The Shepherd's Hut at Anvil House brings nothing but a sense of calm and relaxation to all who are lucky enough to spend a few nights here, set next to a private lake with views over the water from all the windows. As you step up to the hut you are greeted with an open plan living space. At one end is a double bed, complete with a memory foam mattress and cotton bed linen. There is storage space under the bed as well as a cleverly hidden table which can be pulled out with two rattan chairs for those cosy evenings when it is too cold to sit outside for supper. The kitchen area is complete with a fridge, double induction hob, butler sink and an Everhot which has oven space as well as keeping the hut toasty and warm. At the opposite end of the hut to the bed is the bathroom complete with a shower, WC, basin and heated towel rail.
Outside is a decked area with a table and chairs looking out over the water. The best place to sit back and enjoy your favourite tipple while the sun goes down and stars come out. Feel free to bring your fishing gear, there are plenty of fish in the lake.

We booked this for a romantic weekend away and it did not disappoint. The surrounding area was peaceful and the hut was very comfortable. Overall, a great way to switch off from busy life for a weekend. Thanks again!

Our stay at the Shephard’s hut was perfect. It is in a beautiful and peaceful location, looking over the reservoir. The property was clean and very functional, with everything you could need for a short stay. There were clear instructions for how to find the property and the host was very thoughtful, turning to light on so it was easier to find when arriving in the dark. It was a short walk to a lovely local pub and within driving distance of lots of beautiful places within Suffolk. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely again!

For a peaceful escape in a beautiful location, the little shepherd’s hut is perfect! We listened to the birds, watched ducks and moorhens, and after dark saw hundreds of stars. The cosy, brilliantly designed and well equipped hut is a lovely base for exploring Suffolk.
