Tucked away in the rolling hills between the Cotswolds and the Chilterns, you'll find this charming shepherd's hut. Equally fabulous all year round, it's ready to welcome a couple who are excited to spend a romantic holiday together exploring the wonderful countryside. With its vaulted wooden ceiling and cute heart-shaped details, you'll feel right at home in no time at all. Light up the wood-burning stove and snuggle up together after dinner – make sure to pack a few great books to read by the fire. You can head out to the terrace on warmer days to enjoy an evening tipple in the fresh air as you admire the countryside views. And, if you're in need of some entertainment, there's even a shared games room with a ping-pong table where you can get competitive, Don't forget your walking boots, as this area is best explored on foot – the verdant landscapes are a beautiful place to wander and relax. The famous Cotswold villages are just a short drive away, where you can admire the chocolate box cottages and stop off for afternoon tea. And, with historic Oxford just a forty-minute car ride away, you can visit the famous university town for a day trip too.
