Shepherds hut holiday rentals in Forest of Dean District

Carol and George’s Shepherd hut is a little piece of heaven. It is tucked away in a quiet place between fields and mountains with endless views and sunshine. We could hear nothing but the birdsong and cattle. The garden is private and has the most stunning sunset view. We could not have asked for a better break from the bustling city life. Carol and George gave us a warm welcome on arrival which was a sweet personal touch. We would definitely return!!

We had such a lovely time at the shepherds hut, a perfectly peaceful and quiet get away - just what we needed! Great location for picturesque walks. We walked along Offas Dyke took 2.5 hrs straight from the hut. The local town had everything you needed only a short drive or 20 min walk away. We grabbed a takeaway pizza from Daphnes which was very delicious. Despite wet weather all weekend it did not dampen our spirits. The covered kitchen was a perfect location to cosy up and watch the thunder and lightning. It had everything you needed to make breakfast. The provided bread, bacon, eggs & milk were a lovely addition. The bed was very very comfy and the hut was clean, tidy & cosy. The hill up to the hut is steep but the provided wheelbarrow helped. Leaving in the rain was hilarious.

An amazing place to stay for a few nights away, loved my time there in such a peaceful beautiful location !

Amazing stay at Mark’s shepherds hut. Incredible location, super peaceful and as described. Well kitted out. We had a lovely BBQ and enjoyed some marshmallows say around the fire. The abbey nearby was worth a visit and had a swim in the river. Would definitely visit again. Thanks Mark.

lovely weekend stay. fantastic location, and the hut and amenities are great. The hot tub was a great place to relax as the sun went down in the evening Plenty of walking options from the site and very dog friendly too would recommend to others

We had such a lovely stay here, the hut was perfect! Had everything we needed and was very clean. We’d definitely come back

The Cowboys hut was a beautifully made hut in an idyllic location. Danna left a lovely welcome hamper on arrival and the hut was clean and tidy. The log fire kept us toasty and we would love to visit again.

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.

Lovely little hut in a beautiful place, overlooking the fields and rolling hills. Hut was spacious and had all we needed for a few days away. Super dog friendly with the fence having wire on it, especially for our 8 month old cocker spaniel who was very intrigued by the cows! Becky was also responsive and helpful when my clumsy partner 😂 accidentally broke a glass and she came and hand delivered another later that evening. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others!

Absolutely fantastic, would certainly like to return, lovely van in a fantastic location. Felt like we’d gone back in time

We had a lovely night away at the Shepherds hut, The host was lovely and greeted us when we got there and let us know if we had any issues with the hot tub we could message her The lodge was clean, modern and cozy and we would definitely recomend to others x

A wonderfully peaceful two night stay in lovely wooden shepherds hut set amongst the tree’s. The hut was super cosy with everything we needed, plus a great size comfortable bed. Lovely view over the countryside, we really enjoyed being able to sit outside watching nature. Host was spot on, fantastic communication and very accommodating. Loved the screenshot walking guide, we followed it and it led us to the pub so we were very pleased! Some treats were left for us, the farm shop muesli was absolutely delicious so thank you for that.

An absolutely beautiful place to stay! My husband and I spent our 1st wedding anniversary here and couldn’t have chosen better. Waking up to the stunning countryside views was incredibly peaceful and serene. Each day, we took short trips into Bath to explore the city, then returned to the calm and comfort of the countryside in the evening, it was the perfect balance. Laura was a wonderfully friendly and responsive host, ensuring everything was spotless for our arrival. She even left us some delicious local food, which made for the perfect breakfast on our first morning.

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

It was lovely to be back at the Cwt again. The Cwt is twt! - Welsh for small, neat, tidy, dinky, and cwtch-y!! Peaceful surroundings; gorgeous views. Balm to the soul! I spend a lot of Saturday nights in Premier Inns and such around Wales. To be able stay at the Cwt was a real treat. Diolch - Thank you, Nancy.

Wonderfully peaceful location. Sitting outside by the stream in the evenings with a glass of wine and listening to the birdsong was the perfect way to end some busy days at Hay Festival (which was a pleasant 25 min drive through lovely scenery on very quiet roads). Superb hosts, helpful and responsive. The hut had everything we needed and the beds were very comfortable. Would recommend!

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

Fabulous place that is beyond what you would expect from a Shepherd’s Hut. Great thought and attention to detail has clearly gone into building and designing this place. It’s deceptively spacious and has got everything you need and more, the hot tub and outside seating are real bonuses, all in all a fabulous spot.

We had the best break away staying at Sharon's beautiful shepherds hut, the scenery was so beautiful, and it was the perfect place to unwind, our two dogs loved the hut and the enclosed garden, as well as exploring all of the public walkways. Sharon is a wonderful host and you will have the best holiday if you choose this little gem for your stay.

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!

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 :)

A beautiful experience. Very peaceful. Especially loved a little window out on to the green right in front of our bed. In rainy windy weather the hot tub really took a lot of time to heat up. We went through a bucket of wood just to get it to temperature, but it was so worth it and stayed warm for many hours, so future visitors, don’t give up! Thank you for everything, had a wonderful time

Helen and Brian were extremely helpful but respected our privacy! Accomadation was private, peaceful and exactly as described!
