Godwick Great Barn
Shlamping is the new glamping (obvs) and the folks at Godwick are flying the flag for this brand new style of Shepherd Hut accommodation.

The three huts come with some fabulous mod cons and have lovely design features, such as oak wooden floors, butler sinks and narrow boat wood burners. Hot running water, a mini fridge, microwave, oak work top, loo, shower and of course a lovely double bed.
