If you’re going to set up a glampsite, it’s more likely than not that you’ll need some sort of planning permission. Pike, Smith, Kent Rural who have worked with several Arbor Shepherd huts customers, offer a free initial planning consultation to those looking to set up a glampsite.

Managing a glampsite can be quite a labour intensive business. Our partner, Hosting Homes, offers a turnkey solution that manages everything from marketing the site, to running the day-to-day operations. They can also help with planning a glampsite and accessing finance.

The true magic of shepherds huts lies in their bespoke nature. Unlike off-the-shelf solutions, our charming huts are tailored to you.

Arbor specialises in crafting bespoke shepherds huts designed to seamlessly blend with their natural surroundings. They offer a variety of sizes and layouts, allowing you to personalise your hut to your specific needs and desires.
