Tucked away in its own private field on a peaceful family-run farm near the village of Moulton, this off-grid shepherd’s hut offers a cosy glamping escape for two.
With its stable door opening onto wide countryside views, a snug cabin bed, and a log-burning stove made for chilly evenings, it’s a charming retreat where comfort meets character. The repurposed farm elements – from the steps to the kettle guard – tell stories of the land’s past, while the private bathroom, hot shower, and covered kitchen add modern ease. Dogs are warmly welcomed, and the fully fenced field means you and your four-legged friend can roam and relax in peace. Beyond the hut, the surrounding countryside of Northamptonshire invites exploration. Step directly onto footpaths from the farm for scenic walks through rolling fields to nearby villages such as Moulton and Overstone. Moulton itself is a pretty village with pubs, a shop, and a strong sense of local heritage.
A little further afield, Northampton offers a wealth of history and culture – visit Delapré Abbey, explore the historic market square, or take a stroll along the River Nene. The Northampton Museum & Art Gallery is well worth a stop, as is the Royal & Derngate Theatre for an evening show. For nature lovers, nearby Sywell Country Park is perfect for lakeside walks and birdwatching, while Pitsford Water offers walking, cycling, sailing and fishing. You’re also within easy reach of the stately homes and gardens of Althorp (childhood home of Princess Diana), Cottesbrooke Hall, and Holdenby House. Venture a little further to explore the beautiful market towns of Oundle or Olney, or head to the Cotswolds or Cambridge for an easy day trip. Whether you’re seeking rest, rural rambling or a base for local discovery, the shepherd’s hut at Elliot’s Rectory Farm offers a warm, off-grid welcome in the heart of the English countryside.
