Shepherds Hut Glamping Sudbury Suffolk
Borleymere offers Luxury Glamping in Suffolk in a romantic Shepherds Hut for two. Situated in the beautiful Stour Valley on the Essex, Suffolk border you’ll be in the wild but with all the luxury comforts you could wish for. The Shepherds Hut is completely secluded with no near neighbours, no farm buildings, no other huts. The surrounding meadows, woodland and lake are all yours for your stay.
Enjoy some peace and quiet, lie in a hammock listening to the trees rustling and the birds singing, sit in the dinghy and watch the wildlife at play on the lake or enjoy glorious walks through the surrounding countryside.
Located less than two hours drive from London and if you want to come by train (Liverpool Street – Sudbury) we are very happy to pick you up and drop you back to Sudbury station.

Hand built to our own specification the hut has used traditional materials and we have made design quality and comfort a priority. Everything is designed to have a minimal impact on the environment.
