Shepherd's Hut Running Costs Checklist

To help calculate your running costs, we recommend considering the following checklist. Add up the costs for a year and you’ll have an approximate running cost figure to drop in to the calculator.

  • Maintenance and repairs (well-built shepherd’s huts should require little maintenance above that which you’d expect to carry out in any holiday cottage)
  • Utilities (water, electricity, oil or gas. And don’t forget wood if you have a wood burner)
  • Consumables (for example, toiletries and hampers)
  • Laundry
  • Cleaning
  • Booking site fees (remember companies like AirBnB charge a booking commission)
