Watching the Glamping Industry Grow!

When we first started building shepherd’s huts back in 2013, we never imagined just how much the glamping industry would take off. It’s been incredible to see how popular glamping has become across the UK, and even more rewarding to watch our customers thrive as their businesses grow.

Some of the very first glamping businesses we worked with started with just one shepherd’s hut. Now, a few years later, many of them have multiple huts on their sites, welcoming guests from all over the country. It’s been such a pleasure to see these businesses flourish, knowing that we played a small part in helping them get started.

There’s something really special about being part of someone’s dream—from that very first hut on their land to a fully developed glamping site. Every time we hear stories of happy guests or see bookings flying in, it reminds us why we love what we do.

For us, it’s not just about building huts—it’s about helping people create opportunities, bring their visions to life, and make something truly unique that visitors enjoy year after year. Whether it’s a cozy garden retreat, a creative studio, or a glamping pod bringing extra income, every project is personal, and we treat it that way.

The growth in the glamping industry has also been inspiring because it shows just how much people value experiences, nature, and quality stays. Shepherd’s huts are perfectly suited for this—they’re charming, practical, and easy to adapt to your needs. And seeing the businesses we’ve worked with expand over time really proves that the right investment, combined with passion, can make a real difference.

We just wanted to take a moment to say thank you to all our customers past and present. It’s been such a privilege to be part of your journey, and we can’t wait to see what the next few years bring.

If you’re thinking about starting your own glamping venture or simply want a beautiful, bespoke shepherd’s hut for your land, we’d love to help. It’s always a pleasure to guide people through the process and see their ideas come to life.

We wish you all a fantastic Christmas and a Happy New Year

Just a quick update: We are still very busy making our huts. We have lots of returning glamping clients, and it is fab to work with them again!!

We are currently working on a double hut, which we are building on site. It’s coming along beautifully. 

We have had the pleasure of working with some amazing clients over the years. We have built glamping huts, office huts, beauty huts, and huts for extra accommodation.

A few years ago, we even made a hut for a kitchen our client who makes cakes using vegetables and we had the privilege of being sent a few and they were absolutely amazing.  

Please do feel free to drop an email, call or text, and we can start the journey of making your bespoke hut.

The hut is based in Church Stretton a local town that has lots to offer. 

Loads of beautiful walking, cycling and hacking routes. Superb restaurants and a renowned antiques market.

Well it’s been an amazing day. A fabulous team made a little boy who has been very sad, able to put a lovely smile on his face.
Julie and her son Tom, brought a hut of us a few years ago.
It was for Tom and his little son HarrI to spend time in chilling while he’s dad was in remission from Cancer.
Every weekend no matter what the weather they slept out in the hut!!
Then Julie called with sad news a couple of weeks ago to say Tom’s cancer had come back and he had passed.
As a wonderful mum and Nan, she wanted to see if there is anything that we could think of!
Tom was only 33, Harry now 11 is beside him self. So Julie called to say how can we take the hut down.
As a wonderful mum and Nan, she wanted to see if there is anything that we could think of!
Well the hut was built on site as a solid unit- so came the task and I have to say some very amazing men.
After speaking to Paul Stealey @ T C & P Stealey, he offered to crane the hut out!!
He did not charge and gave up his time and his huge crane!!
Stuart Corfield offered to drive the hut to its new location to be with Harri and this is what happened today.
Some amazing men with huge hearts met my wonderful hubby and fantastic son and they craned the hut out and delivered it to a very happy little boy!!
Then Stuart and Ozzie Fox had the huge task of unloading and putting it into place. Now when Harri is feeling lost and missing his Dad he has a place to go to- where there are memories of him and his Dad.
Harri cried,I’ve shed many a tear over this and I think even those big blooming amazing men had tears!!
The world is a better place with you all!!
