Shepherds Hut with Hot Tub
Moffat
Scottish Borders
Nestled in the timbered grounds of a grand country mansion along the banks of the Evan Water, this handcrafted double shepherd’s hut offers a tranquil self-catering sanctuary on the edge of Moffat. Combining charming rustic craftsmanship with modern interior styling, this unique waterside retreat provides a serene escape for families, couples, or friends looking to explore Dumfries and Galloway’s rich heritage, dramatic scenery, and clear night skies.
