Shepherds hut holiday rentals in Darwen

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.

Stayed here for 2 nights for the bank holiday weekend. The area was beautiful, the Lodge itself was modern and very clean. It made for a perfect get away with the private Hot Tub and cosy fireplace over looking the scenic view. Lodge was very private and secure. They provided firewood and blankets for the nights we were there and hosted a small shop for immediate conveniences such as drinks and snacks. Their information booklet had detailed lists of local shops, restaurants and nearby walks which was amazing, it saved us a lot of effort in a new area trying to find things to explore. We didn't get chance to check out the farm they had with several animals but were lucky enough to have the farm house cats come visit us each morning which we loved!

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!

Good place, little cousin loved the hot tub. Very clean, well kitted out for me and the dog

Celebrated our 1 year anniversary and it was absolutely lovely, we are definitely going back! Lynden was so lovely and gave clear instructions that made finding eveything so easy, love our tour of the farm and feeding all the animals that were so friendly! The room was really nice and decorated so beautifully & really appreciated the complimentary snacks. We loved the hot tub, lighting the fire for our marshmallows, and how close the animals got to us! Was a lovely place to stay felt so at home and welcomed, would define my recommend :)

Our stay was perfect - we loved it. The views our amazing; it is very peaceful and the hot tub and fire were a bonus.

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.

We absolutely loved our long weekend in the cabins, so peaceful and private with gorgeous across the valley. We particularly enjoyed the hammock on the long sunny evenings! Graham and Pip were very friendly and helpful, giving us local recs and have truly thought of everything - the cabins were well-stocked with everything you could need and were a delightful place to stay. Could not recommend these lovely cabins more for a memorable and characterful stay in the Brecons.

My husband and I stayed here for a last minute anniversary break. The property was easy to locate and check in. Communication with Danielle was easy however not much was necessary as everything in the details provided were clear. The property and location itself was a beautiful sight and was funnily made special being greeted by the little lambs near the property. There were also sheep and a few horses in the field in front of the property which added to the lovely view. The tiny home is so cozy and has everything you’d need for a nice getaway. We also made use of the hot tub which was such a lovely first experience. Will definitely be happy to return to the tiny home.

We had the most magical stay at this shepherd’s hut in the beautiful West Yorkshire countryside! Surrounded by absolutely stunning views, it was the perfect peaceful escape from daily life. We brought our binoculars and were amazed by the local wildlife. During our stay we spotted an owl, deer, peacocks, oyster catchers, and so many more. A real highlight was feeding apples to the friendly Highland cows in the field right next to the hut, such a unique and special experience. The hut itself was immaculately presented and by far the best Airbnb we’ve stayed at in the UK. It had everything we could possibly need and more. Thoughtfully designed, cosy, and comfortable, it felt like a real home away from home. The location is ideal too, just a short 10-minute drive to Haworth, a charming and quaint village steeped in history, perfect for a day out exploring. Cate was a lovely host—very responsive and helpful. A small suggestion would be to add a curtain on the door window!

Honestly we had the most amazing stay. beautiful surroundings and darren the host was 5 star he made us feel very welcome right from the start he showed us around and then left us to it. The bbq area and hot tub made it the perfect evening, so peaceful. Also was at hand for any questions with very quick response also sent links of places to visit it is definitely a weekend we will remember forever. Thankyou so much we would love to come back at stay again 🥂🛖

Absolutely loved our stay, so peaceful and quiet! Jim and Sarah were great hosts, very friendly and helpful, will definitely be returning.

Just what we needed for a weekend break. Stunning location. Would recommend to anyone looking for a country side get away.

The most beautiful stay in Ivan’s shepherds hut. Amazing location close to everything you’d want in the wye valley and you’re completely surrounded by nature when there. It’s got everything you could need and was the perfect place for a relaxing weekend. Could not recommend enough!

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

Stunning peaceful surroundings and a beautiful shepherds hut. Hosts were so friendly and lovely added touches like milk and biscuits on arrival. Had sheep and horses for neighbours which was great. Only a short drive into Cheltenham and pubs not far. Would definitely recommend. We stayed 15th -18th June 2025.

Wonderfully peaceful location. Sitting outside by the stream in the evenings with a glass of wine and listening to the birdsong was the perfect way to end some busy days at Hay Festival (which was a pleasant 25 min drive through lovely scenery on very quiet roads). Superb hosts, helpful and responsive. The hut had everything we needed and the beds were very comfortable. Would recommend!

Lovely Shepherd hut which was beautifully presented and had lots of space. Brilliant views from the large windows, glass doors and lovely outside sitting area. We loved using the pizza oven. Laura was very helpful with all instructions. Will stay again!

Ashley and his family were great, very helpful and friendly. The shepherds hut is spotless and has everything you need. It is so peaceful and the views from the hut are absolutely amazing. We very much enjoyed our stay. Thanks very much.

A lovely place to go away for a weekend retreat to relax! Beautiful scene and views. We took our little dog and the enclosed area around the hut was great for him to run around in nice and secure - the gates do have a little gap under so just keep an eye if you have a small sneaky escapee dog!

Wonderful shepherds hut. Surprisingly spacious, immaculately clean and very well equipped. Located in a lovely part of The Peak District with views of the surrounding countryside and neighbouring cows! Lots of great walking right on your doorstep, will definitely return :)

What an absolute gem of a place. Beautiful accommodation in the most peaceful surroundings. The hut was immaculate with plenty of facilities. Sitting in the hot tub with the most amazing views has been delightful. An absolute must to visit to recharge the batteries. Highly recommend this lovely hut - We will definitely return.

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!

An emergency stay that turned into a tranquil lovely evening. Everything was as described and more private than expected. Dogs are welcome - it would have been nice to be able to let them off the leads in the area in front of the cabin. Would definitely recommend and the view over the fields morning and evening are lovely.
