Snug & Secluded Lakeside Shepherds Hut 'Carp'

Booked ‘Carp’ shepherds hut for 2 nights for my partners birthday, with two dogs, the property was easy to find, and communication from host was perfect, we were greeted on arrival and shown around, we had asked for the fridge to be stocked with meat which it was. The shepherds hut itself was even nicer than expected, and there really was everything you’d need in there. The owners have clearly put a lot of thought into what guests may need. The shepherds hut was absolutely spotless and smelled lovely, bed was comfortable and there was a good amount on storage under the bed. The dogs had the best time walking around the grounds and watching the carp from our decking both sleeping like babies all night! In summary, lovely attentive hosts, beautiful location, cosy clean accommodation, will definitely return, with our fishing rods next time. X

We spent two nights at Hastingford Fishery in the Roach shepherd’s hut and had a truly wonderful stay. It’s a peaceful sanctuary, perfect for unwinding. Geraldine and Mark were incredibly kind and thoughtful—outstanding hosts. The hut was spotless and well-equipped, with a smart TV, WiFi, a log burner, fire pit, BBQ, and everything needed for cooking. The bathroom was modern and clean, and the swimming lake was a real bonus. Surrounded by nature, we spotted countless birds. Highly recommended—thank you, Geraldine and Mark, for your amazing hospitality!

What an absolute gem of a find! I live just 15 minutes away, but it felt like I was in my own peaceful partnof the world. We stayed in the Carp Hut, which was spotless, incredibly comfortable, and absolutely beautiful. Yoy dont need to be a fisherman to enjoy the huts. And although im not, I could still appreciate how much Mark cares for his lakes and stock. The cabin was fully stocked with everything we could possibly need – every utensil and supply you could think of was there. Mark even baked fresh bread and pastries for us in the morning, which, along with the fresh milk, juice, eggs, and butter, was the perfect. The land is perfect for leisurely walks, and Mark made sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay whilst we were there and Geraldine so wonderful, she was all over the booking - making sure we had everything we needed before, and after. This is certainly going to be a regular escape for me! – just book it! You won’t regret it!
