There are beautiful views in all directions and with only four Shepherd Huts, guests can enjoy privacy as well as peace and quiet. Each hut offers an en-suite shower room, double bed, flat screen TV, woodburning stove, underfloor heating and a fully fitted kitchen. Outdoors, guests can take full advantage of the lakeside location courtesy of outdoor furniture, a firepit barbecue and their own wood-fired hot tub. There is also a covered Summer House, the Duck Inn, for guests to use, which has a dining table, plush seating, hammocks, and a bar area with a fridge to keep your drinks cool - the perfect place to sit sipping your favourite tipple whilst watching the sun set. At Shepherd’s Lodge you can enjoy your escape any way you please - simply relax and enjoy the peace and quiet of country life, breath in the fresh air and feed the ducks whilst you watch the kingfishers and other wildlife from the comfort of your Shepherd’s Hut or soak up the atmosphere of the Vale of Belvoir and visit the wonderful local attractions such as Belvoir Castle, the Engine Yard and Hanwell Wine Estate or take your horse for a hack, cycle the stunning countryside or dine in some of the area’s fabulous country pubs and restaurants, including the nearby Windmill Inn, which featured in some scenes of Auf Wiedersehen, Pet, in Redmile or the popular 17th-century gastropub of Chequers Inn, which serves great food and is a fine dining restaurant. Also, it would be a shame to miss the Alpaca Centre, a horse drawn carriage ride, clay pigeon shooting or a canal boat trip, all of which are within easy reach. Alternatively, visit some of the fabulous local attractions which include Belvoir Castle, Burghley House, Woolsthorpe Manor - the family home of Sir Isaac Newton or one of the beautiful market towns of Newark, Southwell, Stamford, and Oakham. There are two stables on site, so guests are welcome to bring a horse if they wish and bike storage is also available. There is an extra charge for stable use and bike storage which should be booked in advance if required. The neighbours, Barkestone Vale Equestrian offer our guests ménage use, riding lessons and equine Reiki for an additional fee and The Vale Retreat offers guests a 10% discount on Swedish Massages, Hot Stones, and Reiki.
