Oak floor and pale lime washed walls give the hut a very Scandinavian feel. Proper “Hygge” The Shepherds Hut has its own private Wood fired Hot Tub Just a few steps to the warm Shower block and shared stable Kitchen

A Shepherds Hut called Tyan

Sitting on its own overlooking the wildflower meadows of the farm, Tyan is our second member of the Crake Trees Manor Tree, Shepherds Hut family.

I bought the hut as a well made but very sad Shepherds Hut hidden in the corner of a field in south Cumbria. It was a struggle even to get her transported home, but she immediately looked much happier at Crake Trees.

Mike and Colin, our joiner set to work. New verandah using our own Oak, recycled steel, new steps, and a new door that actually shut. A complete makeover of the paintwork, inside and out. A new bed, lights and heating, shelves for the kettle, even a phone charging point.

I found some lovely old Lloyd loom chairs, local wool curtains, and small nursing chairs that fit perfect on the verandah.

Also a Firepit to light as you sit watching the stars all above, and listen to that owl in the old ash tree.

Its just a few steps from the warm Shower block and shared stable Kitchen
