So cute that may you want to sell your worldly possessions and decamp here forever, this luxury shepherd hut is a truly romantic retreat in The Cotswolds. From the heart-shaped bed nook to the little wood-burner, this home is straight out of a fairy tale. There's a small kitchen with a little stove if you want to try rustling up something tasty, but we prefer lighting up the BBQ and watching the sun set over the rolling hills from the wooden veranda. When you're not cuddled up in bed or enjoying the view with a glass of fizz, the plot is on a large farm, with plenty of walking trails to explore, while quaint villages of The Cotswolds are not far away by car.
