    “A lovely stay and idyllic location for a getaway.”

    The Shepherds Pightle is a delightful little space, very cosy and has everything you need. Great location for exploring some lovely walks without needing to drive anywhere. Only slight issue was we seemed to be plagued with ladybirds inside the hut, probably just time of year, but we had to 'remove' a large number over the few days we were there.

The property

Settled into a picturesque meadow in Hollesley and with countryside walks and cycling, Shepherds Pightle is a blue shepherds hut which has been converted into a fantastic holiday home for a couple looking to explore the countryside of Suffolk. Be delighted by this picturesque hut, painted blue and with a backdrop of countryside trees and meadows, parking off road and making yourself at home. The interior of this hut is all open plan, with wooden walls and ceiling adding character and a woodburning stove warming your feet in the colder months, and there is also a small kitchen with contemporary cupboards in greys and browns, as well as storage, a table for two and a double bed. This hut also has a fantastic little shower room where you can enjoy a relaxing soak at the end of the day. The landscape surrounding the hut is delightful, and you can enjoy this by dining alfresco and making use of the fire pit. Hollesley is a rural village which offers a pub and convenience store, where you can stock up on essentials before heading outside for a countryside walk at RSPB Hollesley, where you can make use of the local bird hides and see what wildlife is there. If you fancy a glimpse into the past, then a visit to the nearby village of Orford is a must, where the excellent Orford Castle and grounds can be enjoyed by guests. Travel further to Aldeburgh and you will be able to enjoy the selection of eateries, as well as the wonderful pebble beach where you and your significant other can take a stroll in the salty air. Create a special couple’s retreat with a stay at Shepherds Pightle.

About the location

HOLLESLEY

Woodbridge 8 miles; Ipswich 16 miles.

The Suffolk village of Hollesley is located in an area known as The Sandlings. A number of walks can be enjoyed from the village, including those to Suffolk’s internationally important coastal heathland, where you will discover the purple landscape rich with wildlife, and Rendelsham Forest is well worth a visit with its challenging bike park, play equipment, picnic area, circular walks and trails. Just outside Hollesley is the Suffolk Punch Trust, which is dedicated to preserving the endangered Punch Horse, whilst nearby is the historic market town of Woodbridge, offering riverside walks, independent shops and the world famous Tide Mill. Other places of interest include the National Trust owned Anglo Saxon burial mounds of Sutton Hoo, Framlingham and Orford Castle, the seaside town of Aldeburgh, the village of Thorpeness, Snape Maltings, and the attractive Suffolk coastline.

Note: If you wish to bring a dog it must be mentioned at the time of booking. Note: Sorry, no unaccompanied teenagers please.
