About this property

A traditional country experience

For those wanting the traditional country experience with added comfort and luxury, "The Look Out" Shepherd's Hut is just want you need.

Relocated from Edge Hill, Banbury in The Cotwolds, “The Look Out” is a nod to both the past and present; a traditional shepherd’s hut exterior with all the mod cons you need on the inside. Our beautiful shepherd’s hut was handmade by the skilled craftsmen at Riverside Shepherd Huts in Worcestershire; who continues to blend time-honoured techniques together with the benefits of modern technology and materials.

There is a fold-down double bed accompanied by a luxurious feather duvet and plump pillows with Egyptian cotton bed linen. Soft fluffy towels, slippers and bath robes are provided for your comfort during your stay. The kitchen has two electric rings and a full-size electric oven, integrated fridge with freezer compartment, along with kitchen utensils and tableware. There is also a modern bathroom with an electric shower, Moroccan ceramic basin and a regular flushing toilet.

Whether you are on a romantic getaway or a family holiday, "The Lookout" offers both comfort and luxury in a beautiful rural setting.  Additional accommodation can be provided for 1 child or adult on an inflatable single mattress or 1 infant in a travel cot.  We also permit one well-behaved dog to stay and provide a doggie welcome pack for your 'fur-baby'.

Outside, is your own private patio with a fire pit BBQ and views over fields and woodlands. You can often see buzzards soaring the skies overhead and a herd of deer grazing at dusk in the fields. At night, you will hear the owls calling to one another. If you’re especially lucky, you may even get to see the elusive barn owl! We get some spectacular sunsets here and on a clear night, you can see the Milky Way.

Please note:

1. This is a non-smoking accommodation for a maximum of 2 adults in a pulldown bed.
2. Additional accommodation for 1 child/adult on an inflatable single mattress, for an additional fee of £50 per week, or 1 infant in a travel cot for an additional fee of £30 per week.

Dog House Rules:
1. We permit 1 well-behaved dog to stay for an additional fee of £40 per week.
2. We don’t like the idea of your fur-baby getting lonely, so please do not leave them unsupervised at any time.
3. Although most people’s days are brightened by seeing a dog, please keep other guests in mind.
4. We are a working farm, and whilst some of our furry friends just love having a good runaround the fields, please keep you dog under control when around the unit, and on a lead when walking through the farmyard and never allow  dogs to chase livestock or wildlife.
5. We know your doggy may be excited about your getaway but, please keep in mind that there may be a cost for any doggy damages.
6. We know your doggy might get comfy on the sofa at home, but while with us please keep dogs off the beds and soft furnishings.
7. Your unit will come with dog treats, a dog bed or blanket and a dog bowl. However, we know dogs love their own beds so feel free to bring your own.
8. There’s nothing better than when your four-legged friend comes with a friend of their own, but please note we cannot accept any more than 1 dog per unit.
9. It goes without saying that your doggy may get muddy! Your accommodation comes with a dog blanket, but if your dog is particularly large or enjoys getting very muddy then please bring an extra blanket for them.

"The Lookout" Shepherd's Hut, Southwater
Well equipped, clean, warm and very quiet. Superbly located for north and south downs walking and cycling. Many local footpaths in a lovely wooded areas. Regular bus service to Worthing. Local shopping adequate and the Little Tea House, in the village, an absolute must for delicious cakes and sausage rolls. I plan a return visit in a few months time.
Stayed 4 nights in May 2022

About the host

Hosted by Louise Edwards

Host profile image
Chase Farm is a working farm located in Southwater where the Edwards family have been residents since 1955. Originally a dairy farm, the land is now grassland and arable, so depending on the time of year, you might have sheep grazing nearby or witness the exciting goings on of the hay harvest in action! You will also have the opportunity to see and hear the local wildlife in the fields from your accommodation; from roe deer, pheasants and foxes to buzzards, tawny and barn owls.

Southwater village developed in the 19th century when the brickworks opened in 1891 to take advantage of the vast Sussex clay reserves until its closure in 1981. These red engineering bricks were especially strong and were used worldwide for bridges, infrastructure and housing, including Chase Farm.
