The Merry Harriers

The Merry Harriers was originally a 16th Century Village Inn in the heart of Surrey, in a gorgeous village called Hambledon.

Our Arrival

As soon as we arrived, the tone was set. We parked right by the Sheperd’s Huts and we immediately fell in love with the location.

With 5 classic shepherd’s wagons around a small pond, we could see some horses in the fields nearby.

Llama Meet & Greet

After settling in our Shepherd’s Hut, we made it back to the pub as we were booked to meet the llamas.

The Merry Harriers is home to 11 cute llamas. As we arrived with food, they literally ran towards us.

I must say it was quite impressive, but overall, all of them are used to being with humans and they are very gentle, especially Champagne.

He is clearly the most popular thanks to his cute lashes. We stayed among them for about half an hour, feeding them and patting them.

But you can also book a trek or go on a picnic with them! How fun and différent!

So before having dinner, we went for a walk in the country nearby the pub. The fresh air built up our appétit. Parfait before our dinner at the Merry Harriers.

Plus, I loved the inn. It’s like going back in time, looking at the long list of past owners. There is even a painting of what the Merry Harriers looked like back in the day!

L’Atmosphère

The food was what you would expect from a traditional English pub in the country.

And so was the atmosphere! It was great to dine in the back garden while the sun was still there.

You could see that the Merry Harriers is THE place to be seen in the area. We ate among a huge group of cyclists who make it their pit stop every Wednesday night. But also the bridge club who were meeting for dinner.

You can’t make more British than that!

And when we came back to our shepherd’s hut, the hot tub was ready! It takes a few hours for it to get warm but once it is on, it stays hot for quite a while! It was 43°C, so we did not go in on the first night but the following morning instead.

A Luxury Glamping Experience

Staying In A Shepherd’s Hut At The Merry Harriers in Surrey doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice comfort!

Far from it! Indeed, each hut comes with all the amenities you need to make it a comfy and enjoyable stay: a flat screen with Netflix for you to catch up on your fave TV shows, a wood-burning stove to warm up on cold days, and even underfloor heating.

We also loved going in the hot tub first thing in the morning before a délicieux petit-déjeuner, très British!

The hot tub cooled down overnight to reach 37°C. So I enjoyed a sort of spa experience while the boys went to feel Champagne & Co. Pure bliss!

Exploring the Surrey Hills

Another plus? The Merry Harriers is in the heart of Surrey. You can literally see the Surrey Hills from your shepherd’s hut.

It was so beautiful to be in nature. We really enjoyed our walks and being by the pond was so relaxing too.

Even better, you can visit many family-friendly places. We stopped by the Winkworth Arboretum for a walk, before stopping by the nearby town Godalming.

The 95 acres arboretum proved to be a succĂ©s with Stanley. He loved playing for hours in the fortress and walking by the pond, while j’ai prĂ©fĂ©ré the boat house that was dreamy.

    I was literally researching this place yesterday when I saw it on your Instagram. Definitely one of the nicest glamping places I’ve seen and I love the llamas surrounding it. It’s so nice Stanley is exposed to the countryside so much at his age and is comfortable living in small hut. I can’t wait to take my kids glamping once our budget fits it. I think it is a great bonding experience. Having a hot tub in a glamping place would be a bonus too.
