Wells Shepherd Huts: We manufacture the perfect shepherd’s hut to meet your needs and specifications.
Wells Shepherd Huts is located in Ribchester, Lancashire. The business has grown from a simple idea that is inspired by the historic English Victorian shepherd hut from which shepherds tended to their flocks of sheep.
The 21st Century shepherd’s hut allows the hut to become a home office, spare bedroom, art studio, writers room, shooting lodge, holiday or glamping rental, whilst still encompassing their notable origins.
Their uses are endless.
We strive to create a unique shepherd’s hut just for you.
The inside of the shepherd’s huts are both beautiful and functional.
While shepherd’s huts are confined to certain dimensions, we utilise smart ways to make the best use of their space. Why not take a look at some of our previous huts for inspiration and then speak to us about your specific ideas.

What our customers have to say about us:
Hillside Hut, Cockerham
We have recently purchased a shepherds hut from Ian and Joanne who are extremely professional and nothing is too much trouble. We were kept in touch right through the build and they went above and beyond to build it to our specifications, definitely go the extra mile. The finish is of an exceptionally high standard and would have no reservations in recommending Wells Shepherds Huts. Delivery was spot on and Ian didn’t leave until he was 100% happy with the siting of the hut.

We were looking for a company to provide a top of the range Shepherds Hut, to be sited across the lane from our house. We wanted a bespoke Shepherds Hut in a convenient country location, which could be a home-from-home holiday getaway for couples for many years to come. We looked at several web sites and made follow-up phone calls and then arranged to visit the Wells Team at Ribchester, near Preston in Lancashire. It soon became obvious that we had made a good choice, Ian and Joanne have been a great help in the design and build of our hut. We were able to see their show hut and we were encouraged to add our own ideas and features. We were always kept very well informed of the pricing of the project and never had any doubts as to the very high quality of Ian’s carpentry skills. All of the materials, including the framework, are top quality and traditional and will last a long time. The interior has been fitted with top-end electrical and plumbing appliances and again we were involved with the choice of these and also the interior decoration. We chose to make our own soft furnishings and Ian fitted the curtain poles and Joanne put up the curtains for us.By the time the hut was delivered to the site it was complete, just needed connecting to the services and we were ready to go. Ian and Joanne have assured us of their continued support in case any problems arise and feel that besides a substantial business venture, we have also made new friends.
