Slow down at this unique and tranquil getaway. A stylishly restored baltic pine hut that was the original Shearers Hut at Twamley Farm, in the days when shearing was done with hand shears and the season would stretch on for months. Situated at the end of the valley, the Shearers Hut boasts vistas of the densely forested rolling hills surrounding Twamley Farm. Get cosy by the wood fire or relax in the outdoor bath, breathing in the clean, crisp country air and soaking up the farm views.
