Shepherd’s huts with hot tubs in the UK
Mount View Retreat, Penzance
Most shepherd’s huts in the UK have a countryside view, but this one in Penzance comes with a sea view direct from the hot tub. And as far as settings go, it’s pretty epic. It overlooks St Michael’s Mount, which is a five-minute drive away, and the Lizard Peninsula, the most southernly tip of Britain. It has room to sleep four and there is even an honesty shop and washing machine on site.

Cosy up around the fire pit, cook up a feast in the outdoor kitchen or take a long soak in the hot tub while you gaze up at the starry night skies as it’s in a non polluted area. Guests are even welcome to bring their own fishing rods as there are coldwater fish in the lake.
