shop and pub, there is plenty to discover in the area. Glorious sandy beaches in Montrose, Lunan Bay or St Cyrus are wonderful for bracing walks or playing in the sand.
Montrose Basin is a renowned nature reserve and wildlife centre and in the winter, thousands of pink-footed geese make a spectacular sight taking off in the early morning to feed in the surrounding countryside. Away from the coast are the Angus Glens which form the foothills of the Grampian Mountains, with myriad walks and trails to be discovered. Golf, tennis and a leisure pool are in the town itself, or further afield the cities of Dundee and Aberdeen are almost equi-distant and have plenty of shops, eateries and theatres for an alternative day out. Beach 3 miles. Shop and restaurant 2 miles, pub 2½ miles.
This property can be booked together with The Steading (UK5834) to accommodate up to 4 guests.

Nestled in a secluded corner of the owner’s meadow, this delightful shepherds hut is a cosy and stylish retreat. It is set in the heart of the stunning South Cornwall countryside, but is an easy jaunt to some amazing beaches, great tourist attractions and bustling towns. The Wool Shed, complete with a raised decked area with distant sea views, is the perfect escape for two. The beaches of Caerhays, Gorran Haven and Hemmick are easily reached, and the bustling fishing village of Mevagissey is close by. The narrow streets of Mevagissey are lined with local pubs, shops and cafés, which all seem to gravitate to the working harbour where you can take a boat out for fishing trips to catch your supper for the barbecue back at The Wool Shed.

The Lost Gardens of Heligan are just a couple of minutes away and an essential part of a Cornish holiday, with its stunning jungle and beautiful woodland walks. There is also a great local farm shop for treats and provisions. At nearby Pentewan you can hire bikes and cycle the off road and flat trail leading up to the town of St Austell, and for the more energetic, you can eventually cycle to the Eden Project on a network of local trails. This wonder is worth every penny, with its huge biomes and tropical rainforest, it is an amazing day out. The North Cornwall Coast is also accessible, with towns such as Newquay, Padstow and St Ives. The two Cornish coasts are only approximately 15 miles apart at this point.

The area around The Wool Shed is full of woodland walks, narrow lanes, local pubs, hidden coves and sandy beaches, and quaint little villages steeped in tradition and history. The Roseland Peninsula, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is stunning right down to the sailing village of St Mawes, where you can actually catch a ferry over to Falmouth for a day out in this bustling town. There are golf courses, sailing, fishing, cycling and surfing all available nearby, making The Wool Shed the perfect place for a rest or to enjoy the activities this county offers. Beach 1½ miles. Shop, pub and restaurant ½ mile.
