Outbak Shepherds Hut

Lovely clean and well set out shepherds hut, ideally positioned for exploring the Cotswolds. Very close to GWR steam railway, Sudeley Castle & Hailes Abbey. The host is very friendly & helpful. Very peaceful weekend had by all.

We had the most wonderful stay at this charming shepherd’s hut in the Cotswolds. The hut itself was spotless, cosy, and beautifully thought out, with everything we needed for a relaxing break. The hot tub was such a treat – perfect for unwinding in the evenings – and the BBQ made for some lovely dinners outside. The location is fantastic, tucked away enough to feel peaceful and private, yet only a short drive to lots of picturesque Cotswold villages. It was the ideal base for exploring. Our host was absolutely brilliant – so helpful, polite, and genuinely welcoming. Communication was excellent from start to finish, which made everything completely stress-free. All in all, a perfect countryside escape – we honestly couldn’t recommend it more highly and can’t wait to come back!

We had a fantastic stay at the Shepherds Hut! A great host from the start – even recommending somewhere to visit before we checked in. The wood burner for the hot tub was already lit when we arrived, so it was ready to enjoy straight away – such a thoughtful touch! The owner gave us a warm welcome, showed us around the beautiful hut, and explained everything clearly. The views are stunning and it’s so peaceful. The Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway passes by during the day – Hailes Abbey station (which you can see from the hut) is open to walk on year-round, but trains only stop there for boarding and exiting during March, April, and October. Toddington station, which operates more regularly, is just a short walk away. The Pheasant Inn is the nearest pub and serves delicious food – they do take walk-ins, but booking is best. I highly recommend this unique and relaxing getaway! Thanks for being such a friendly and thoughtful host! We really loved our stay!

Lovely property, bed really comfy, host friendly and attentive.

My stay at the Outbak Shepherds Hut was just a DREAM! I am a personal trainer/ fitness instructor and this was a break to take a breathe and have some calm time as life at home is very chaotic! This was just the perfect place to stay! The weather was perfect! Beautiful and plenty of local walks and footpaths to venture off during the day! I was only 15 mins away from Cheltenham to visit a gym I know well. The fruit farm was a walk away to visit and was a perfect coffee break and to pick some fresh fruit for my breakfasts and a visit to the farm shop to buy some lovely gifts for those back at home! I visited Bourton on Water which was just a 20 min drive away and what a beautiful place to go! I would have loved to have stayed longer to visit more of the recommended places in the extremely informative booklet in the cabin! The stay at the cabin was perfect! It had everything I needed. The hot tub was set up easily each day to be able to use with clear instructions! It was lovely to have a table and chairs outside as well as the sunbeds too! Inside the cabin the bed was so cosy, plenty of pillows, lovely chairs to sit and chill on as well as the dining table to eat from! Having wifi and a smart tv was perfect to still be able to have contact online and chill out with my favourite programmes! The kitchen area was perfect to fit for my dietary needs; I did not eat out or local as I just wanted to be in my own comfort in the evenings but there were lots of choices to eat out even though I chose not to and the cooker was perfect and then having the toaster and microwave too! Dish washing facilities were great with plenty of utensils! The bathroom was perfect and clean and lovely pressure with the water. Lovely towels and gowns provided for the shower and hot tub too! I am very refreshed since getting back and I am without a doubt going to come back for another visit!

A lovely little shepherd's hut in a fantastic location with all you need for a relaxing stay. The owner David was extremely friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!

Had a lovely time at Outbak Shepherds Hut near Hailes Abbey / Sudeley Castle. So cosy and welcoming. Lovely comfy bed, fully equipped kitchen and bathroom. And a hot tub, which the owner kindly sorted for me every night to relax in. Bliss. Thank you so much...highly recommended to recharge the batteries.

Had everything we needed. David the owner was very attentive.
