Wriggly Tin Shepherd’s Huts

Luxury vintage camping in traditional shepherd’s huts, tucked away in the heart of the South Downs.

The double doors really let the outside in and make the hut feel incredibly spacious.

Five people can just about squeeze around the table!

The hut is fully equipped for up to five peoplecoffee cups

Boundary is named in homage to the local Hambledon Cricket Club, one of the oldest in the country and deserving of it’s page in this Ladybird book. Real woodpeckers can be heard in the woods surrounding Wriggly Tin.

DIY draw handles. On reflection, I should have used cricket bails!

The bedroom. There’s a double bed with a pull-out single bunk above. The double bed can be converted to a single, which leaves more floor space.

Another view of the kitchen and two single bunks. The wood-burning stove is made by the Windy Smithy. These stoves are brilliant, having a large hot plate for cooking and a little oven for roasting, or even baking bread.

  1. Stunningly beautiful. would love to have a little 2 bed cabin with the same old world country decor.
    As a family we often holiday in Dorset (I have some brilliant tiny house pics im going to send to tinyhouse blog from my last trip a few weeks ago.)
    These look like a brilliant and different option for long weekends for traveling only a little further east.

  2. Among the best uses of space I’ve seen. The over all appearance is wonderful and looking closely at the photos you can see how much thought was put into every aspect of the design/build of the project. The judicious use of color gives the really busy space a sense of clam with so many different functions being concealed behind clever décor. Form, function all wrapped up with charm.

  3. That is the cutest hut I’ve ever seen, we are redoing a moble office over inside and I think we will incorporate some of the beautiful colors and ideas you have. Send more pictures if you can, I love it. That is a real home sweet home!

  4. I love this. Since I have no children I would change the two singles into a mini bath and add a sink/mini kitchen where the stove is. I wonder what the actual square footage is and what it weighs?

  5. As a home designer, I’m always searching for those a whole lot more brilliant than myself. You surpass me by ten miles. You’ve not only made the space VERY usable, but it has SO much charm:) The attention to detail is shown throughout that brings that inner yearn to enjoy it just for the kick of it. You’re SO talented:)

  6. It’s beautiful. My children would have thought they were in heaven to stay in the little bunks. What a great gypsy van!

    • I came in the room as it was ending:( I got so excited though. Our Tiny House Movement is catching on, and spreading like Wildfire! We are going into desperate times, and we must all find ways to downsize, and live small. But no one said it can’t be cute and so very cozy, as your bright and cheery Hut is! Well done!

  7. This would be ideal for me. Love it. So bright and spacious looking. plus efficiently laded out.
    I would need to put it on a secure trailer and wheels for the road, I’m thinking.

  8. Absolutely STUNNING>>> Very jealous!!! I would use the space either above or below the single bed as storage….LOVE the wood stove; a glass panel in the door would make it a 100% Heavenly view.
    I bow to your brilliance!!!!

  9. Having built several tiny houses I am now in the process of finishing the interior of a
    Shepherds hut that will be for sale here in Colorado. It great to see some coverage of these huts
    because they offer such a unique take on the tiny house movement. It’s clear that this hut has been
    very well crafted and will provide a big draw for their ” glamping ” operation. It’s just another
    good use for the classic Shepherds hut.

  10. What a great interior design! Good use of space, plus, with only two people there is lots of storage room. Not so much if you want to sleep four, though. You’d really have to simplify to the extreme. It can be done, though. Love it!
