About Robins Nest

Robins Nest is a beautifully crafted shepherds hut in Leighton, Shropshire. This romantic retreat sits beside a babbling stream on a working farm. Open the double doors to birdsong and the sound of flowing water below. The hut sleeps two in a comfortable double bed with a wood burner keeping you warm.

You're in the Heart of England near Ironbridge. The Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty surrounds you with rolling hills and river valleys. Walk from the hut to explore the farm and meet the resident cows.

Inside you'll find an open-plan layout with a sofa and TV opposite the wood burner. The kitchen has a two-ring hob, electric oven, microwave and fridge-freezer. A dining table sits by the window. The private shower room is in a separate converted building with stylish fittings and a stained glass window. Outside there's a deck with furniture and a brick-built charcoal BBQ for al fresco dining.

Is Robins Nest Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families

Robins Nest is designed as a romantic couples retreat rather than a family property. The hut sleeps only two in a double bed with no additional sleeping space. However, children who enjoy farm life would love meeting the cows and exploring the working farm. The stream and outdoor space offer natural play opportunities. The separate shower building and open-plan layout may not suit families with young children.

For Couples

This is a perfect romantic escape for two. The wood burner creates cosy evenings while the streamside location provides natural peace and privacy. Watch sunsets from your private deck with a glass of wine. The double bed faces the TV for relaxed mornings. Cook together in the compact kitchen or fire up the charcoal BBQ. Walk hand-in-hand through the farm at dusk. The separate shower building adds a touch of adventure to your stay.

Pet Friendly

One dog is welcome at Robins Nest. Your pet will love the farm setting with plenty of outdoor space to explore. The secure shed can store leads and walking equipment. The deck provides a great spot for your dog to relax beside you. Nearby walks include the Shropshire Hills and River Severn paths. The open-plan hut layout means your dog stays close throughout your stay. Remember to arrange farm access with owner Kelly beforehand.
