Shepherds hut holiday rentals in Cotswolds

This is the third time I've stayed in Katherine's 'shepherd's hut'. It is a beautifully situated, cosy and peaceful retreat from which to explore Oxford. Katherine is a great host, friendly and helpful without being at all intrusive. I'm sure I'll be back for a fourth time soon.

Loved staying here for a second year in a row. The hideaway hut is tranquil and the perfect break from a busy life. Love nothing more than relaxing in the hot tub and listening to nature surrounding us. Thanks again for another perfect weekend away!

An amazing place to stay for a few nights away, loved my time there in such a peaceful beautiful location !

Amazing stay at Mark’s shepherds hut. Incredible location, super peaceful and as described. Well kitted out. We had a lovely BBQ and enjoyed some marshmallows say around the fire. The abbey nearby was worth a visit and had a swim in the river. Would definitely visit again. Thanks Mark.

lovely weekend stay. fantastic location, and the hut and amenities are great. The hot tub was a great place to relax as the sun went down in the evening Plenty of walking options from the site and very dog friendly too would recommend to others

I booked this for my parents in law and Sue was brilliant. Very warm and welcoming and was happy for us to visit them as much as we liked. Beautiful garden with beautiful views, will definitely be booking again.

We had such a lovely stay here, the hut was perfect! Had everything we needed and was very clean. We’d definitely come back

A delightful and charming place to stop and relax. Everything was superb - the hut, its private garden, the thoughtful book selection, the bed linen which smelt of fresh air, the warm croissants and home made jams. Daisy the retriever, was the icing on the cake. Sarah and Frank are warm, available as needed but respectful of privacy.

This is our second time of coming and we'll be coming again. Clive and Ann are generous hosts, extremely helpful and kind. We look forward to returning in 2026. James and Janie

We had a lovely stay in the shepard’s hut and everything was as described. Gail and john were both very helpful and friendly. Would definitely come stay again!!

Me and my friends had a wonderful time at the Showman's hut. Everything was just as we had imagined. Peaceful and relaxing. The only problem we had was that we should have booked the hot tub 48 hours in advance and I did 24 instead so we could not use the hot tub. In the end Neily was very accommodating by giving us some extra logs for the firepit and barbeque which we appreciated. Next time I will make sure to book the tub in advance to enjoy the full experience at Showman's hut as it looked amazing. Thank you Neily for the hospitality.

This was our second visit in less than six months. It is a true escape. There is no one nearby. The only sound is nature: small birds singing in the hedge and owls in the trees. There were rabbits just metres away and bats flying really near. The hut is well equipped, but best of all was the hot tub; heated by a fire which you light and keep going. We used one of the maps for the hike through the countryside. I recommend walking up to the ridge. It is a tranquil idyll and the perfect escape from twenty-first century life.

Had a beautiful evening at the Wagon! Was just what me and my friend needed to unwind. Hot tub is a great touch and the entire space perfect for relaxing. Very well thought out, cosy, comfortable! Look forward to coming again! Thank you

A wonderfully peaceful two night stay in lovely wooden shepherds hut set amongst the tree’s. The hut was super cosy with everything we needed, plus a great size comfortable bed. Lovely view over the countryside, we really enjoyed being able to sit outside watching nature. Host was spot on, fantastic communication and very accommodating. Loved the screenshot walking guide, we followed it and it led us to the pub so we were very pleased! Some treats were left for us, the farm shop muesli was absolutely delicious so thank you for that.

An absolutely beautiful place to stay! My husband and I spent our 1st wedding anniversary here and couldn’t have chosen better. Waking up to the stunning countryside views was incredibly peaceful and serene. Each day, we took short trips into Bath to explore the city, then returned to the calm and comfort of the countryside in the evening, it was the perfect balance. Laura was a wonderfully friendly and responsive host, ensuring everything was spotless for our arrival. She even left us some delicious local food, which made for the perfect breakfast on our first morning.

