Hilly Huts
NEW for 2017 at The Fish are five ‘Hilly Huts’. Nestled
into the hillside with beautiful Cotswolds views, these
luxury Shepherd Huts are rustic and romantic. Each
hut is cosy, comfortable and private.
Perfect for all year round stays, our Hilly Huts have
underfloor heating and a lounge area with sofa and
wood burner to snuggle up in front of.We have also
kitted them out with all the mod cons you would
expect, including smart TV and free wifi.
Naturally we have tea and coffee making facilities and
a stonking mini bar. If you’re feeling peckish you can
order room service, which will arrive to your hut by
the team via golf buggy.
Finally, there is no need to worry about scrabbling

comes with its own en-suite bathroom with walk-in
power shower.

A bit of background
•
The earliest traces of Shepherd Huts goes
back as far as the 16th century and the reign of Queen
Elizabeth 1, although most recognised thinking says that
Huts became popular in the 18th and 19th centuries.
•
As the name suggests the original use of huts
was on farms, where farmers would use whatever
material they had to make them.
•
Use of huts was at its peak in the 19th
century, but then started to become less popular as
mechanical machinery started to appear on farms and
estates in the early 20th century.
•
The Shepherd hut was intended to provide
practical accommodation for a shepherd and was
really a complete home rolled into one, with kitchen,
bedroom, dining room and lounge all being housed
under the one small roof.
•
Things have changed a bit and now, like
The Fish, Shepherd Huts are used as a fun and very
romantic accommodation option for hotels, as offices
and as garden snugs in private houses.
•
Today Shepherd Huts are typically hand
crafted and are made from a mixture of oak and
corrugated and foundry cast steel.
