Summer in a Hut in the Woods: Your Luxury Shepherd’s Hut Escape at Crabtree
Imagine waking up to birdsong, the smell of wild flower meadows drifting through your window, and golden sunlight filtering through the trees. At Crabtree in the Woods, our secluded huts in the woods offers the perfect setting for a peaceful, luxurious summer escape. Whether you're longing for a romantic retreat, a quiet solo getaway, or a creative recharge, this is where you’ll find space to breathe.
What Makes Summer in a Hut in the Woods So Special?
There’s no better time to reconnect with nature than in the summer months, when the woods are alive with colour, sound and scent. Staying in one of our shepherd’s huts during summer means:
Long, light-filled days to explore or simply do nothing at all
Alfresco dining on your private deck surrounded by wildflowers
Starry nights with nothing but owls and a crackling fire for company
Outdoor hot tub in the heart of the woods —one of the most-loved feature by our guests of The Sett
Your hut in the woods isn’t just somewhere to stay. It’s an experience that invites you to slow down, unplug and let the seasons set your pace.
Our Shepherd’s Huts: A Blend of Comfort and Wilderness
Each of our luxury shepherd’s huts are tucked into its own private pocket of woodland. Inside, you’ll find handcrafted interiors, a comfy kingsize bed dressed in luxury crisp bedding, a kitchen stocked with essentials, and a wood-burning stove for cooler nights. Step outside and you’ll find a seating area perfect for your morning coffee or evening wine, and a path leading straight into the trees.
In summer, the forest comes alive: butterflies drift across your path, the whole woodland hums with energy and even deer are known to wander through the glades at dusk. But don’t worry, our huts are completely insulated and filled with creature comforts.

What to Do During Your Stay (or Not Do…)
One of the best parts of staying in a hut in the woods is having the freedom to do as much or as little as you like. Some of our favourite summer pastimes include:
Woodland walks: Meander through ancient oaks and sun-dappled clearings
Outdoor reading: Curl up with a book and let time drift
Hiking in The Lake District: We’re within reach of some of the most well known Wainwrights!
Picnic lunches: We’ll happily share our favourite scenic spots nearby
But perhaps the most nourishing thing of all is doing nothing. No screens. No traffic. Just you, nature, and a truly restful space.
