Your Heritage Heirloom

Owning a traditional shepherd hut provides an opportunity to escape the hustle and bustle of modern life, offering a retreat where you can unwind, relax, and reconnect with simpler living.


The merit of owning a Butterfield & Son Hut is that you will enjoy the magical experience of a correctly made, period piece. Each Butterfield hut conveys a timeless quality - an heirloom to last your family generations.


Our aim has always been to produce an authentic Shepherd Hut, worthy of standing shoulder-to-shoulder with some of the original makers.

Original & Sustainable

Our unique expertise comes from studying and restoring many original Shepherd Huts.  For more than 30 years, this knowledge has been embedded in our own craftsman made huts to ensure they are built to last.


From the careful sourcing of local timber to using traditional tools and techniques wherever possible, we work in time-honoured fashion.


This way we create with the environment in mind.

"If you’re looking for a truly authentic shepherd’s hut made by artisan craftsmen then look no further than Butterfield and Son. They use traditional traditions to make their huts, no other company is the same. Their huts will embrace you as soon as you walk up the steps and through the door.

Like me you will be over the moon . I can’t thank Butterfield & Son enough for my beautiful hut and all the wonderful memories it has given me."
