This shepherd’s hut appears like a mirage in the clearing of a verdant woodland in Oxfordshire. While its rustic exterior blends in with the surroundings, every effort has been made to create a cosy and luxurious atmosphere inside. This is a lesson in use of space: the compact kitchen has a stove, dishwasher, and is stocked with cooking essentials, while the bathroom has a proper shower so you can start the day refreshed. The interior is decorated to feel like a countryside retreat, with brass taps, nautical striped curtains, wooden shutters and Cotswolds blue cupboards. This is the place to unplug from the outside world and immerse yourself in nature. Start the day with breakfast and coffee at your outdoor table before taking a walk through the surrounding woodland. There are plenty of nearby public footpaths to explore, taking you through picturesque rural scenery. When the sun sets, throw a log on the fire and spend toasty evenings on the plush armchairs reading a book or sipping a drink. This would be the perfect retreat for couples, or anyone looking for a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. You are guaranteed to leave feeling rested and rejuvenated.
