I.About the place

Set in the groundsof a country house.

Squirrels' Nest is a one-bedroom cabin of its own, tucked into the private grounds of a country house in the Berkshire countryside. It's just the one space — a super king bed, a little kitchen, a walk-in shower and your own courtyard — so the whole place is yours for as long as you stay.

Outside the door there's woodland on every side, and the easy sounds of the place: horses over the fence, chickens and ducks, a friendly cat or dog wandering past. Quiet, comfortable, and full of character — somewhere to slow right down for a night or two.

The shepherd's hut

And a shepherd's hut, just across the grounds.

For a little more room, a charming shepherd's hut sits on the grounds — optional, and all your own. It sleeps two more: perfect for friends, or family travelling with you. Its own door, the same quiet.

Lodge sleeps two. Hut sleeps two more. Four, in all.

Zoe's collection

A showroom you can sleep in.

Squirrels' Nest is also Zoe's showroom. Much of what fills it is her own: the hand-upholstered chairs, the painted lamps, the folding screens, the little finds picked up along the way. Nothing is roped off, and nothing is precious for the sake of it.

Stay the night, live with the pieces, and if something catches your eye, it can come home with you. Just ask, and Zoe will sort the rest.
