Shepherds hut holiday rentals in River Thames

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.

An absolutely dreamy escape for two! complete with scenic views, and enough special touches to feel at home. Fiona made everything so comfortable and we look forward to coming back!

Great spot with all the basics needed for a short stay

Located in a wonderful private garden full of flowers and birdsong. Next to walks and good for cycling; definitely planning to come back.

Perfect for our short stay in Milton Keynes, hut was lovely and was nice to have some tea and biscuit provisions. Easy check in and a beautiful area to be set up at. Hut is right next to the farm house and store. Fortunately we had no noise from either. Overall very pleased, only slight issue was that the bathroom fan wasn't working (or we couldn't work out how to turn it on) so it got very humid in there, some signs of mould but could be related to the fan so I'm sure will get fixed soon.

Everything was just perfect. Very easy checkin, clear instructions on how to use everything, beautifully furnished with great amenities, loved that we could buy local produce too. Highly recommend staying here if you want to be at one with nature and have a few days to switch off. We will definitely be back!!

What a beautiful cabin/shepherds hut and location. I booked a solo weekend getaway and travelled by train from London, getting a taxi from Woking. All easy. Hosts came to say hello and were super friendly and welcoming. I went on a couple of nice walks but could have easily hung around the cabin all weekend. Perfect for solo getaway or as a couple. Thanks

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.

Absolutely amazing stay at Laura’s place! Lovely location and the place was well equipped with everything we needed! Hot tub was easy to work and got very hot which was lovely! And we appreciated the extra snacks provided in our welcome basket! The peppermint tea was 10/10. Laura was very helpful from my first message. Highly recommend this place and we will definitely look at coming back!

Really lovely cabin, well looked after and very clean. Host was very helpful and pleasant. As others have written, the cabin is located near the house and not quite in the middle of the woods as expected, but hosts fully respected privacy and we only saw them on arrival. Toilet is a little cramped but otherwise everything was perfect. A really lovely stay

We had a really wonderful stay at The Burrow. The hut is beautiful, very well thought out with everything you need, all with its own place. The hut is in a peaceful location, with a calming view and felt very private. The weather was bad for most of our stay, but we felt very cosy in the hut, reading and painting, and enjoyed exploring the local villages. Rob and Jess were excellent hosts, very responsive over messages and arranged everything for us, including the delicious local produce boxes (would highly recommend!) despite our last minute booking. They’d thought through every detail, including providing towels to dry the buggy. We really appreciated their recommendations in the local area, which made our break even more relaxing as we didn’t have to put much thought into where we went. We enjoyed the Silver Plough, Pumphouse Bakes, Salt and Kimbridge Barn. Thank you very much for a very peaceful and relaxing stay.

This is at least our 8th time staying we absolutely love it here and will always return it’s absolutely peaceful and tranquil Andy and the team are so helpful and friendly would recommend this place to everyone :) already looking forward to our next visit

Our experience at Mo and Ann’s hut was amazing. The place it’s exactly as you see in the pictures. It’s a lovely and comfortable place, very clean, tidy and nicely decorated. You will find everything you need and all environment-friendly. We have really enjoyed our stay and we will be back very soon! Thank you Ann and Mo for your kindness and for making our wedding anniversary unforgettable!

We had a lovely stay at Dom’s place. The location is perfect for a couple of days’ break from London, especially if - like us - you don’t drive; it is just a short distance from the station and for a 40 minute journey from zone 1, feels a world away. Dom was very accommodating, especially as we brought our 3 month old baby. The baby enjoyed his first ever swim in the lovely warm pool! And the rest of the amenities/ the hut itself are equally excellent. Would also highly recommend a trip to the Samuel Palmer pub for a pint of locally brewed ale, and the Mount Vineyard for some excellent wines, both of which are a short walk from the hut. Would definitely stay again, thanks Dom!

My partner and I stayed for 2 nights. We are both very busy professionals and needed to switch off and boy did we! Hamish and Suzie were fantastic. Warm, inviting, friendly, respectful! The list goes on. Little chat to welcome us. Explained we needed to switch off. And that’s exactly what we did. We ate, slept and relaxed and it was perfect! If you’re worried about what facilities and appliances there are. Don’t. Everything. And I mean everything you would need was there. We bought steak and fresh veggies from the royal farm shop and cooked on the bbq and sat watching the sun set. I really couldn’t change a thing! Will be staying again. Kind regards Azza and Nik Xx

Peaceful stay with beautiful views. Everything was well thought through and beautifully laid out. High quality details everywhere. We slept very well and our dog was very happy too. Gorgeous sauna which we didn't get to try but will next time.

The Shepherds Hut was amazing, so cozy, clean and comfortable. Trish has thought of everything. The table and benches turn in to the bed base, with space underneath to store your bags. The bed was really comfortable and we both had a great nights sleep. The shower was great, towels provided. It's in a really quiet location and we had the added pleasure of seeing a glorious peacock on our arrival ! Trish is a really great host, lots of attention to detail such as: fresh free range eggs, cans of gin and tonic, chocolate biscuits, milk and a bottle of cold water in the fridge. Plus marshmallows for melting by a fire and a jar of sweets. Games to play, a folder with details of local pubs (all dog friendly), maps for local walks and booklets of places to visit. We recommend the Red Lion at Castle Eaton, a really friendly and welcoming pub, with very tasty food. We really enjoyed our weekend, so much to do and right in the heart of the Cotswolds. Thank you Trish

I booked this place for my partners birthday for a long weekend. It was lovely to spend a night in the hot tub watching the lovely sunset across the fields and the next day we went to Brighton to enjoy some of the night life. We had a lovely stay and would recommend to anyone!

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 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!

I found Emma's place by accident when I was looking for somewhere for my husband and I to have a couple of days to reset and switch off. It was exactly what I didn't know I needed. The setting is beautiful, and even the rain sounded so peaceful from inside. It's a perfect little bolthole with everything you need and Emma gave us privacy but made sure to keep in touch to see if we needed anything. We took a lovely walk to Balfour winery for a fizzy pitstop before walking round into Marden for some local lunch and then back to the Hut. Exactly the change of scenery we needed. The little gifts of cookies and strawberries were lovely to discover after an evening arrival and the Hut really is decorated perfectly. Is there anything more peaceful than having a cup of tea in bed looking out onto a sea of Christmas trees, listening to the wildlife. We will definitely be back.

Cosy, comfortable and charming shepherd's hut surrounded by beautiful greenery. Peter is a very attentive and friendly host. Came here for the South Downs Way 50k, so the hot tub was a welcome bonus! Would recommend to couples or solo travellers looking for a peaceful countryside retreat.

Our stay was lovely. A very friendly greeting upon arrival, communication was excellent. The place is exactly as shown, very clean and tidy and has everything you would need for your stay. It was very peaceful surrounded by nothing but countryside. There was plenty to do nearby and a visit to the winery a few minutes away is a must for the afternoon. The hot tub is a great addition and was very easy to use and warm up. Overall we had a great stay and would highly recommend. Thank you guys.

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 :)
