Stunning Lakeside Shepherd's Hut - Hot Tub & Sauna

Helions Bumpstead, Essex

2

Helions Bumpstead, located in the picturesque region of Essex in the East of England, offers a charming retreat for couples seeking tranquility and nature. This stunning shepherd's hut, designed to accommodate two guests, is nestled in a serene lakeside setting at the back of a working farm and equestrian center. With modern decor and thoughtful amenities, the hut provides a cozy escape complete with a firepit and BBQ for outdoor cooking. Visitors can also indulge in a wood-fired hot tub for a small fee, enhancing their relaxation experience amidst the natural beauty surrounding them.

The hut is strategically positioned next to a two-acre carp lake, which was excavated in 2018 and is now home to a selective stock of 100 fish, including mirrors and commons weighing up to 25 pounds. The lake's fishing is known to be challenging yet rewarding, with a significant portion of the fish exceeding 20 pounds and many having never been caught. This feature not only appeals to avid anglers but also adds an adventurous element to the stay. For horse owners, the site allows for the option to bring their horses, providing a dedicated paddock visible from the hut and access to a private 5k cross-country track for riding enthusiasts.

Access to the hut and its surroundings is through the main yard, which encompasses the farm and equestrian facilities, ensuring a sense of seclusion from the more active areas of the property. With only three shepherd's huts located near the lake, guests can enjoy privacy and a peaceful atmosphere. The site is conveniently situated in Castle Camps, just a short drive from Haverhill and approximately 25 minutes from the bustling city center of Cambridge, where visitors can explore a variety of attractions and amenities. For those looking to unwind, the area is rich in local pubs and farm cafés, with recommendations provided in a welcome pack upon arrival.

While the location offers a rural retreat, it is essential to note that public transport options are limited. Guests can enjoy scenic drives or leisurely bike rides to nearby towns. The surrounding landscape is dotted with footpaths and green lanes, perfect for exploring the natural beauty of the region. Additionally, visitors can engage in various activities such as golfing and winery tours, or simply immerse themselves in the tranquility of the lakeside environment. This idyllic shepherd's hut experience in Helions Bumpstead promises a perfect blend of relaxation, adventure, and connection with nature.
