Bring your family, friends, and even your horse to Eakley Manor Farm, a peaceful retreat set across 10 acres of farmland and slap-bang between Northampton and Milton Keynes. A cosy shepherd’s hut and spacious bell tent provide stylish and well-equipped glamping options for couples and groups, opposite a bridleway that will transport guests to the ancient woodland of Salcey Forest.
Only two lodgings are available in this hidden plot of North Buckinghamshire countryside, both fully-furnished and providing a similarly cosy stay along with all your home comforts. But don't be fooled by their small stature—a lot of luxury is packed into your accommodation here, from a kingsize bed, fireplace, and full ensuite bathroom in the hut, to the additional beds that can be planted in the bell tent for family trips. Dogs aren't allowed but horses certainly are given the on-site equestrian facilities, with a pleasant field for your filly and links to many bridleways.
Hosts, Mark and Wendy, will provide you with a warm welcome and advice on how to best enjoy your stay, pointing out the myriad of local walks right on your doorstep. First on the agenda should be Salcey Forest, where you can embark on a near-endless number of strolls through wood banks, cycle trails, and even a circuit through the forest on horseback. Water babies will also want to visit Willen Lake, the area's most popular park and host to a number of water-based activities, from windsurfing to an inflatable obstacle course.
Our Luxury Shepherds Hut provides guests with the comfort they need, and a little extra something special. This is a great option for couples. The hut has a king size bed, log burning stove, combination oven, induction hob, kettle, toaster and full size fridge. It is fully furnished with all bedding, towels, crockery and cutlery.
