Plum Guide - Shepherd's Hut

Here's a plan – spend a long weekend in Wells-next-the-Sea on a relaxing break. It'll be easy to switch off, as there's no WiFi in this home. The town is gorgeous, the sea looks amazing, and you get to stay in a shepherd's hut that looks like it's been cut out from a modern fairytale. There's lots to talk about in this home, namely the fact that it's an absolute labour of love whose soul comes out in the most unexpected places, like the colourful crockery. The compact space is beautifully cosy, but if you want a little more space to stretch your legs in the afternoon, you always have the outdoor spot free for a bottle of wine and some stargazing. Shepherd's Hut comes with its own lifestyle as it's also semi off-grid. You wake up, you put the kettle on the wood-burning stove, you take it slow, and you recharge — and that's priceless. Home truths:*It's semi off-grid as the electricity is partially supplied by a solar panel*There's a wood burner to heat up the home in colder months*It's a little less luxurious than some of our other homes but it makes up for it with character and a peaceful setting* The kitchen is on the more basic side – don't expect to cook up big meals here* There is no WiFi in this home* The water pressure can run low during the busy periods when the campsite is full
