Poulton's shepherd's huts: our modern take on these traditional structures, once used by shepherds to provide shelter while they tended to their flocks of sheep, especially in rural or remote areas, are the perfect example of modern, comfortable glamping yet with a traditional feel. 

These huts were often simple and functional, built from wood or other readily available materials, and were designed to offer a basic living space for one or two people. They usually featured a small stove or fireplace for warmth, a bed, and minimal furnishings.

Historically, shepherds' huts were used during the grazing season, allowing shepherds to live close to their flocks, often in the countryside or on farmland, and protect the sheep from predators or harsh weather.

In modern times, shepherd's huts have been repurposed as charming, rustic cottages for short-term stays, vacation rentals, or as garden retreats. They are often valued for their quaint and cozy appeal, blending functionality with a nostalgic, rustic aesthetic.
