Amazing place for a couple getaway! Amazing place, great views and most importantly, gives you everything you need to get away from it all and clear your mind! The hut was great, very cozy and comfortable yet big enough for everything you’ll need. The ponies are great fun and will come over and DEMAND some grass everytime they see you. Hot tub is in great condition and checked every morning for ph levels etc. Definitely will be coming back!

We had a fantastic time, the place was really clean and private overlooking a field with two Shetland ponies in. The hut had a full size cooker plus a sofa and the bed was extremely comfy and the hot tub was an added bonus!
We would definitely come again!

Absolutely loved our stay here.
We received a lovely welcome from Louise as we pulled into our car park space and were shown to the hideaway hut where the basics were explained to us. The hut was cosy and warm, clean and tidy and had a lovely welcome pack provided for us with local produce and a complimentary Henry hoppicker bear to take away. The hut contained everything you would need for a few days away, without having to interact with others if that is your desire.
We were a little fortunate with the weather and this allowed us to relax in the hot tub and enjoy the sounds on nature. We were visited daily by a beautiful horse grazing in the pasture adjacent and saw various wildlife including a muntjac deer wandering just in front of us.
It was so peaceful with just the sounds of countryside and wildlife to keep you company.
I would highly recommend a stay if looking to recharge your batteries or just some peace and quiet...

A wonderful two nights spent here. We had a very relaxing stay and enjoyed the lovely view. Extremely comfortable bed and pillows. Underfloor heating was a real bonus! Owners were incredibly helpful.
Would recommend the walk from the property to the Talbot pub for a delicious lunch and we also booked massages from pure thyme which were divine.
A fantastic anniversary break. Thank you x

Booked a 2 night stay last minute before we moved into tier 3. So nice to get away to the peace & quiet but still stay local. Highlight was the hot tub plus the cabin was decorated to a very high standard (we loved the underfloor heating!) The owners, David & Louise were very friendly and helpful too.

Had the most wonderful stay in the Shepards Hut Hideaway for 2 nights. Honestly couldn't fault it, there was everything you could possibly need. The hut was really well equipped, the bed was really comfortable and the outside space was beautiful. We felt like the only people in the world. There was lots of wildlife to see and the hot tub to relax in was just the icing on the cake. Will definitely be back.

Loved our stay in the cosiest of caravans! Our host was delightful and everything ready in arrival.
The hideaway really takes after its name - only the horses could see us!
The hot tub was already hot when we got there and the log burner needed only a match. ( not that you needed it because the caravan was lovely and warm without it.)
Great shower! Kitchen very well equipped and very comfy bed.
Everything you could possibly want and a little bit more.

My wife and I spent 2 nights in the hideaway. The hut had everything that we could have wanted and the area was so quiet and relaxing. We went on a lovely walk around the countryside and up onto the Worcestershire Way. The hot tub was much welcome on return. Plenty of wildlife to see too. Would 100% recommend.

Our 2nd visit to Hoppickers staying in the Shepherds Hut. Louise and family are such amazing hosts. The Shepherds Hut is luxurious and so private with beautiful views from hot tub and decking. Great location with a pool, tennis court and games room.
We have booked to stay again next year.

Our second visit to the Shepherd Hut didn’t disappoint! We had a lovely quiet break, enjoying the wood burner and hot tub. The view across to the Malvern Hills is lovely, and we saw abundant bird life. A welcome pack was a very thoughtful gesture, adding to our enjoyment of the whole experience.

The perfect weekend getaway!
The location & setting was private & tranquil.
Even on a stormy day the host gave us options should we not be able to visit.
The Shepards hut & hot tub has everything we needed, making for a cozy romantic stay.

The property is beautiful. So romantic and well organised. It was our anniversary weekend, so we wanted somewhere cosy and romantic and quiet.. but also not a millions miles away from civilisation. Close to Great Malvern, which was a nice day out. I will be back for sure! Also loved the 2 horses right outside the hut!!

The Shepherds hut is tucked away in a quiet part of the farm yet was easily accessible. The accommodation is understandably small but it has everything that is needed. The owners were very friendly and helpful. As our family occupied all three properties on the site we enjoyed private use of the wonderful games room. Things that would have made our stay better. A couple of coat hooks on the bathroom door and me to have longer legs which would have made getting on to the rather high bed easier. I can definitely recommend Hoppickers.

The view from the shepherd's hut was immediately relaxing. Two shetland ponies, sqirrels and even a muntjac deer trotting across as I sat in the beautiful hot tub. At night, owls can be heard but not much else.
The hut was so cosy with the little wood-burner and had everything we needed to make the weekend. Lovely little hamper with delicious bread and local apple juice.
We'll be back!

This beautiful place is definatley a little piece of heaven. My husband and I wanted a quiet 2 night break to get away from the 100mph of life. We had the best time and feel so much more rejuvenated. We will definitely be returning and have already recommended to friends and family.

We guess many people have not stayed in a shepherd's hut but is well worth a trial. It is a very cosy, very quiet accommodation with lots of lovely add-ons such as a stunning view. It has many creature comforts, is well equipped, very clean and has a Jacuzzi. What more could one ask for. We used the excellent swimming pool quite a lot during our stay. The dog thoroughly enjoyed himself; Rebecca and Louise the hosts, providing the the best dog requirements you could wish for. Oh, almost forgot to say that the welcome pack was stunning. We have stayed at many holiday rentals but Louise and Rebecca provided the best welcome food and drink pack we have ever been given - full of local produce

We visited the Shepherds hut for my Husband's surprise birthday trip away. Wow what a perfect little space! It has literally everything you could possibly need for a few days away from it all. The small touches were very thoughtful, from fresh eggs, milk and bread on arrival, to the fluffy robes (that we practically lived in for 3 days!) even down to the full inventory of appliances and kitchen contents on the website- this made it very handy knowing what to pack.
We had such a lovely time, mostly spent out walking or floundering in the hot tub. Cooking over the open fire was great fun, and the views across the paddocks were very peaceful and calming.
It had everything; comfy bed, great views, peace and quiet, extensive local information, swimming pool, excellent hosts, fully equipped kitchen, plenty of storage and bathroom facilities. We shall certainly be back!

Thank you for such a memorable stay, it was just the escape we needed in these times. The set up is perfect. We enjoyed use of the pool, games room and private hot tub. Although in place for covid it was nice having a pool timetable for each of the guests.
We loved the welcome hamper, a really personal touch and the shepherds hut itself was very cosy and well equipped. We also enjoyed some of the recommended pubs and restaurants local to the area. We would definitely recommend Hop Pickers and not hesitate to come back. It had everything we needed.
