Wells Shepherd Huts 

Wells Shepherd Huts has grown from a simple idea inspired by the historic late 1800s English Victorian shepherd’s hut from which shepherds tended to their flocks of sheep.

The 21st Century shepherd’s huts have more of a modern use from a glamping hideaway, a home office in the garden, spare bedroom or an addition to a B & B business, an art studio or a writers’ room, or maybe just simply a garden room to enjoy those summer evenings. Their limits are endless.
