  • "We had a wonderful stay in this charming shepherd’s hut."

    The location is absolutely lovely—peaceful, quiet, and surrounded by beautiful countryside. It was the perfect place to unwind. The hut itself is surprisingly spacious, with cosy bunkbeds. It’s very well equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We loved how easy it was to get to nearby places like Witney, Standlake, Burford, and Oxford—ideal for day trips and exploring the area. There’s also a fantastic pub within walking distance, which was a real bonus. One of the highlights for the boys was the field with small football nets and swimming pond—plenty of space to run around and play games. All in all, a peaceful retreat with great amenities and an ideal location. We’ll definitely be back!

    Thanks Joanne! We are so glad you and your family had such a great time. We look forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner
