Tucked away in the Hampshire countryside, our Shepherds Hut offers a quiet place to slow down and reconnect.
Warm, comfortable and thoughtfully put together, it’s a space designed for unhurried mornings, long views, and evenings spent under the stars — whether that’s by the fire or soaking in the wood-fired hot tub.
We’re Charlie and Anna White, and we look after Escape & Retreat alongside our working farm.
Frenches Farm is home to arable land, livestock and horses, and Anna manages the day-to-day running of Escape & Retreat. If you’re curious about life on the farm, we’re always happy to share a little of it with you… though we’re just as happy to leave you to enjoy the peace and quiet.


From the moment you arrive, everything is ready for you.
Inside the hut, you’ll find a comfortable king-size bed, cosy seating and the gentle warmth of the cast-iron stove. Outside, the wood-fired hot tub waits quietly for the evening. You’ll also find the fridge is stocked with locally produced bacon, sausages, fresh eggs from the farm, fresh orange juice, milk, marmalade, butter and chilled Prosecco.
It’s all about comfort, without fuss.
Our Shepherds Hut sits in an elevated, private spot at Frenches Farm near Andover, with wide views across the rolling North Wessex Downs.
Walking routes start straight from the gate, so there’s no need to bring the car. Several welcoming local pubs are within easy walking distance, and a simple map is provided to help you explore at your own pace.

Situated in some of the most beautiful countryside at Frenches Farm, Escape & Retreat offers stabling so your horse can stay just moments from your luxury Shepherd’s Hut.
We can accommodate up to two horses, with stabling and a paddock located close by. It’s the perfect set-up for guests who want to enjoy the freedom of outstanding countryside riding without leaving their horse behind.
From the farm you’ll find excellent hacking through woodland, along tracks and quiet roads. You can even enjoy a relaxed hack to a local pub before returning to your accommodation for a well-earned soak in the wood-fired hot tub, taking in the sweeping views from the top of the farm as the day draws to a close.
Cost: £100 per night, per horse
If you’d like to make your stay extra special by bringing your horse along, just let us know when you book and we’ll be happy to help.
