As the leaves start to turn brilliant shades of orange, red, and gold, and the air becomes crisp, our cosy shepherds hut transforms into a warm retreat.
We are no strangers to celebrating the joys of autumn, afterall, seasons are our superpower, if you know, you know!
Embracing the Autumn Aesthetic
To celebrate autumn, we embrace the season's beauty in our decorating style, we like to call it "floofing & faffing", but really we can't help but pick up the fallen conkers, pinecones & acorns, buy a mini pumpkin or two & display them on the window sill & picnic bench outside to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

The rich warm colors outside inspire our interior choices too. We replace the summer bedding with richer, warmer duvet sets. Piles of vintage & hand crocheted blankets and squishy velvet cushions add comfort, making the hut perfect for curling up with a good book, listening to the radio or sipping a mug of hot chocolate.

Outdoor Adventures and Nature Walks
Autumn is perfect for getting outdoors & exploring. The cool weather makes a ramble or a crisp walk in nature enjoyable, kick your boots through the piles of leaves & soak in the scenery & the autumn colours.
We regularly venture out to nearby trails and parks. We are so lucky to have so many beautiful places on our doorstep, including the Monsal Trail & Chatsworth Estate. I can't help but appreciate nature’s beauty, stopping (& annoying my walking pals) to capture a photograph or to collect yet another pretty leaf or rose hip to display!
These adventures allow us to reconnect, not just with nature, but with ourselves & each other, giving us time to blow the cobwebs away, slow down & be in the moment whilst fully appreciating the simple joys of life.

Cozy Evenings by the Fire
As the nights draw in during autumn, evenings in the hut become cosier. Gather around the fire pit outside or the wood-burner inside, chatting, relaxing and enjoying the warmth.
The crackling fire is perfect for roasting marshmallows and making s'mores—an activity that transports you back to happy childhood memories. The flickering glow creates a cosy, warm & relaxing ambiance which makes our little green hut feel like a shelter from the brisk evening air.
As you relax, these moments we have created for you, often turn into heartfelt conversations... a chat becomes easier, as you share highlights of your day, your hopes & your dreams. The little green hut works it's magic without you even realising.

Embracing the Spirit of Autumn Together
Celebrating autumn in our cosy shepherds hut is a tradition that will connect you to nature and each other. From our warm blankets, toadstool bunting, the fairylights, autumn scented candles & the smell of woodsmoke to your outdoor mini adventures, it all serves as a reminder of our favourite season's beauty.
As the leaves fall and the temperatures start to drop, find joy in life's simple pleasures. Our shepherds hut is a place where we truly embrace autumn's spirit, helping you create memories that will last a lifetime. Whether you want to escape daily life or revel in nature's beauty, we encourage you to celebrate autumn in your own special way.
