Swallows Hut

Escape to Shakespeare country and stay in this bespoke shepherd’s hut, surrounded by 9 acres of green pastureland – a memorably romantic retreat for two. Nestled amongst the rolling hills surrounding Alcester, this unique holiday destination offers peace, privacy and easy access to some of Warwickshire’s most popular attractions.

Alcester itself is a charming market town, home to tearooms, boutiques, country pubs and quality restaurants, all set amongst historic buildings and medieval architecture. Visit Coughton Court (5 miles) and explore the magnificent gardens, or take a day trip to Warwick Castle (14 miles).

Stratford-upon-Avon, the region’s most famous destination, lies just 7 miles away and offers plenty to discover. Learn more about the life of William Shakespeare by visiting Shakespeare’s Birthplace and Anne Hathaway’s Cottage, before taking in a performance at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre.

For a taste of the Cotswolds, visit Broadway or Chipping Campden, both within 13 miles. On arrival, take a moment to savour the tranquillity of this idyllic setting, listening to the breeze rustling through the surrounding trees and admiring the far-reaching countryside views.

When you're ready to head inside, step up into the shepherd’s hut and discover a calming interior, finished in soft, neutral tones with a thoughtful blend of traditional and contemporary design. The kitchenette and living space are neatly arranged in a studio-style layout, with a comfortable double bed positioned at one end and a wood burner providing cosy warmth at the other.

Offering a versatile arrangement, the double bed folds away whilst not in use, revealing a spacious dining area. Above the bed, a skylight frames the dark, starry skies, inviting you to enjoy a spot of stargazing without even stepping outside.

A separate shower room sits just off the main living space, complete with modern fixtures and a walk-in shower. Outside, the inviting outdoor area is designed for making the most of sunny days and clear evenings.
