With just three encampments, each begging to be explored, you'll have the opportunity to make friends with other visitors whilst also being able to take valuable time out from the distractions of everyday life. Alternatively, if you want the site all to yourself, we can accommodate parties of up to ten people. Each encampment has a barbeque and a private hot tub, from which you can watch the stars in peace, except for the occasional crackle of the wood-fired stove. There is electricity and hot water in each encampment, so you don't have to live completely off-grid! The site was freshly remodelled in 2023\. Our new farm shop features gourmet, hand-prepared ready meals from the nearby Deli, perfect for those lazy days. Plenty of delicious local produce is also on offer, meaning you can visit us without the stress of a supermarket shop! The helpful visitor information section in the shop includes our new 'Wander Wall', where you'll find details of local hikes and activities for all ages and abilities. Your friendly host Tam can also give you recommendations for things to do throughout your stay in addition to those provided in your handbook. The quaint market town of Church Stretton is a five-minute drive away, where you'll find small, independent shops and Carding Mill Valley, a very popular spot for walkers. The larger towns of Shrewsbury and Ludlow make for an excellent day-trip. If you fancy an evening meal, there are three high quality pubs within a 3-mile radius. Our hand-crafted, locally-made Shepherds' Huts suit the historic nature of the area perfectly. With a cosy woodburning stove, underfloor heating, a full-sized double bed complete with Egyptian cotton linen, an en-suite bathroom and a kitchenette, there's everything you'd expect of a luxury holiday and more. We offer a variety of extras which can be booked during the checkout process. These include breakfast and BBQ hampers, a glass bottle of fresh milk which can be refilled at the next-door organic dairy, and an entertainment set for children. Well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome - there is a small additional charge for cleaning. All of us at Acton Scott work hard to enrich its appeal to visitors and we are confident you will have a restorative and memorable holiday with us. \[Please note that Acton Scott Heritage Farm is currently closed for essential maintenance until Spring 2024\] ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Designated smoking areas ### Services and conveniences - Change of bedsheets (on request) - Change of towels on request ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village ### Things to do - Bicycle parking ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - 100% renewable energy - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - At least 80% of food locally-sourced - Bed sheets changed on request - Bicycle parking - Bulk dispensers for toiletries - Cleaning products are eco-friendly - Comprehensive food waste policy - Comprehensive recycling policy - Double-glazed windows - Eco-friendly toiletries - Humane treatment of captive wild animals - Local artist showcase - Local culture and ecosystem education - Locally-owned and organised tours and activities - No plastic coffee stirrers - No plastic drinking straws - No plastic soft drink bottles - No plastic water bottles - Property does not allow children - Reusable coffee/tea filters - Reusable cups - Reusable tableware - Towels (changed on request) - Unit size: 129 square feet - Water-efficient toilets ## Similar properties ![Spa](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/112000000/111690000/111681100/111681037/d01f457c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Ensuite Wooden Cabin With Hot Tub Tamworth - Hot tub - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Free Wi-Fi 8.8 Excellent 8 reviews £181 includes taxes & fees 24 Feb - 25 Feb [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-24&endDate=2026-02-25&selected=111681037&PinnedHotelID=111681037&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![1 bedroom, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/102000000/101950000/101947500/101947438/77604cff.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Red Kite Shepherd's Hut with Private Hot Tub in Ancient Woodland Acton Scott - Hot tub - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Parking available 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-24&endDate=2026-02-25&selected=101947438&PinnedHotelID=101947438&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) [Compare similar properties](/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-24&endDate=2026-02-25&selected=101947434&PinnedHotelID=101947434&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2&comparePropertyIds=101947434,111681037,101947438) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM Minimum check-in age - 25 ### Check-out Check-out before 10:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions Information provided by the property may be translated using automated translation tools ### Pets Pets are allowed Service animals are welcome, and are exempt from fees ### Children and extra beds This property does not allow children ### Events Events allowed ### Smoking Smoking allowed: in designated areas ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a professional host.
