What customers say
Guests rave about this private, peaceful, well-equipped retreat. Enjoy thoughtful touches like homemade cookies & fresh milk, plus host Hayley's helpfulness. Cosy, clean shepherd's huts with ample private outdoor space are perfect for relaxing, even with dogs. A "hidden gem" balancing country quiet with nearby amenities. Minor A429 road noise noted. Highly recommended, with many wanting to return.

Perfect little retreat!
Shepherd's hut
Liked Everything! We could not fault the place.
Facilities were outstanding, well equipped utensils and everything required to cook.
Warm welcome from the host, delicious homemade biscuits and pick and mix treats for our dog Sid.
Such a lovely space to relax and enjoy the surroundings, whilst also feeling very private and enclosed so we could relax and allow our dog to wander and play.
Bed was incredibly comfortable.
Disliked That we couldn’t stay longer!!!

Cosy, clean, private and relaxing
Shepherd's hut
Liked Everything about this place is fabulous. Clean, cosy and private. It has everything you need for a relaxing stay.
10/15 min drive into Stratford upon Avon, 5/10 min drive to Waitrose. There are a couple of national trust sites nearby too.
Our dog really enjoyed herself being able to run around off lead before falling asleep next to the fire.
Communication from the owner Hayley was 10/10.
We will definitely be returning in the future.

absolutely beautiful cabin and outdoor space,…
Shepherd's hut
Liked absolutely beautiful cabin and outdoor space, we needed somewhere to have a break away with a new rescue dog who had never experienced home / family life before we had her. This place exceeded our expectations. it was during a very hot spell that we went and the tree cover and outdoor area kept it all wonderfully shaded and useable when it was too hot to venture further afield. we didnt explore the area much, but had some lovely evening walks around the village. the local shop was very convienient, and the village itself was a pretty place with some facinating history. The host was very friendly and extremely helpful and easy to contact should she be needed. stunning place to get away from it all and just chill.

Amazing hidden gem!
Shepherd's hut
Liked Everything! We’ve stayed in lots of places similar to this & this was really high on our list. The space you have is really lovely, with everything you need provided. The extra touches for my partners birthday were so lovely - thank you to Hannah for excellent communication. Loved the location, best of both worlds being close to nice bars / restaurants in Stratford but also a stones throw from rural countryside.
