beside the ranges at Skill at Arms
Two huts, one quiet corner of the countryside.
A state-of-the-art tiny house for slowing right down, and a nautical shepherd’s hut for getting back to nature. Pick your kind of quiet.
Two characters, one place
Choose your stay
Both sit on the same peaceful ground — but they ask for different moods. One strips things back; the other brings the comforts of home along for the ride.
The Tiny House
A state-of-the-art tiny house with full-size everything — the comfort of home, dropped into a meadow.

The Shepherd's Hut
A cosy nautical retreat on cast-iron wheels — thoughtfully simple, full of character, and properly back to nature.
Explore The Shepherd's Hut →The land
On the Hertfordshire–Essex border, where the lane runs down to the water.
The huts sit on quiet ground off Redricks Lane, between the River Stort and open countryside, with the ranges of Skill at Arms right next door. Walk to the water, spend a day on the lake, follow the towpath into a market town — or do gloriously little.
