The Bentley's Experience

A real getaway from everyday life.

Peter and Georgie's eight-acre smallholding — adjacent to the 1,700-acre Bentley Wood in West Tytherley — is the most idyllic spot for your stay, and they want to share its beauty and tranquillity with you.

The name comes from the local landscape: the smallholding sits beside part of Bentley Wood, gifted into trust by Lady Colman. We chose it because it belongs to this place, and so does the hut.

Here you get back in touch with nature — and yet enjoy every trapping of luxury accommodation. Wind your way along a path a hundred yards or so down to the hut, a Victorian wooden wheelbarrow trundling behind you with the luggage. The hut sits in its own area, surrounded by traditional chestnut sheep hurdles, with nothing but trees, sky and birdsong for company.

Your Accommodation

One hut. One field.
Just the two of you.

The Shepherd's Hut sleeps two adults in a comfortable double bed, with generous living space and thoughtful detail throughout. There is only the one hut — and the field is yours alone.

01

A Victorian wheelbarrow welcome

Wend your way down the path, luggage in tow aboard a hand-painted wooden wheelbarrow. The arrival is part of the magic.

02

Chestnut sheep hurdles

The hut sits enclosed by traditional hand-crafted chestnut hurdles, marking out a private garden that's entirely yours.

03

Scandinavian wood-fired hot tub

A beautifully crafted fresh-water tub sits beside the hut. Light the fire in the afternoon, sink in by sunset with a glass of Prosecco, and listen to the owls.

04

Radial decking for alfresco dining

A sweeping deck wraps round the hut — the perfect stage for breakfast in the morning sun and long dinners beneath the stars.

05

1,700 acres on your doorstep

Step out of the field and straight into Bentley Wood — one of southern England's most celebrated ancient woodlands.

A field of your own

Stars above. Steam rising.
Owls in the wood.

Relax in a beautifully crafted Scandinavian fresh-water wood-fired hot tub, where you can sip Prosecco as the sun drops and the wildlife wakes for the night shift. Or settle onto the radial decking for alfresco dining — long, slow suppers as the sky turns pink over Bentley Wood.
