  • "We had an incredible stay, 2 adults and 2 children!"

    We arrived New Year’s Eve, the cabin was spotless and had all the essentials which was so much easier than having to worry about taking down bedding/ towels etc! The kids absolutely loved the little bed in the cupboard, feeling like they had their own little den. The area is beautiful, so peaceful and wholesome. We watched some local fireworks on New Year’s Eve with the stove fire on and a nice hot chocolate, it was incredibly cosy. We could have stayed forever!! It was such a cosy, relaxing refresh after all the Christmas chaos, we will 100% be back. Could not recommend enough!!

  • "We absolutely loved our 4 night stay in the Hazel shepherds hut."

    The hut was pristine with everything we needed. Our 5 year old loved the fairy lit bedroom and playing out on the large grass area. Perfect location for visiting the Cotswolds with most beautiful villages only being 30 minutes away. Would 100% recommend and we will definitely be back!

  • "We had a wonderful stay at Rachel's Shepherd's Hut."

    The grounds were peaceful and the small lake/pool was amazing! Rachel was super helpful and even sent me back things we left by the pool. I can't recommend this place highly enough! Thanks, Rachel!

    Thank you Marisa, we are so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us and that you made such good use of the swim pond. Property Owner

  • "I had a fabulous stay at Rachel and Greg's hut deep in glorious Oxfordshire countryside."

    The hut was pristine, the site is on farm land in a lovely old village with a really nice pub in walking distance and we had our very own lovely natural dip pool to use. There are also good walks around and it's close to Oxford and the Thames. I really recommend it.

    Bronwyn, Thank you for all of your warm words. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us and made use of the swim pond. Please do come back! Rachel Property Owner

  • "An unforgettable weekend getaway!"

    We hired out all the cottages as a group of 11, with a few extras staying nearby, and had the most amazing weekend. The accommodation was absolutely beautiful — thoughtfully designed and perfect for a group. My kids especially loved their cosy little snug area lit by fairy lights — such a magical touch! One of the highlights was the host's attention to detail, like the children’s books thoughtfully placed in each cabin. It really made us feel at home. Our only regret? Not staying longer. We’ve already decided to make this our annual trip. Huge thanks to the host — we’ll definitely be back next year!

    Thanks so much Johanna. It was wonderful to have you all here as a group with your children, enjoying the facilities. We look forward to welcoming you back next year! Property Owner
