Shepherds hut holiday rentals in Forest of Dean

Carol and George’s Shepherd hut is a little piece of heaven. It is tucked away in a quiet place between fields and mountains with endless views and sunshine. We could hear nothing but the birdsong and cattle. The garden is private and has the most stunning sunset view. We could not have asked for a better break from the bustling city life. Carol and George gave us a warm welcome on arrival which was a sweet personal touch. We would definitely return!!

We had such a lovely time at the shepherds hut, a perfectly peaceful and quiet get away - just what we needed! Great location for picturesque walks. We walked along Offas Dyke took 2.5 hrs straight from the hut. The local town had everything you needed only a short drive or 20 min walk away. We grabbed a takeaway pizza from Daphnes which was very delicious. Despite wet weather all weekend it did not dampen our spirits. The covered kitchen was a perfect location to cosy up and watch the thunder and lightning. It had everything you needed to make breakfast. The provided bread, bacon, eggs & milk were a lovely addition. The bed was very very comfy and the hut was clean, tidy & cosy. The hill up to the hut is steep but the provided wheelbarrow helped. Leaving in the rain was hilarious.

Gorgeous hut tucked away in the beautiful countryside, surround by rolling hills and farmlife. I would highly recommend Rosalind's beautiful space if you want a true experience of the english countryside and a bit of peace and quiet. The hut looks exactly like the photos, great built in kitchen and all the amenities you can need. If you are an animal lover like myself definitely was a plus to be surrounded by their beautiful dogs and farm animals ! Great private space but are still connected to the farm if you need support with anything which was comforting. Rosalind was lovely and responsive. Will come back again :)

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 place to spend a few days in peace in quiet. The hot tub was amazing and the hosts are very friendly. The hut is in close proximity to the Wye Valley, which is a great place to explore.

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

I have stayed at Gilwern several times, and as with each previous occasion I found Emma had made a huge effort to ensure the accommodation was very comfortable and well presented. I love the views, the peace and quiet, and always enjoy trying to find a fossil in the quarry. I will hope for another return trip in a year or two.

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.

Had a fantastic stay at Stardust’s Shepherd hut. The location was tucked away and private but not miles from shops etc. The hot tub and pizza oven were a great touch. The pigs love the crusts which added to the experience! Would definitely stay again.

A rather wonderful find! The Rumple Hut has been well thought out and very well equipped! The bed is very comfortable, having a snuggle sofa has been brilliant! The hot tub is a real bonus. Anthony has been very informative regarding where to visit and what is around in the surrounding area. On our arrival, we were greeted with freshly baked bread and scones drinkies 😋Delicious! We really felt spoilt! The Rumple Hut was very relaxing and was a fantastic stay! Highly recommend!

Beautiful little shepards hut, good location. Had a great stay, thank you Jules for letting us stop and soak in the wonderful views

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.

Just returned from a two-night stay at Mistletoe Hut – such a peaceful and relaxing escape. The host provided clear instructions and excellent communication throughout. We needed some extra wood during our stay, and the response was prompt with easy-to-follow guidance. The hot tub was a real bonus, perfect for a quiet, romantic break. The hut was absolutely spotless and had everything we needed. We were pleasantly surprised to find the hot tub, fire pit, and indoor log burner all stocked and ready to go – a really thoughtful touch. Thank you also for the milk and fresh apple juice – they were a real treat in the morning. We were greeted by cows and sheep on arrival, which added to the charm of the place. The views were absolutely stunning, and we’ll definitely be returning! Highly recommended.

Lovely stay in the Shepards hut which was just as pictured and described. Very kind, responsive and helpful hosts.

Wow what an experience from the moment I arrived I felt at home. Duncan and his family are beautiful, kind people very responsive and accommodating. It was idyllic, peaceful, heaven on earth type of place with everything you need and all ecofriendly. A luxurious camping experience with hot showers, compost toilet and outdoor covered kitchen area. I was attending seminars and didnt get time to use the hot tub. 'Bob' the Shepherds Hut is amazing, good quality and tasteful furishing. The bed is so comfortable I fell fast asleep as soon as I hit the pillows. Lanterns are provided, wellies and I love the little fairy lights inside at night. My favourite thing about the place was the little swing as you enter the area, I couldn't resist having a go everytime I went passed. I would definitely recommend this place. I didn't want to go home. Will definitely return again thanks Duncan and Julie xxx

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!

I had a wonderful stay! It was just what I needed. The shepherds hut has everything you need and Sharon is very helpful and responsive. There’s also lots to see and do in the surrounding area as well as being a lovely place to hang out and relax.

Loved our stay. Naunton was beautiful was a friendly pub.

My partner and I stayed in this adorable Shepard's hut in Ledbury for two nights. I've never stayed in a tiny house/cabin, but have always wanted to. I can say that I was not disappointed in the slightest 😊 Helens Shepard's hut was exactly as the pictures show, if not even more beautiful in person! The surroundings were stunning, with lots of wildlife (mainly birds, so bird watchers would be right at home!), very quiet and private 😊 The cabin itself was immaculate with everything you would need for cooking and cleaning up, nothing was missing! Plus Helen was a gem allowing us to check in early and check out later, we definitely appreciated that 😊 and more so, she was very friendly. I would absolutely stay here again in a heartbeat if I travel up this way again 👍

A beautiful experience. Very peaceful. Especially loved a little window out on to the green right in front of our bed. In rainy windy weather the hot tub really took a lot of time to heat up. We went through a bucket of wood just to get it to temperature, but it was so worth it and stayed warm for many hours, so future visitors, don’t give up! Thank you for everything, had a wonderful time

This has to be one of the loveliest Airbnbs we’ve ever stayed in. It was cosy, clean and came with all the essentials that you’d come to expect at an airbnb but don’t always find. There was a fresh sourdough on the table and pint of milk in the fridge. The surroundings are so beautiful. We’d come back to the hut just for some peace and quiet. Tom, our host, was an absolute gentleman. Was on hand when we needed him and was very responsive. You can see the effort that he puts into the huts and surrounding areas. More Airbnb’s could learn a thing or two from Tom. Thanks for having us!

We had the most amazing time staying in this beautiful shepherd’s hut. From the moment we arrived, everything felt peaceful and perfect. The hut itself is cozy, charming, and immaculately kept – the attention to detail really made it feel special. Waking up to the views and the sounds of nature was just what we needed. Janine, our host, was absolutely lovely – so kind, welcoming, and thoughtful. She really went the extra mile to make sure we had everything we needed and more. Even decorating the hut with birthday banners. It’s rare to meet someone so genuinely caring and hospitable. The surrounding area is just stunning – peaceful countryside, lovely walks, and a real sense of escape. We felt relaxed and refreshed the entire time. We couldn’t recommend this place enough, and we’ll definitely be coming back. Thank you, Janine, for such a wonderful stay ☺️

Our stay at the Shepherds hut exceeded our expectations. It was beautiful inside and out, spotlessly clean, tasteful decor and had everything we needed for a relaxed and pleasant stay. The view was stunning and Lacock is 15 min walk away. We were fortunate with the weather but it would still be great in the cold or rain. Our host Dilly was lovely and would definitely stay there again. Highly recommend.
