We wanted to escape there as soon as we saw this idyllic shepherd’s hut on the South Downs. Charmingly furnished, and complete with a wood-burning stove for chilly nights, and wonderful merino wool bedding from White Cloud, it’s available to rent for £90 a night (min 2 nights) including a hamper of organic goodies.
