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 or sway in the hammock while gazing 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 into the Shropshire Hills.

It’s life began in the 1940’s as a fishing hut. Decades of neglect had seen her abandoned and unloved but she was sound enough to be restored to a new life. Now she is the very thing you might picture when you want to escape to a cabin in the wild. Your own bathroom just behind the hut has a flushing loo, hot shower and elevated views.

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

You can prepare delicious food in the well-equipped indoor kitchen, cook alfresco on the covered gas BBQ or even over the glowing coals in the fire pit.

Perhaps just sit on the veranda with the binoculars watching the abundant wildlife whilst sipping a cold glass of wine. Or even spend your time rocking gently in the hammock listening to the rustle of leaves in the breeze.

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