About this property
Sutton-on-Trent 2.7 miles. Hidden away in the countryside of Low Marnham near Sutton-on-Trent in Nottinghamshire is Sweet Caroline. This idyllic shepherd’s hut affords breathtaking countryside views, close proximity to the River Trent where guests may partake in free fishing, and it welcomes four guests in one room, making it well suited for friends or couples seeking a countryside retreat. After a fun-filled day exploring the surrounding attractions enter this cute hut where the woodburning stove creates a homely atmosphere; help the designated chef whip up a tasty meal that the whole group can enjoy at the dining table. If the sun is still shining, partake in an alfresco affair at the picnic table while marvelling at the expansive surrounding countryside, later indulge in a lovely atmosphere outside in the hot tub while the sunset provides a picturesque backdrop. When the sky darkens, wash off the day’s adventures in the walk-in shower before retiring to the double bunk, be sure to rest up before another day full of exploring. Sweet Caroline lies in Low Marham just a short walk from High Marnham where you can treat your loved ones to a delicious meal or evening drinks at The Brownlow Arms or venture slightly further to Sutton-on-Trent where you can visit The Lord Nelson Inn. The historic city of Lincoln is a scenic drive away from the shepherd’s hut; tour its impressive castle, brush up on local history at The Collection museum, or admire art at The Usher Gallery. Take a walk up the aptly named Steep Hill to Lincoln Cathedral and marvel at the impressive architecture. If you don’t mind the drive, the city of Sheffield is worth the visit, as you can tour the Millennium Gallery, stroll along Victoria Quays, experience the city’s many bars and restaurants, and gamers will be keen to explore the National Videogame Museum which lies in the centre of the city.

Sutton-on-Trent is an attractive, sizable village in Nottinghamshire, between the cities of Sheffield and Lincoln. The village has over 2000 acres of land and is located on the River Trent. If you're looking for somewhere to go on a night when you don't feel like cooking, the Lord Nelson, a locally owned and operated establishment, is your best bet. Classic cars, morris dancing, and performances by local bands and artists are just some of the highlights of the annual festival that takes place in the village every September. Lincoln, a scenic drive away, offers a plethora of attractions, such as the Lincoln Castle (built in the 11th century) with guided tours, the Lincoln Medieval Bishops' Palace (with ruins and a heritage garden), and the Museum of Lincolnshire Life (where you can learn even more about the region's history). Sheffield also has great shopping at The Moor Market and many restaurants and bars along Victoria Quays, such as Bunk, Frog and Parrot, and Gatsby. Sutton-on-Trent is a convenient base from which to discover the rest of Nottinghamshire.

It is not clear on your site that there is only the one hut in situ and that the hot tub was just for us to use. A number of huts we looked at before this property on your site made it clear that we would be sharing facilities. (Which we did not want) So we took a chance anyway that it was just going to be us and WOW it was amazing we had everything we could have wanted to escape. We were at the very end of a long drive through fields and were nested in beautiful opening, surrounded by fields to the sides as well as a large duck pond and in back of us was more fields and in front was the river Trent and more fabulous views of woods and fields. Which blow us away. We were made very welcome by our host who once we were set up left us to it. But was at the end of the phone to help which she did quickly and with a warm manner with the questions and help we needed. Once we were settled in we did not see anyone. It was one of the best experiences we have had and managed to relax and unwind from a busy lifestyle. The walls offered breathtaking views we walked for hours and only came across sleep, (who followed us up to the next gate very friendly!) cows (which enjoyed making us walk round them and as soon as we did they moved off the path lol) and one fish man who friendly chat and guidance to a pub. It you are thinking of escaping this is the place to go I cannot put into words just how amazing this place was a true hidden gem that you must added to your bucket list !!!

Loved every minute of our stay Rebecca helped me to source extra supplies for our stay as this was a surprise for my now wife, I booked this place for our honeymoon, completely isolated only saw 2 dog walkers the whole week we were there loved the wood fired hot tip and the lovely little shepherds hoot. Massive thanks to the owner who helped make it that bit more special. We Will definitely be returning!

The hut is perfect and comfortable. Rebecca provides everything you need, even gets the wood burner started if it's cool. Would definitely recommend
