Blackstairs Eco Trails Shepherd Huts have 4 beautiful Shepherds Huts in the gardens of the Old Rectory, 3 miles from Borris. Each hut is decorated in rustic style & contains a comfy double bed. Guests use our state-of-the-art Eco Centre, kitchen & bathrooms for washing and cooking. Breakfast provided!
The huts at Killedmond are very special and are 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. They 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!
