The Rabbit Warren

The Rabbit Warren is a shepherd’s hut made for slower mornings, quiet evenings, and time spent at your own pace. A calm, comfortable space, connected to the landscape around it.

Set within a private 30-acre estate near Rutland Water, The Rabbit Warren offers a quiet countryside stay surrounded by open fields, lakes and local wildlife.

Inside, the space feels warm and easy. A cosy double bed sits at one end of the hut, with a simple kitchen and dining area at the other — designed for relaxed, self-catered living.

A wood-burning stove brings warmth in the evenings, alongside additional heating for comfort throughout the year.

The kitchen is fully equipped with an electric hob, fridge, Belfast sink and everyday essentials, along with tea, coffee and pantry basics. A small dining table provides a place to sit and take in the views, whether starting the day slowly or winding down in the evening.

A private shower room sits within the hut, finished with clean, understated details and soft lighting.

Doors open directly onto your private outdoor space. A freestanding bath sits beneath open skies, with uninterrupted views across the surrounding landscape. A seating area and fire pit create a natural place to gather as the day comes to an end.