Arrived at 3pm check in, the road down there is a bit hectic but fine if you take it easy, my Fiesta managed it just fine. The Hut on the Hill was exactly like the pictures, inviting and cosy, and Mandy and David had gone out of their way to make personal touches such as fresh eggs, fresh bread and beautifully creamy fresh milk. Usually when Ben and I have gone to other locations with hot tubs the towels have been small and limited, but Mandy and David ensured there were large towels, and spare, and sliders too! Plus some beautiful towel dressing gowns. Mandy was very responsive and reassuring when I wanted to ensure we were parked in the right spot. The hot tub was already warm and easy to navigate, and we slept so well in the bed! The dog too enjoyed his freedom which was a major highlight for us. You can order food and wine from the hosts and if we'd stayed longer, we definitely would of. This place was beyond our expectations and would love to come back.

The most wonderful stay in the most beautiful little hut. From the moment I arrived I felt instantly relaxed. Emily has created the most perfectly peaceful space, inside and out. She is also a wonderful host & was able to help me with my forgotten item. Waking up to the sound of the birds, with the greenery outside the window was my favourite part. Emily’s hut is a delightfully comfortable space and the log burner keeps you very cosy in the evening. The village itself is also delightful to walk around, there is plenty to explore in the area and a great pub on the doorstep. The only downside was checking out.

We had the best break away staying at Sharon's beautiful shepherds hut, the scenery was so beautiful, and it was the perfect place to unwind, our two dogs loved the hut and the enclosed garden, as well as exploring all of the public walkways. Sharon is a wonderful host and you will have the best holiday if you choose this little gem for your stay.

What can we say! Cherry was so very warm and welcoming. The little extras she supplies. The hut is beautiful, and it was so peaceful and pretty. To just sit and hear just the birds bees cows and sheep was just magical. We had 2 bbqs and had the fire pit lit both nights. Saw a beautiful sunset, and was just the most relaxing weekend away we have ever had. We will definitely be booking again.

We had a wonderful stay at Helen & Chris’s shepherds hut! They are the perfect hosts—friendly, welcoming, and incredibly responsive. The hut itself is absolutely beautiful, immaculately presented, and thoughtfully equipped with everything you could need. Set on a quiet country lane with stunning views towards the Malvern Hills, it’s the ideal spot for a peaceful countryside retreat. It truly has everything a couple could want for a relaxing escape. We highly recommend it and will definitely be returning in the future!

We had a great stay at Shepards View. Super cosy and in such beautiful surroundings - watching the horses in the morning was lovely! The location was perfect aswell, so easy to get to all the places to visit in the Cotswolds. Our dog loved the enclosed garden. Hosts were very helpful, not that we really needed anything but all instructions were helpful! Would highly recommend a stay!

We absolutely loved our stay at ‘The Bibury’! Only a short drive from Burford, it was a wonderfully peacefully escape in such a gorgeous setting. The facilities were fantastic and the welcome basket was a lovely treat on arrival - the wood-fired hot tub was an added bonus! The hosts were really friendly and helpful. We would definitely reccomend to others visiting the Cotswolds :)

Rachel is an amazing host. Let us know that we could check in early and greeted us with some delicious cake and milk. The hut is beautiful and the outside space is great for dogs. The land is great and you don’t feel like you are staying on someone’s property it feels very secluded and we could walk the dog around Rachel’s field which was great. On a hot summers day the hut can get quite toasty which is something to be mindful of if you have a dog but Rachel does provide a fan which is great for cooling down. Kitchen was well equipped with a hob, oven and microwave. Great fire pit and BBQ. Overall amazing stay at Rachel’s Shepherd Hut!

We have just returned from two nights away and we are so sad to be home. The shepherds hut felt like our own little piece of heaven set in a beautiful location. Bryony had thought of everything we might need- milk in the fridge, eggs, robes, towels etc and even a bar of chocolate! If you want to switch off and relax then this is the place for you!
