The Duck Hut

A romantic cabin for two from £94 per night. Minimum 2 nights stay.

One double bed on a mezzanine level accessed via a ladder.

 

The Duck Hut is a beautifully restored, warm and comfortable former fishing hut.

Read, wander, sway in the hammock and gaze at the stars.
The perfect place to unwind.

Peaceful, quiet and secluded. The Duck Hut has uninterrupted and unspoilt views over the rolling meadows leading up to the Shropshire Hills.

Starting life as a fishing hut in the 1940s it had been abandoned, unloved and seen decades of neglect but was sound enough to be restored. Now it is the very thing you picture when you want to escape to a cabin in the wild.

You can walk through the fields and up into the hills from the doorstep.There are plenty of spots locally for a pub lunch or gourmet supper, Castles and gardens to explore, rivers and streams to wander along and dip into.

You could prepare delicious food in the well equipped indoor kitchen, cook alfresco on the covered gas bbq or over glowing coals in the fire pit.

Sit on the veranda with the binoculars watching the abundant wild life whilst sipping a cold glass of wine. Or spend your time rocking gently in the hammock listening to the leaves rustling in the breeze.

The Duck Hut is the perfect place to sit, watch, breathe and just stop.
