 The shepherds hut is in the most divine position. It overlooks beautiful traditional meadow land, which runs down to the River Cherwell. Good for swimming on a hot day. Inside the hut is a comfortable double bed with a handmade patchwork quilt a table and two chairs. There is electricity, a silent fridge, a toaster, tea and coffee making facilities.A continental breakfast is left in the fridge for the morning.
There is an eco-loo and thatched shower room with hot and cold water.
The shepherds hut is fully insulated so it stays at a lovely temperature all year around. During the colder months there is a wood burner to give you that cosy feel. If it isn't cold enough to light the fire there is a 'naked flame' lamp to add to the atmosphere.
