We've put together a great resource to assist with answering our most commonly asked questions
How do we find you? Please don’t rely on your sat nav
You will find us on High Dyke, Temple Bruer, LN5 0DF.
Please don’t rely on your sat nav. It will send you along Griffins Farm Lane or Temple Road, which are little more than farm tracks. The best access is from The Heath (which sadly has no road name sign), turning onto the road signposted Ermine Street & Holly Lane. Our entrance gate is on the left-hand side of High Dyke, 1.3 miles after that turn.

From the A17: take the Lincoln & Grantham exit towards the A607. After half a mile, turn right onto Pottergate Road, signposted Navenby, and stay on it for 3.4 miles. Turn right at the triangular junction marked Temple Bruer 2. After half a mile, at the crossroads, turn right onto Ermine Street & Holly Lane, marked as a No Through Road.
From the A15: turn onto Warren Lane, signposted Temple Bruer & Wellingore. After 1.2 miles, bear right onto The Heath; there is a little church on your right. Stay on this tarmac road, and don’t let your sat nav turn you onto a single-track lane here. After 1.4 miles, at the crossroads, turn left onto Ermine Street & Holly Lane, marked as a No Through Road.
Then: follow this single-track road for 1.3 miles. Please take care, as there are generally dog walkers and other pedestrians around and the road has potholes. Temple Bruer Glamping is on your left.
Where do we go then?
The huts are in a paddock surrounded by a high hedge. There is a woodchip track around the edge of the paddock leading to the huts. Once you are through the gate, please turn sharp left and follow the track to your hut. Ash Hut is the one you reach first; keep going for Oak Hut.
How do I book?
You can book either hut online through cottages.com. Visit our Book page to choose Ash Hut or Oak Hut.
Where do we park?
There is a parking space behind each shepherd’s hut, large enough for one big car, or a little closer together if there are two. When you make your way to the front of the hut, please be careful not to trip over the hitch at the front of the hut.
What are the check in and check out times?
Check-in any time after 3:30 pm. Check-out by 10:30 am. This gives us time for a thorough clean in between guests to make it perfect for your arrival.
Where do I collect my key on arrival?
We operate a self-check-in procedure. Details will be sent to you via email 5 days before your arrival.
Do you accept pets?
We accept well-behaved pets in both huts. For the comfort and safety of all, we ask that pets are kept on a lead, and are not allowed to disturb other guests.
How many people do the shepherd huts sleep?
Two adults (over the age of 18 years).
What are they like inside?
At just under 5.5m long x 2.5m wide, shepherd huts are compact. Steps lead to a raised terrace and the entrance door. This opens into a kitchen with a breakfast bar. On the left, another door leads to a bathroom, while on the right is a semi-private raised bed area with storage underneath for your cases.
Are there any shops or restaurants nearby?
The village of Navenby is 2 miles away with a variety of shops, eateries, pubs, and coffee shops. You can stock up at Welbourne’s award-winning bakery, butchers, as well as a Co-op.
Do you cater for families?
Unfortunately, we only accommodate up to 2 adults in each hut (over the age of 18 years).
Do we need to bring our own linen/towels?
We provide all bed linen, towels, and bathrobes. Bringing flip-flops, Crocs or slides will make it easier to use the hot-tubs.
Is there WiFi?
Our shepherd huts don’t have a television, but each hut has its own separate WiFi, so bring your laptop or tablet for any streaming requirements.
Did I see that there is a tennis court?
Our tennis court is available for all to enjoy, and racquets and balls are provided so you don’t need to bring them.
Do the shepherd huts have shower facilities and a flushing toilet?
Both huts have an indoor bathroom with shower, WC, sink, heated towel rail, and fluffy bathrobes. Outside, you also have your own wood-fired hot tub for two.
Is there shampoo?
Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion, and hand wash are provided.
Do we need to bring washing up liquid?
Washing-up liquid, a dish brush, and a tea towel come with each hut.
What about drinks?
There are tea bags, coffee, sugar, and milk so you can have a hot drink when you arrive without having to unpack.
What cooking facilities are there?
In the kitchen, as well as a kettle and toaster, there is a 2-ring hob, microwave, slow cooker, air fryer, fridge (with a small freezer compartment), pots, pans, cooking equipment, and utensils. There is also an outdoor fire pit and grill. BBQ utensils are provided.
Do we need to bring our own logs?
We provide a starter pack of logs for your fire pit and hot tub, as well as eco-firelighters. Extra logs can be purchased at Co-op Navenby.
Are the shepherd huts warm?
Each shepherd hut has an air-conditioning and heating unit, and with a heated towel rail in the bathroom, you’re sure to stay the perfect temperature.
Are both shepherd huts the same?
Both huts have the same facilities and layout, and they are the same size. The only difference is the colour schemes. Ash Hut is available for those guests who want to bring a pet.
Do both shepherd huts face the same way?
Oak Hut faces to the south. Ash Hut faces to the east.
Are the shepherd huts suitable for wheelchair users?
Our huts are accessed via stairs, therefore not suitable for wheelchair users.
