to the countryside...
...It’s so secluded you feel like you are away from Everything and Everyone. All you have to do here is relax and take in the beautiful scenery...
...and Relax!
...it was the perfect place to chill and unwind and the bed is without a doubt the most comfortable we have ever slept in. Thank you from us all for a memorable weekend...
To die for...
...Had an amazing two nights in Anna's beautiful shepherds hut!! ...The perfect getaway with an idyllic landscape, you really felt a sense of calm sat by the roaring chimney in the evenings... It was paradise!!
If you’re looking for a secluded, romantic glamping experience with a difference, then Escape & Retreat at Frenches Farm offers just that and more!
Our luxury Shepherds Hut is situated in a quiet, elevated position at Frenches Farm near Andover, Hampshire amidst wonderful countryside and boasts amazing views over the rolling hills of the North Wessex Downs.
The Shepherds Hut has been described by our guests as “Fantastic”. Arrive, open the door, and you’re greeted by the warm glow of the cast-iron stove, complimentary home-made goodies, a very large and comfortable king-size bed, table and seating along with a welcoming glass of bubbles perhaps to be shared in the wood-fired hot tub later in the evening…
The wood-fired, wooden hot tub is incredibly popular, and a very relaxing way to wind-down, especially in the evenings when you might just catch one of our spectacular sunsets or a view of a star filled sky.
There’s no roughing it either! Tucked away directly behind the Hut in The Spinney is the Shower Shack, which provides a full size shower, changing area, loo and washbasin. Cooking utensils are provided for cooking meals either on our gas-fired hotplate in the BBQ Shack, or outside on the charcoal-fired BBQ kettle.
Once you’ve prepared your meal, you have the choice of sitting inside the Hut at the table, or enjoying your food al-fresco, perhaps warmed by the chimnea. If you choose not to cook, we can provide you with a hamper - just ask!
For breakfast, we’ll stock the fridge with delicious locally produced bacon, free range eggs fresh from the farm and fresh orange juice.
Being situated in the countryside, there’s great walking available, you don’t need to bring the car! There’s a map to help you find your way around. Local pubs in Smannell, Hurstbourne Tarrant, Stoke and St. Mary Bourne are all reachable by foot.
Your hosts Charlie and Anna White run Frenches Farm, a working farm with acres of arable crops, livestock and an equestrian facility, and Anna manages Escape & Retreat. If you’re interested in the workings of the farm, we’d be delighted to show you around…
…but you may well be busy simply Escaping & Retreating in our little hideaway!
