Secluded Shepherd's Hut in Norfolk

North Walsham, England · 1 unit
Located on a rural farm near Aylsham in the heart of Norfolk, our handcrafted Shepherd's Hut sits on a secluded water-meadow overlooking a small stream. Available, between April and October, the meadow setting offers a genuine sense of seclusion, with fields, wildlife and open skies all around.
Sleeping two, the hut has a traditional feel, made from wood, insulated with lambswool and mounted on cast-iron wheels from a local foundry.
Inside, a comfortable double bed, a wood-burning stove and table and chairs create a wonderfully cosy retreat for two. The stove-top kettle means you can brew up without stepping outside, and a welcome box of tea, coffee, sugar, salt, pepper and cooking oil, plus your first basket of logs, ensures a warm and welcoming arrival. There is no mains electricity in the hut or on the meadow, making it a natural choice for those looking for a proper digital detox.
Step outside to your own private fire-pit, which doubles as a barbecue with tools provided — ideal for alfresco meals and long, lazy evenings under the stars. With no streetlights anywhere on the farm, the night sky here is truly spectacular. A covered outdoor shelter nearby means you can sit out and enjoy the wildlife and countryside views whatever the weather.
For cooking and washing up, guests have exclusive use of an indoor kitchen in a nearby converted outbuilding, complete with a fridge, microwave, single hob, electric kettle, and a set of crockery and cutlery provided free of charge. The private bathroom features a WC, sink and an excellent shower — just the thing after a long walk or a dip in the river. Devices can be charged in the kitchen.
The hut sits in a secluded spot overlooking a stream — a tributary of the River Bure — where you can fish, paddle or simply sit and watch the wildlife go by. Pets are welcome and guests are encouraged to explore the wider farm, which is also home to resident artists including a stone-carver and potter. Pets are welcome and one or two tents can be pitched alongside the hut (at additional cost).
North Farm is located in Burgh next Aylsham, with Norwich around 15 miles to the south, Blickling Estate just a short drive away, as the Norfolk Broads and coast.
Please note we only accept children over 8 due to the log-stove and stream.

This was a fantastic place for my first camp of the year! I only just discovered it this year and it's a great local asset to me; very convenient to get to but still feels nice and rural. Silas is a great host and I can tell he puts a lot of work and care into the site and I really look forward to returning regularly to how it develops.
I just had my hammock with me and he was really helpful and finding the best spot for me, which had a great view across the fields for an excellent sunset view. I also have to mention all the animals on the site, which really added to the atmosphere. I definitely had a fun wild camping experience without going too off-grid. I would definitely recommend it as a low-key place to unwind and enjoy.

The place is really nice and gets us away from the screen off our phones. The host is amazing and even let us try some goats milk. The goats are really relaxed as well as the donkey and shetland pony. The chickens made me laugh and it was really nice waking up to the roosters in the morning. The trees we camped next to offered some shade during the sunny day, and it is where we put the hammock to chill in. Its a really good way to get away from busy life to chill out with no distractions (other than the chickens wanting to explore around you or watching the baby goat getting the zoomies😂)
-Ella
A really lovely spot with loads of animals and incredible views with walkways along the canal around the corner.
We camped in a tent for a couple nights. The host was really friendly and incredibly accommodating. Offered us free fresh eggs which were really tasty. We really enjoyed petting the donkey and goats, and had a little visitor one morning (One of the many chickens decided to check up on us). We also headed to nearby Ely and Cambridge which we took the bus.
Overall an incredibly beautiful and quiet place with an amazing host. Will definitely be coming again in the future 😁

We loved our time here. We were made very welcome and it was just perfect for us. Very quiet and peaceful at night. It was just us pitched up during our stay. Lovely flat grass surface for the campervan. Our dogs enjoyed themselves and loved watching Chicken TV! Resident dog Bear is an absolute hoot! So funny and a real character. We will definitely be back.

This has got to be one of the best campsites ever. The facilities are incredible, surrounded by trees, walkable distance to a brewery, cafe and broad and never too busy even when fully booked. I'm actually hesitant to write this review as I want to keep the secret to myself!

Really great little tucked away spot. Was lovely that it was only us there as the site only caters for minimal pitch ups. Very peaceful and quiet.
There were chickens roaming free and a pony on site.
Silas (the host) was very friendly and allowed us to help ourselves to fruit from the trees and eggs from the coop.
Compost loo was clean and tidy.
Pleasant walk from the site along the canal.
We were also allowed to let our dog off lead on the site if we wished.

Rustic site which is just what we were after. Felt like we were staying with friends. Super friendly host who invited us to watch the sunset from his private corner. We all fell in love with his puppy, Bear, and it was lovely to have our dogs off leash in the site. Great off leash dog walk from the site as well, lovely walking along the canal.
Had a European/french feel. Even picked apples from their massive apple tree to make apple pie at home!
This was just a perfect stay, thanks for having us Silas and Bear, can’t wait to come back.
