The Shepherd’s Crook
A luxurious shepherd’s hut for two in its own private stone circle, with 38 acres of Peak District fields, woodland and riverbank to roam
WELCOME TO THE SHEPHERD’S CROOK
The Shepherd’s Crook nestles within its own stone circle in the charming village of Wincle, in the Dane Valley on the edge of the Peak District National Park.
Not overlooked and set well away from anything else, the hut offers a genuine get away from it all experience and a luxurious, romantic haven for two. It sleeps two, with an en suite shower room, a well equipped kitchenette and a large double bed.
Bordered by a bluebell wood with its own rookery, there is an abundance of wildlife to see, and the views from the hut are stunning. There is a summerhouse to enjoy a glass of wine and watch the sun go down, and a barbecue and fire pit to sit round later on.
There is no Wi-Fi here and the mobile signal comes and goes, which is rather the point. This is a place to put the phone down, watch the light move across the valley and let a day pass slowly, and guests tell us the quiet is the part they remember most.

Outdoors
Your own stone circle and private field, a summerhouse for a glass of wine as the sun goes down, and a barbecue and fire pit to gather round later. Thirty eight acres of fields, woodland and riverbank are yours to roam, and the charming local pub is five minutes away over the fields.
Signal and Wi-Fi
There is no Wi-Fi at the hut and the mobile signal is limited, and that is part of the appeal. A stay here is a proper digital detox: the phone goes in a drawer, the view does the entertaining and the only thing asking for your attention is the weather. A radio is provided, and The Ship Inn is five minutes away over the fields whenever you fancy company.

Wincle is convenient for Buxton, Macclesfield and Leek, and just 35 minutes from Manchester Airport. Chester, Liverpool, Manchester and the Potteries are all within reasonable driving distance, and the whole of the Peak District National Park is on the doorstep.

Your Own Private Stone Circle
The Shepherd’s Crook nestles within its own stone circle, out of sight of everything else. Inside, a light and modern sleeping area holds a large double bed with side tables and reading lights, beneath a curved timber ceiling. Wake to stunning views of the Roaches and the Dane Valley from every window.
A Modern Kitchenette
The modern kitchenette is fully equipped with everything needed for your stay. Throw open the stable door and the countryside comes in with the morning light, along with the sound of the birds in the bluebell wood.
Sleep, Shower and Unwind
The hut sleeps two in a large double bed, with a bright en suite shower room alongside holding a shower, toilet and basin. A radio is provided so you will not miss your favourite programmes, and the only thing likely to wake you is the view.
