Rural holidays offer city dwellers a chance to connect with nature, and get away from the hubbub of urban life.
While popular in spring and summer months, pastoral options can be hard to keep comfortable in the colder seasons. As a result, owners of staycation solutions keen to maximise their returns must ensure the cottages and other accommodation they offer is well-heated.
To this end, it comes as little surprise that Ashwood Sheperd’s Hut in the Cotswold has been fitted with an underfloor heating (UFH) system. With hillside views and nestled in the Worcestershire countryside, the staycation option specialises in providing tranquillity and rest to its guests in an area of natural beauty. However, it has been designed for use all-year round making it an ideal option for winter breaks.
The oak clad building has hessian-covered walls in a effort to maximise heating retention. While for visual cosiness and rural charm, the hut has a log burner, its primary source of warmth is UFH. To succeed, hospitality sector professionals must always create a sense of comfort and luxury for their guests.
Not only does UFH supply sumptuous heat levels for a luxe experience, but it also steals no space from living areas. All wiring or piping is secreted between floor coverings ensuring it never encroaches on wall space, unlike more conventional heating solutions.
In the case of the shepherd’s hut, this has left more room for the king-size bed and copper bathtub designed by William Holland.
