A wonderful relaxing stay with everything we needed and more. Welcome pack of milk, eggs, bread, butter, orange juice, coffee and tea greatly appreciated. Our second stay here and , like the first, it exceeded our expectations.
We really loved it. Very cozy and comfortable hut, very nice surroundings and friendly hosts and cat which we named Houdini. Would definitely stay again.
Beautiful little hut in a beautiful setting, friendly host, loved the breakfast provided, it went down really well! Just a note that check out is listed as 11am on vrbo but is actually 10am! We suddenly had to dash, but otherwise, loved it and would definitely stay again
Small but perfectly formed... Cutest glamping ever, with everything you'd need! Great communication from the owner - who then left us to it! Would definitely stay here again
We had a lovely stay at the hut for the week. My boyfriend was visiting from the US so it was a lovely location that was close to a lot good locations and to show our country life . Was a very well equipped place which meant we were able to cook some meals if we wanted a nice evening in! Such a nice romantic place we would defo come back.
(Ps obsessed with the farm cat who loved to come say hello)
We had such a wonderful stay in the Shepherd's Hut. Everything about it was absolutely perfect. Our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer. Such lovely touches from the owners were so very much appreciated. weappreciated:wwe welcome pack of egg
Nice remote location, if that's something you fancy (I did), but be aware that shops, dining, and everything else will require a trip in the car. Very tidy and had most of the essentials, but was crammed into a very tight space. Perfectly adequate for a brief stay (four nights in my case), but would have made things more difficult for any longer. Owner replied promptly to queries. Good value for money. Recommended.
Great stay for an event at Silverstone. The shepherds hut is great for 1 or 2, well equipped and the provisions in the fridge was a nice touch. During stay had a brief spell of very heavy rain and strong winds, absolutely no problem with noise which I feared as it is well insulated. Philip and the black cat were excellent hosts, the cat even came to say good bye when I left early morning on my departure. Great place to stay if you are fed up with chain hotels
Despite the weather we had a lovely stay! The shepherd hut holds all essentials you need and Philip is very friendly and left all required to make a lovely bacon and egg sandwich for breakfast, also the orange juice and prosecco is a nice touch!
Excellent location, super experience and wonderful farmhouse foods awaiting my arrival catering for all my breakfasts during my stay. To anyone who enjoys a farm location experience, I would thoroughly recommend.

Lovely!
Me and my partner had a lovely stay at The Shephard’s Hut. It had absolutely everything we needed and was very cosy. The host was very welcoming and would have been there for any queries if needed. The prosecco and breakfast provided made it even better as it meant we barely needed to buy any food. Perfect for a couples trip. Thank you and hope to be back again soon!

Lovely
Charming shepherd's hut. Close to interesting places - we went to Bletchley Park and Woburn Abbey.
Friendly yet non intrusive host.
I fell in love with one of the farm cats....she very nearly came home with me! ; )

Petite but perfectly formed.
It was booked for my parents as part of my dad's 70th birthday present. They were very happy with the accommodation. It was clean, well appointed, owners were welcoming and it was very conveniently located for the purpose of the visit ...an event at Silverstone!
