It's always nice to get positive feedback from our guests................

★★★★★ "We spent a delightful weekend at Litet Hem overlooking the gorgeous Wiltshire countryside. The shepherd's hut has been thoughtfully designed with everything you could possibly need. We had a comfortable night's sleep and a surprisingly good shower. To top it all, we had a great Sund...

One of the things that sealed the deal with us in sourcing our shepherds hut from Blackdown Shepherd Huts was the many high class hotels that used them to give extra space in their grounds . Someone with much more experience than us had already done the homework.

So we had an ideal small private plot of land which has been owned by our family for 50 years which we thought was ideal for the placement of a shepherds hut for short getaways, our own included hence we went for a building of quality.

The space is on the edge of a beautiful village within the North Wessex Downs National Landscape and with our landscaping fast establishing it's a very private space to enjoy nature and rural life.

The hut is serviced by mains services including fast wifi and is fully self contained with en-suite shower room and fully fitted handbuilt kitchen should you wish to cater yourself.

This week it has been great seeing the farmer in action in the field next door and the bird life is amazing with many different species visiting the garden on a regular basis.

Although Litet-Hem effectively looks in the middle of nowhere it is on the edge of a fully serviced village with pubs and food stores within easy walking distance.

Our latest guests earlier in the week took full advantage of looking through our black book highlighting many of the scenic walks close by.

You are guaranteed a restful break in luxury accommodation surrounded by nature and will return home calm and relaxed.

Exactly what we was hoping for is happening at Litet-Hem . We are bringing tourists to a lovely rural location and they are putting much needed cash into the local economy.

A message from our latest guests who chose to visit us for their 20th wedding anniversary.........

Hi Paul & Carol, we had the best time. Litet-Hem is so beautiful and in a stunning location. We will definitely be back.

We made the most of our time walking and enjoying the local hospitality. Gastro Nicks Ltd and The Shears Inn Collingbourne ducis were great.

We sat and relaxed in your beautiful garden yesterday afternoon, we were so lucky with the weather.

Thank you so much for the breakfast things, the chocolates and the card.

We will definitely recommend Litet-Hem to friends and family.

Best wishes

Chris & Helen.

Thanks to everyone in the village that has shown us support for this project that made use of our piece of family owned land which for 50 years was of no real use.

Thanks to joining Visit Pewsey Vale our guests learn about many other member businesses in the area and we know our latest guests also ventured out to the fantastic Honeystreet Mill Café & Farm Shop for Saturday lunch and a walk in beautiful Alton Barnes.

Not only are we attracting people that support the local economy but nature is also thriving on the site via management of the landscape with natural wild areas, twenty new trees and two hundred native hedging plants and over 200 spring and summer bulbs already planted with more planting planned for this autumn.

All the best,

Paul & Carol

So we have done our bit for no mow May and left the front verge to blossom.

Around the perimeter of the site the hedgerow is in full growth mode and we have let the grass grow there too and we have seen lots of insects including ladybirds in amongst the grasses.

We have seen many bees going about their work amongst the blossom.

We have maintained the grass footpaths down to the garden bench and table and it's lovely sitting there in our wild meadow area listening to the birds looking over the fields, sometimes you will see horses grazing.

It's very calming around Litet-Hem at the moment.

A balmy summer evening just taking in the sunset across the open fields or maybe even dining outside is such a calm way to end the day.

The calmness continues as you retreat to the cozy accommodation that awaits you for a comfortable night's sleep which can start with some star gazing out of the large roof light above the bed which of course you can pull the blind across if you don't want to be disturbed too by early by the morning sunrise.

Lifting the blinds the next day waking up to clear blue skies it all starts again and the calmness of your restful stay continues.

Very conscious of the fact that our shepherds hut and driveway sits on a small parcel of redundant agricultural land and very grateful that the planners were acceptable to our use of this sensitive site in The North Wessex Downs National Landscape for the placing of our hut for tourist accommodation use all year round, we did not want to detract from the environmental benefits that our piece of land originally had.

So with approximately a third of the site taken up with the hut, lower sitting out terrace and driveway, the other two thirds are taken up with a wild meadow grass area, a small fruit orchard, a hedgerow to the perimeter consisting of two hundred native hedging species and a bark chipped upper terrace area infront of the hut where the ground feeding birds love to congregate.

We have also planted twenty new trees around the site to further reduce our carbon footprint which have all established well. The latest addition was a rooted Christmas tree in January that we used at home this Christmas. We will add more trees later this year.

The end result is loved by the wildlife with lots of bees having a feast on the pollen daily now and the butterflies returning after their winter break.

The feedback from our guests to date has been fantastic.

One of my favourite things to do is to walk up the steps to follow the grass footway to the bottom of the wild meadow area and sit under the birch trees and listen to the birdsong whilst taking in the views across the fields around the site. A fantastic end to a day at Litet-Hem.

Maybe check the black book out in the hut and go a bit further afield, there really is lot's to see and do within a short drive or cycle ride. There really are so many choices open to you here.

As owners we often take advantage of our space here at Litet-Hem

So this bank holiday Monday we stopped by to take in some birdwatching from the dining table, and enjoyed some of the colour in the spring garden both of which are good for the soul.

In the afternoon we popped over to the nearby fantastic canal side Honeystreet Mill Café & Farm Shop for our lunch and a crafty cake , there are plenty to choose from.

Then it was a look around the fantastic India Shop and farm shop which had lots of delicious things to browse.

We ended up just taking in the the beauty of the Kennet and Avon Canal.

You can't beat life in the slow lane in our beautiful Wiltshire countryside.

Nothing beats having some down time and just aquainting yourself with the nature that surrounds you.

You can do exactly that at Litet-Hem.

Watching the bees go about their business in the wild flower areas or the fruit orchard is calming to watch.

Watching the birds and listening to their song whilst sitting in the lower terrace, maybe over an evening meal, you just can't beat it.

Seeing all the new shoots from the trees and hedging adding to the greenery giving you privacy on our private plot as you take things in around you, it's not often we take time out of our busy lives to appreciate such simple things.

It's a known fact that taking in nature is good for our mental health, the simple things in life are often the best.

After taking in a day of nature the calmness continues as you retreat to the cozy luxurious accommodation that Litet-Hem has to offer.

With the generous size of the private plot that Litet-Hem sits on we wanted to not only make full use of it for the enjoyment of our guests but also to add some bio diversity and protect the environment.

At the moment we have planted twenty trees on the site that will help reduce our carbon footprint and we will be planting more in the future.

The decision to plant our nine tree orchard was to provide further privacy to the site, provide an abundance of colour in the spring with the blossom, give the bees some pollen and for our guests during fruiting time to be able to help themselves to fresh fruit.

Already the blossom is beginning to set and it looks like we are going to have an abundance of apples, pears and cherries later in the year.

If you are looking for a chilled break in a rural location surrounded by nature then Litet Hem is for you.

So this week we mowed around the dandelions in the front verge and left them on site in our wild patch too.

Click on the link below to see why.............

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/ce1Wk6tiKtJAH6hx/

This week we also spotted the bees doing their work amongst the blossom in the orchard.

It was always our intention to add to the biodiversity of the site and we are succeeding. We have already spotted the first butterflies, last year we counted seven different species.

With over twenty trees now planted around the site as well as two hundred native hedging plants the bird life on our site is fantastic with many different species now becoming regular visitors which includes a Woodpecker.

Litet-Hem combines an outdoor dining space on the lower terrace with a luxury internal living space.
