Business Shepherd's Huts

Give your guests a warm, cosy welcome with your own shepherd's hut based business...

Staycations are becoming ever more popular and there are many options to satisfy a rewarding holiday in the UK these days. There is an increasing appetite for low-carbon living and reduced flying time. For holiday makers on the lookout for something a little more luxurious, a stay in a well marketed, perfectly crafted Plankbridge shepherd’s hut will be irresistible. Nestled in the great outdoors but with all the amenities of a tiny house, (some say the kitchen is nicer than their one at home!) it presents the perfect balance between adventure and comfort. They’ll enjoy having an entire hut homestead to themselves, in a glamorous encampment, while safe in the knowledge that their hosts won’t be too far away, should they need anything. First impressions are key: guests arriving after a long journey will walk in and say ‘Wow’.

Glamping in a Shepherd's Huts

Perhaps you’ll host couples for long weekends via AirBnB in one carefully positioned shepherd’s hut, or maybe you’ll develop a larger enterprise by positioning several shepherd’s huts with strategic landscaping.

Either way, establishing your own hut-based business is rewarding and great fun. The knowledgeable Plankbridge team are here to help and we have years of experience assisting with successful glamping start-ups.

What people are saying...

We have been up & running as a B&B at The Hut Eyam for 10 years now & couldn’t be happier with our little green hut. In our opinion no other huts compare.
Rachel Smith
We really love our two Shepherd's Huts, and as a B&B our guests do too..... the quality and finish of Plankbridge's work is constantly picked up and they still look immaculate. Super care taken by the team throughout the build, installation and in their aftercare. I can't recommend them highly enough.
Melanie P
Staying in a Plankbridge shepherds hut has been one of the best experiences I’ve had this year. I'd never stayed in a shepherd’s hut of any kind before this point. The hot shower, beautiful kitchen, small wood-burning stove and really comfy bed was delightful. Can't wait to get one of my own.
Ed Smit
We have two Plankbridge shepherd’s huts on our Glamping site and love them. All our guests comment on how fantastic they are. The attention to detail, finish and customer service is spot on!
