Hornington Manor, a North Yorkshire wedding venue, has welcomed eight themed Shepherd Huts to add to its accommodation offering.
Perfect for big-day guests, or newlyweds post-vows looking for a staycation retreat, each hut takes inspiration from Yorkshire and beyond with themes ranging from Arabia to the 1940s. The huts offer escapism toguests by portraying exciting new locations and eras.
The first hut, The Fenton, takes its name from an aerodrome just outside of Hornington, which served as a frontline fighter station in the 1940s. This hut is embellished with memorabilia of wartime Britain, including artwork of the country's finest planes; while The Egyptologist hut is inspired by Yorkshireman and writer George Sandys, one of the first to suggest that the pyramids may be great tombs. The hut is influenced by treasures and artefacts found in the country. These are just two of the inspiring themes that guests can enjoy.
Each bespoke hut can sleep two people in a luxury king-size Harrison Spinks bed, and comes complete with a television, kitchenette, wifi, an en suite with shower and breathtaking views.
