Smithyfields Shepherds Huts
Smithyfields
Escape your everyday. Experience a haven of relaxation and calm at this small yet perfectly formed glamping site.
Situated in the picturesque Derbyshire village of Alstonefield is Smithyfields. Small and exclusively for adults, this is a peaceful spot, ideal for a country escape. Are you looking for a hiker’s paradise? A base to explore from, or a homely hut to relax in? Smithyfields has exactly what you’re looking for. The two Shepherd’s Huts; Bertie’s Hut and Bailey’s View, have been expertly and locally crafted to an exacting standard. Beautifully pulled together, Bertie’s has the use of the on-site facilities. While Bailey’s View, being that little bit larger, is completely self-sufficient and features extra luxurious touches. Situated together in the private Croft, parking is very close to hand. While pup pals are also very welcome to join you in Bertie’s Hut.
Inside
The smaller of the two, Bertie’s Hut is ideal for a weekend getaway for two. With a full-size double bed, seating area and indoor dining. A kitchenette, including cooking facilities and a fridge. You’ll find lovely, warm site facilities just twenty yards away. Plus, Wi-Fi and a television. Stylish yet homely, the space is warmed by a log burner for the ultimate in cosiness.
For a longer stay, or if you just fancy ramping up the luxury an extra notch, try Bailey’s View. Completely self-contained, with its own bathroom, featuring a walk-in shower. A fully functioning kitchen, and a romantic bedroom nook. A dining and seating area with a television. And keep online with Wi-Fi. While the central heating will ensure you’re deliciously toasty whatever the weather. With a beautiful, high end finish Bailey’s View is the ultimate glamping treat.
Outside
A morning coffee at the bistro set on your private deck is a must. Enjoy those far-reaching views of open countryside and allow the sense of space to calm the mind. Refuel after an active day out with dinner grilled to perfection on the gas BBQ. Then retire to the additional seating in the walled garden. Grab yourself your favourite drink and snuggle up close with a blanket. Watch as dusk falls and the stars appear. All whilst enjoying the company of each other against the warming glow of the firepit.
Nearby
Smithyfields is the perfect location to give those hiking boots a good airing. Trek across the many beautiful dales and peaks, including the beautiful Dovedale area. Then pop in for a delicious cream tea at National Trust owned, Ilam Park. Explore historic market towns, with the vibrant Ashbourne nearby, and famed Bakewell and Buxton being easily drivable. Take a cable car flight to glorious views and cavern tours at The Heights of Abraham. And for thrill seekers, you’re just twenty-five minutes from some hair-raising rides at Alton Towers. And for those celebrating something special – or simply just because. Make sure you book a table at The George. An easily walkable, award-winning and Michelin recognised pub turned restaurant.
