Shepherd’s Lodge is set within the rolling landscape of the Vale of Belvoir, a rural gem where Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire and Lincolnshire meet. This Area of Natural Beauty is perfect for walkers, cyclists and horse riders, with peaceful lanes, gentle trails and traditional villages to explore. Just a short distance away is the magnificent Belvoir Castle, steeped in history and offering glorious grounds and seasonal events.
Adjacent to the castle, The Engine Yard is a vibrant destination for boutique shopping, local produce and artisan food. Guests can enjoy wine tasting at Hanwell Wine Estate, explore farm shops and country pubs, or book a treatment at Vale Retreat, just minutes from the site, offering discounted massages and holistic therapies for Shepherd’s Lodge guests. Equestrian facilities and riding experiences are also available locally, with stabling and bike storage on site if required. A highlight of the grounds is The Duck Inn, a beautifully decorated lakeside summerhouse available to all guests. With a bar area and fridge for drinks, dining table, comfy seating, hammocks and swing chairs, it’s the perfect social spot to unwind, share a meal, or toast the sunset with friends.
Whether you’re here to explore or simply relax, Poppie’s Hut offers the ultimate countryside retreat.
