There's a quiet kind of magic when you step inside a shepherd's hut - it's deeply rooted in the landscape around it. A space that feels entirely your own, where time slows and simplicity kicks in. Our beautifully crafted, movable Shepherds Huts have all the comfort and character of a cabin, minus the complexity of a permanent build.
Whether you're creating a glamping site, hosting guests, or simply carving out a peaceful garden escape, a shepherd's hut offers a practical, charming solution to a very modern need for flexible space.
What is a Shepherd's Hut?
A shepherd's hut is a compact, insulated timber structure on wheels – once used in fields, now reimagined for modern living. It's ideal for:
- Glamping and holiday let accommodation
- Garden guest rooms or work-from-home studios
- Therapy rooms, wellness retreats, or creative spaces
- Off-grid living on rural or underused land
If planning constraints, limited space, or a desire for something truly special are holding you back from expanding, a shepherd's hut might just be the perfect workaround – and opportunity.
Designed Around You – What's Included?
No two huts we build are the same. That's the point.
We start with your vision and shape every element to suit how you want to use the space. Each build includes:
- Fully insulated timber frame for year-round comfort
- Customisable layout – sleeping, kitchenette, bathroom, workspace
- Off-grid options – solar, composting toilets, rainwater systems
- Handcrafted interiors using high-quality, sustainable materials
- Compliant as a movable structure for planning flexibility
- On-site delivery and installation with minimal disruption
From sleek minimalism to rustic charm, we tailor every detail – finishes, fittings, and furnishings – to your taste and purpose.
Who It's For – And Why They Love It
Over the years, we've built huts for a surprising mix of people. Some run boutique glamping sites near Polzeath, others have added a guest space beside a stone cottage in Wadebridge or tucked one into a Fowey garden to use as a quiet writing room.
If you're:
- A glamping site owner looking to stand out
- A homeowner wanting flexible space without a full extension
- A landowner exploring new income ideas
- A therapist or wellness practitioner needing a dedicated, private setting
- Or just someone who dreams of a cosy, off-grid bolthole…
Then a shepherd's hut might be the most cost-effective, beautiful way to bring that vision to life.
Our Build & Delivery Process
We aim to make the process as enjoyable as the outcome:
Design Consultation
We explore your ideas, layout needs, and style preferences.
Workshop Build
Your hut is crafted in our local workshop, with check-ins at key stages.
Site Preparation Guidance
We help you prepare for delivery with clear instructions.
Delivery & Installation
We bring your finished hut to site, position it, and ensure its level and secure.
Aftercare Support
From advice on seasonal care to optional maintenance visits.
Because each hut is classed as a mobile structure, many clients avoid the stress of full planning applications – but we'll help you check what's required in your area.
Why Choose Our Huts Over Alternatives
There's an integrity to things built by hand. Our huts aren't churned out in factories. They're shaped by skilled craftspeople who care about the grain of the wood, the feel of a door handle, the comfort of a small space done well.
Here's what sets us apart:
Craftsmanship-first approach
Every hut is built to order
Local knowledge
We understand the Cornish climate, planning quirks, and delivery logistics
Genuine sustainability
Natural materials, minimal waste, off-grid options

Dedicated support
We're here long after your hut is in place
From Newquay to St Austell and across Cornwall, we've delivered huts that blend beautifully into their surroundings – and into people's lives.
Frequently Asked Questions
A shepherd's hut isn't just a structure; it's a lifestyle shift. It's the moment a patch of garden becomes a sanctuary, or an idle field becomes an income stream. If you've been craving more space, more flexibility, or just a quiet place of your own, a bespoke hut could be the start of something truly special.
Do I need planning permission for a shepherd's hut?
In many cases, no. Especially if it's movable and used for personal use or temporary accommodation. Always check with your local authority.
Can it have a full bathroom and kitchen?
Absolutely. We often include showers, toilets, sinks, and compact kitchenettes – designed to make the most of every inch.
What's included in the base price?
Our base models include insulation, cladding, flooring, and basic electrics. Custom features like bathrooms, bespoke joinery or solar systems are priced separately.
