About Packhorse Shepherd's Hut

Packhorse Shepherd's Hut in Wirksworth is a single open space on one level: a double bed at one end, a kitchen and dining area, somewhere to sit, and a shower room with a walk-in shower, a basin and a WC. Small buildings succeed or fail on how carefully they are arranged, and the pleasure of a hut is that whatever you need is within reach of wherever you are standing.

Cooking is deliberately simple, with a hotplate, a microwave and a minifridge, which suits the kind of stay a hut is made for: something quick, something warm, eaten outside when the weather allows. Fuel and power are included in the rent along with bed linen and towels, and an electric heater takes the edge off a cold night.

Outside there is decking with furniture, reached by a few steps up, and off-road parking for two cars. Pets are welcome. A pub is 0.8 miles away, close enough to walk, and the nearest shop is 3.1 miles. The hut is let to adults, which keeps the evenings quiet. It suits guests who intend to be outdoors most of the day and want somewhere warm, dry and uncomplicated to come back to, rather than a house that needs looking after.
