Put your out of office on and disconnect entirely at this cute little shepherd's hut near Winchcombe. With plenty of room for two, it sits in a quiet field with nothing but birdsong and the occasional whistle of a steam train in the distance. Tucked away inside its own private decked area, this little home has beautiful views and a big, open sky for stargazing at night. If you're here to unwind (and were know you are) there's nothing better than the wood-fired hot tub that awaits you. Screened for privacy, it's amazing how you never get tired of soaking in the great outdoors. Inside, there's an open-plan space with your comfy bed, sitting area and surprisingly well-equipped kitchen, plus a door through to an en-suite shower room. If you've never stayed in a shepherd's hut before, you'll be amazed at how much you can fit into the space – and how cosy it all feels. There's no roughing it here, thanks to a king-size bed, central heating to keep you toasty whatever the weather and two easy chairs for reading in. There's even Wifi and a TV. If you can drag yourself away, the market town of Winchcombe is a ten-minute drive in one direction, the village of Broadway in the other. The Cotswold Way is on your doorstep and the National Trust site for Hailes Abbey is an easy walk away. There are country pubs to visit, farm shops to peruse and much more, all within a fifteen-minute drive.
