Our Shepherds Huts have been hand built in 2024 and feature their own raised decks with out door baths, complete with privacy screens. They are situated in a fenced garden area and have access to a covered patio and gas BBQ and an additional area with a firepit. These Shepherds Huts have a full ensuite, kitchen, double bed, Freeview TV and Starling internet access, along with indoor and outdoor seating and dining areas.
Joyce and Alan are delighted to introduce their new project with The Swift and The Swallow. Bee Happy Breaks Scotland Ltd has hosted guests in The Hive since 2023 and due to demand we have expanded to our 2 hand built Shepherds Huts within our grounds. The Shepherds Huts are custom built so both slightly different, both boast a unique feature of an OUTDOOR BATH on the decking. Full privacy screens are provided. We love hosting our guests and are delighted at the huge range of international and British/Scottish travellers who have stayed.
