Millstream Camp - Ludlow, Shropshire
Sleeps 2 adults, with the tipi as a day space. Children cannot be accommodated at Millstream Camp, but pets are welcome as long as they do not enter the hut
This charmingly ramshackle camp consists of two very different spaces that go together to make a lovely self-contained escape. The shepherd's hut serves as the sleeping quarters and the tipi, decked out with old Indian saris, campaign trunks and a lacquered table makes a great day space. There's even an old wind-up record player for 78s! As well as the two day beds to lounge around on, you also have the hammock and an outdoor seating area by the stream. Lower the tin bucket into the water and put a good bottle of white in to cool. On occasion, in hot weather, the stream is dammed at the mill to create a natural bathing pool.
Food and cooking are an essential part of a Millstream camp holiday. Carolyn runs some great cookery courses on site and tours of local producers, called "food safaris", with ample opportunity for snacking. And Carolyn's dinners and breakfasts are something else. Take a look at "eating and drinking" or "local activities" for details. Back at the camp you can use the BBQ, the wood-burner or the campfire to hone the skills from the course or put the spoils of the safari to use. There is also a gas hob, so you can have plenty of pans on the go.
There's a vegetable patch and Carolyn can arrange a stash of local produce for your arrival, but if you run out of the essentials, the village of Leintwardine is a lovely half hour walk away along the riverside. The hut is stocked with magnifying glasses, local wildlife guides and a specimen case, so the walk, like most things at Lower Buckton, can become an adventure.

“We very much enjoyed our stay. Everything was delightful, it was one of the most lovely trips away ever.”

"I took my girlfriend to Lower Buckton as a birthday surprise, and what a wonderful experience! Carolyn was an amazing host and took us on a wonderful food safari where we tasted some delicious charcuterie and slow roasted pork. The camp itself was lovely, well presented and full of character which is exactly what we wanted."

"I really enjoyed the hut it was warm, especially with the log burner going, and thoughtfully decorated. The setting is key to it all with a stream bubbling by, fields all around and being able to see the star clearly every night."
