Damsel Shepherds Hut

Amazing place to stay, it really had everything you could possibly need.

The area is so peaceful and quiet we assumed no-one else was on site, it was only on check out day that we saw other people checking out of the other lodges. Truly serene and a perfect relaxing 3 nights we had in the damsel hut. Would highly recommend.

The place is absolutly magical.

everything was perfact. it is even more beatiful and magical than in the pictures. Fishing around the lake, barbecue on the wood fire pit, hot tub and sauna, all surrounded by wildlife. It was a perfect couple break. Highly highly recommend. Best place i have been in the uk so far. (perfect for a romantic proposal i would say)!

A wonderful little place in a beautiful setting.

Everything is finished to a very high standard and the accommodation includes thermostat controlled central heating and is very well insulated (we stayed during a cold February). The hot tub and sauna are a fabulous addition and the hosts couldn't have been more friendly or helpful. We'll definitely be returning

We had a wonderfully relaxing stay.

Will and Sarah were very friendly and helpful. The Shepherds hut was warm and cosy and had everything we needed for our stay. The hot tub and sauna were a lovely added bonus. We would definitely stay again.

Perfect getaway for a couple!

The lodge is super cozy while still having a lot of features and the hot tub was perfect this winter too. The Wi-fi was a bit slow but in the area it's not suprising and it's perfect to tune out from screens for a few days. The owners were lovely and had great communication which made checking in super easy and stress free. Would absolutely go back again!

We had an amazing weekend, it was very relaxing and peaceful, lovely welcoming basket of goodies, beautiful hut and loved the hot tub and the sauna.

Owners were ever so friendly and helpful as well. Would definitely look at going back and would highly recommend to any couple looking forward a nice weekend away together to relax and recharge

A perfect tranquil hideaway.

Very clean and well equipped. Excellent local pub.

I booked this break for my husband’s birthday as he is a keen carp fisherman.

I hoped it would be good but it exceeded our expectations. On arrival there was a welcome basket and a birthday banner and a bar of chocolate for my hubby- a great touch. The shepherds hut is so well equipped with everything you need but outside your door is nature. The place is peaceful and tranquil and very well maintained. The hot tub was a lovely touch and there is a sauna in the garden area. The bed is high up but it was very comfortable and the pillows were the best. The hosts are so lovely. Everything ran smoothly and Sarah was very informative on arrival. The honesty shop is well equipped. My husband caught some carp in our own personal swim. The place is not overcrowded. Very well spaced out. Will definitely return.

Fantastic location and the shepherds hut was beautifully equipped.

Loved everything about it and would definitely come again

We had an absolute gorgeous weekend in the damsel shepherd's hut for a long weekend, the hut was gorgeous, so clean and fresh with plenty of amenities!

The site it absolute beautiful and soo peaceful. Would definitely stay again and would recommend to anyone looking to book it's so worth every penny

Absolutely beautiful

What a wonderful break we had here.

Absolutely everything was provided and the owners had obviously gone to a lot of trouble to ensure the entire hut had all the required facilities. I would absolutely recommend this place for a stay in a sublime location.

We have stayed in many uk lodges & cottages but this was our 1st shepherd hut & we were amazed at how unique it was,everything from a really comfy bed to hot shower & all kitchen essentials are perfectly formed in this lovely accommodation, the location is so peaceful & the lake & views with daily visits from the ducks was lovely, if you are a couple who just like total relaxation in beautiful surroundings then don't hesitate to book we will definitely come back hopefully sooner than later

Really nice and relaxing stay.

Staff were very helpful when we turned up.

We had the most magical 4-night romantic getaway at the Damsel Shepherd's Hut, and it truly exceeded all expectations.

From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with a lovely selection of sweets, coffee, and snacks — such a thoughtful touch that made us feel instantly at home. The hut itself was spotlessly clean, cozy, and stacked with absolutely everything you could possibly need — from the fully equipped kitchen to all the little extras that made our stay so comfortable and stress-free. The charming wood burner added such a warm, relaxing vibe in the evenings. The view from the bed window overlooking the lake was absolutely serene — waking up to that peaceful scene each morning was something we'll never forget. We spent our days fishing by the lakes and were thrilled with how many we caught — and to top it off, we were even able to enjoy some peaceful night fishing under the stars, which was such a unique and special experience. After a day outdoors, the hot tub and sauna were the perfect way to unwind — a touch of luxury in the heart of nature. Everything about this stay was perfect — tranquil, romantic, and wonderfully memorable. We can’t wait to return! Highly recommended for anyone looking to reconnect with nature and each other.

My partner and I stayed for a romantic Valentines weekend away and thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

The hut was cosy, the hot tub and sauna were lovely and we enjoyed exploring the surrounding area and Bury St Edmonds. We will definitely be back!

Damsel Shepherds Hut is fantastic the little extras like dressing gowns toiletries and the welcome pack are lovely.

We just wish we had booked the week we will definitely be back. Thank you Dave and Jackie

Had a lovely warm welcome and arrival.

The accommodation was absolutely idilic surrounded by a lake, accommodation felt very private and had everything we needed for perfectly comfortable stay, the hot tub and the sauna was the icing on the cake and the log burner inside the Shepard’s was lovely and made it feel warm and cosy. The onsite shop was a lovely and sold all your most needed necessities(Wine). Local pub was only a 10 minute walk and served lovely food as well as having friendly staff. Overall would definitely recommend!

Amazing property, exactly as described!

The hosts were amazing and extremely accommodating for us as we were not able to get there on the first day. The hosts were not available on the second day, but left clear and easy instructions for us to check in with no problems. A great place and I will be booking again in the future!

Beautiful little shepherd’s hut, set almost on its own island (with a short landbridge), as photos show!

Sarah was lovely, nothing was too much trouble, and the honesty shop was a nice touch. Comfy bed, ducks to feed & our own private hot-tub . . . bliss!!

Lovely place, clean and tidy but most of all, absolutely loved it here, the fishing was great and our Damsel Shepard's Hut was just perfect, the hot tub and sauna was great, just what we needed for a few days, a little break myself and my wife needed, will definitely be coming back.

On arrival we was greeted by a lovely lady Sarah, who gave us all the information we needed for our stay, very friendly, I will be recommending to our friends and family to come and stay. Thank you for a lovely time.

Wonderful stay highly recommend.

If you are thinking of booking do not hesitate, this is one not to be missed. The hut is so cosy and dreamy. Being able to wake up and get in the hot tub felt so luxurious, a great feature of this stay given how private it felt too. Facilities are great. The host couldn’t have been nicer or more welcoming. The on site mini shop was great and good value. Recommend for a solo get away or few nights as a couple. One to just sit, read a book and relax at. Lots of public footpaths nearby too for adventuring, I regularly saw a family of deer. Simply fantastic.

Absolutely perfect.

Wonderful surroundings. Lovely cosy and clean accommodation. Sauna and hot tub are a great addition that tops it all off. Will definitely recommend and return ourselves.

The welcome on our arrival, was the start to a perfect break.

The accommodation was clean and well presented and lived up to all of our expectations prior to our visit. The friendliness that was shown to us by Sarah placed us at ease and we had no issues or problems during our stay. The shop on site does not sell perishable goods like milk, bread, butter but there is a local store a short distance that you can purchase these products. All in all a good place for a break and well worth a repeat visit in the future.

Had a amazing time , everything we needed was there , so quite and secluded, owners were so lovely and welcoming, definitely a little piece of paradise and highly recommend

Amazing time.

Everything you could want for a few nights for peace and quiet!
