Shepherd’s hut holidays in Herefordshire

Get back to nature in bijou luxury on a shepherd’s hut holiday in Herefordshire. Staying in rural seclusion, you just need to throw open the front door to find incredible walking trails stretching off into the distance. Follow them and you’ll stumble upon wild swimming spots and timber-framed inns with roaring fires and idyllic beer gardens. Cuddle up under blankets on the deck of your hut at night and marvel at how bright the stars appear without any light pollution. Tucked into the Welsh border, the spectacular Herefordshire countryside rivals the Dordogne with its lush river valleys, rolling hills and medieval towns. It's so picturesque, it even inspired Narnia.

Why book a shepherd's hut break with Canopy & Stars?

We’re a discerning bunch at Canopy & Stars, and although we love sheep, we don’t follow the flock when it comes to shepherd huts. We only welcome spaces into our collection that have something special – a deep connection to nature, a respect for the local environment and a unique, playful design that guarantees a memorable stay. We visit and inspect every one of our shepherd’s huts in Herefordshire staying overnight to test the hot tubs, sleep in the beds and whip up a hearty supper on the outdoor BBQs. To delay our departure, we might go for an invigorating hike in the Malverns or a quick kayak on the Wye before reluctantly tearing ourselves away.

Our shepherd's hut holidays in Herefordshire Our shepherd’s huts hark back to a simpler time and are found in some of the most peaceful spots in Herefordshire, perched under big skies and among areas of outstanding natural beauty. We’ve got Hikki hot tubs looking out over acres of farmland, complementary ukuleles, riverside firepits and hedgerows to forage in.

What to do in Herefordshire If your perfect holiday includes books, boats and breathtaking walks, you’ve come to the right place. The Wye is the jewel in the crown of the stunning Herefordshire countryside and over 100 miles of it are navigable by canoes and kayaks. In one direction from the snaking river valley, you’ll glimpse the dramatic peaks of the Black Mountain, and in the other direction, the open hilltops and wooded slopes of the Malverns — paradise for ramblers and cyclists. World famous Hay-on-Wye is a must-visit to browse the countless bookshops and explore the art galleries, antiques shops and eateries.

We’re the highest scoring B-Corp in travel in the world and we’ve set ourselves some ambitious goals including net zero carbon by 2030. We never rest on our laurels and we’re also looking at ways to improve access to nature for disadvantaged young people and those with disabilities.
