The space
The huts at Killedmond are very special. We have four huts located about 20 metres apart from each other that are available to let together or separately. The huts are traditional shepherds’ huts and contain a double bed, some vintage furniture and a lovely view across the meadows and woods. The huts are fitted with lights and heating the setting is very tranquil and quiet. The huts are located in the grounds of The Old Rectory, a Victorian home. We have converted a barn space into a contemporary shared space complete with wet room, bathroom and toilets as well as an open plan kitchen space with long dining table and magnificent views out into our water garden. Guests staying in the huts may use this barn to wash and cook. It is about 100 metre walks to the barn from the huts along an old beech tree lined avenue which is lit up at night. Breakfast is provided in the Barn, (bread, fruit, eggs, butter, teas and coffee). Help yourselves, and on cool mornings sit around the wood burning stove and relax!

Guests will have sole access to their own hut and have access to the shared barn space with bathroom, open plan kitchen space and toilets.
