Shepherds hut holiday rentals in Cherwell District

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.

We stayed for our mini honeymoon, it was just perfect! We were allowed to bring our small dog to, which just made it even more special. The area was so peaceful and beautiful. The hut itself was great, cute little features and very clean. The bath outside was brilliant. We would stay here again!

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 :)

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.

Very close to, just 15 minutes, but out of the sprawl of Oxford; in beautiful farmland with fabulous walks and charming pubs, rivers for dipping into. Beautifully decorated space with everything one needs, quietly located in the corner of a field. Really comfortable bed with cushions, perfect place to read, with good light and a window. Recommend local-ish Mason Arms for relaxed coffee and papers. Good shower and thoughtful makeup mirrors in communal bathroom. Very quick response (booked hours before!) and kind and welcoming welcome.

I booked this for my parents in law and Sue was brilliant. Very warm and welcoming and was happy for us to visit them as much as we liked. Beautiful garden with beautiful views, will definitely be booking again.

Catriona was a superb host! we really enjoyed our stay at the beautiful shepherds hut, the picture don’t do it justice. It’s full of character right down to the last detail and it’s so well equipped you have everything you could possibly need and more. We loved the fact it was dog friendly and had the little things you could need for your furry friends! The hut is so private and had a fantastic garden space (very secure if you have dogs), including a lovely outside dinning area with a BBQ and pizza oven. We will definitely be back!!

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 🥂🛖

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

Sandra was very kind right from the beginning, offering photos and clear details on checking in and the surrounding area. There was even printed walking trails with local history descriptions. The space is lovely and very peaceful, couldn't have asked for a better two days in the countryside

Loved everything about the Shepherds hut and it exceeded our expectations. It was a great location, clean, well-stocked, and Nick was a generous, personable and helpful host, who welcomed us and provided useful information. Would definitely visit again.

Fantastic place to stay, beautiful surroundings and very peaceful. Hosts are great with information and any help needed. Would highly recommend!

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.

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

We gad a great time at Emma's Shepherd's Hut. It was exactly as described in a lovely location that was nice and quiet.

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

Had a lovely stay! Beautiful hut and so many great little touches. Will be recommending to friends and family!

We had a lovely stay, the place was exactly as described and had everything you could think of. Very clean, very comfortable and somewhere I would love to stay again

We had such a lovely stay at Rowena’s shed. really cute and clean spot and the view was amazing! Would have love to stayed longer…;) 🥰

we had the loveliest weekend at Rachaels shepherd hut, the hut was so pretty, beautifully presented and spotlessly clean, so lovely to have a safe secure garden for our dog too, Rachael was lovely, greeted us on arrival and left us a lovely lemon drizzle cake and milk for a very welcome cuppa when we had unpacked. even our dog was treated to a towel, treats poop bags and a feed bowl, these personnel touches made our stay so special, Rachael even bought a doggy pool for our dog as we were having a heatwave, the hut was a home from home, everything you need was provided, shes the best host, and we highly recommend her little holiday home,and we're definitely going back , we didn't want to leave!

The most amazing stay! Every single thing was perfect 👏🏼 The hot tub was ready for our arrival, they had put up a lovely anniversary banner for us and chocolates on the bed. Bryony was really helpful with any questions I had prior to coming. The location and views are just beautiful. We didn't want to leave and cannot wait to return. It was immaculate and we had everything we needed. My favorite place I have ever stayed in. Thank you Bryony & Joe x

A fabulous shepherd’s hut renovated from scratch by the owners. Everything was so well thought out meaning we had all that was needed and more for a lovely peaceful stay. We stayed for a couple of nights and walked to the King William IV the first night where we enjoyed spectacular views and a great meal. Ipsden itself is a small and totally unspoilt village with lots of local footpaths. My husband brought his bike and enjoyed a couple of rides in the beautiful undulating countryside. It was such a lovely place we would like to return some time in the future and spend a little more time exploring the area.

Beautiful location overlooking a lake, complete with ducks, geese and fish. Our cabin was clean and comfortable with a good shower. Loved sitting on the decking watching the sun go down
