Shepherd's Hut vacation rentals in Kennet and Avon Canal

What an absolute gem of a little getaway, Fiona is a great host and the shepherds hut is absolutely perfect for what we needed. The addition of homemade bread, milk, butter and jam in the fridge is such a lovely and thoughtful touch. Nothing will prepare you for how big and relaxing the hot tub is, we absolutely loved sitting in it and listening to the wildlife. The hut is really private and has its own little garden, we had breakfast lunch and dinner outside as we were so lucky with the weather! We will absolutely be back, thank you for having us!

The pictures really don't do it justice. We had an amazing time and there's so much around the area to see, we've not even scratched the surface. We'll definitely be coming back.

I had a lovely few nights at Franks place, great hosts. A cosy shepherds hut with all the amenities you need readily accessible in a peaceful location. I had a lovely time looking at the stars from the deck outside with the fire going to keep warm. Breakfast was amazing, croissant with jams, fruit and yoghurt bought to the hut, with everything you needed to make a tea or coffee already there. Would definitely stay again if passing through the area.

What a fantastic oasis of tranquility to visit. Terry and Jenny are excellent hosts and could not do more for you. The huts were all styled beautifully and were spotlessly clean. The attention to detail is fantastic and Jenny has thought of everything. Sitting by the firepit at night, with a glass in hand listening to the owls was priceless. Florence, Hector and the dogs were just an added bonus. We will definitely return.

We really enjoyed our stay here! Our dogs absolutely loved the space and it was perfect for them to really stretch their legs. The cabin was super cozy, we stayed during a bit of a temperature drop so it was around -3 at night but the log burner was so warm we didn't even need a jumper on! Along with the temperature drop came some snow and we actually ended up getting stuck on the hill on toward the entrance but Mark answered his phone immediately and rushed down in his Land Rover to give us a tow up and nothing was too much to ask, we felt super accommodated. Thanks again :)

Very close to, just 15 minutes, but out of the sprawl of Oxford; in beautiful farmland with fabulous walks and charming pubs, rivers for dipping into. Beautifully decorated space with everything one needs, quietly located in the corner of a field. Really comfortable bed with cushions, perfect place to read, with good light and a window. Recommend local-ish Mason Arms for relaxed coffee and papers. Good shower and thoughtful makeup mirrors in communal bathroom. Very quick response (booked hours before!) and kind and welcoming welcome.

Had a great weekend at Serena’s hut! Great communication from her with fab recommendations- the potting shed pub is gorgeous! No signal in the hut and little insulation but wood for the fire is provided and lots of blankets. Gorgeous location, thanks so much

We had a lovely weekend in this Shepard’s Hut. It’s in a great location and was very dog friendly. Would definitely recommend!

Great place for a retreat, well tucked away great views of the countryside and Bristol in the distance. A welcome pack of Bread, butter, home made cake, bacon eggs and sausages. The hot tub was fantastic. Park and ride to bath 5 min. Can’t recommend it enough great felt so chilled out staying here.

Me, my husband and our dog Enzo had a lovely stay, the little touches like the fresh chicken eggs and head torches if we went out in the dark were amazing! The place was beautiful and relaxing and the hot tub was such a treat. Our dog Enzo had the best time, he was very sad to leave his new horse and chicken friends behind when we left. Mo and Anne were incredibly friendly and were super helpful too! I 100% recommend this little getaway 😌

We had an amazing time there. Honestly photos in the listing doesn’t do it justice it’s even better in real life. There was a lot of attention paid to every detail in the hut. The river, the outdoor fireplace, the birds chirping… was perfect. Not to forget to mention the amazing breakfast served in a basket, probably one of the best yogurt bowls we’ve eaten. We will 100% recommend it to our friends!

Our stay was better than we could've imagined. Sitting outside by the fire cooking up some BBQ food for dinner was the highlight of our trip. The outdoor bath is so worth the wait to get heated up. Amazing stay at an amazing location.

We booked both Shepard’s huts to stay with family. They were spotlessly clean, the kids loved the wood pile and we made use of the BBQ / fire pit. Thanks for a lovely stay, we’ll be back

Beverley‘s little Shepherd‘s Hut was the most beautiful getaway for our weekend away. It was extremely cosy and warm and had all you need. Beverley was a great host, very responsive and friendly. Highly recommend for those looking for a cute and cosy spot whilst exploring the surrounding area!

Wow what a special place. Dreamy hot tub and outdoor fire. The hut is decorated like a luxury hotel, lots of small special touches - fire wood to make a fire; board games to play, bath robes and slippers. We had the truly magical two nights away - perfect for some romantic time. We nipped into Wells on Saturday for the market (bus/car less than 10 mins) picked up lots of treats then enjoyed a lazy Saturday evening back at the hut under the stars. Lou was fantastic host, she helped set up the hut for my girlfriend’s birthday before we arrived which was incredibly kind and much appreciated.

We had an amazing time staying in Emily's shepherds hut. The hut itself was beautiful inside and really cosy but still plenty spacious enough for two people. The swan pub was a great recommendation for food and drink and was only a 20 second walk away, perfect for stumbling back to the comfy bed in the hut after a few.

Great shepherds hut for a weekend away in the countryside. Super well equipped and Rosalind communicated super well. Fresh bread and eggs were also a nice touch! Highly recommend.

My partner and I had the most incredible stay, we cooked on an open fire, surrounded by beautiful wildlife and bathed in the hot tub looking at the stars. Angela was an amazing host, the place was perfectly described and no stone was left unturned. We did take a stroll to 2 of the local pubs and ate at one of them on our second night but we were looking for rural, peaceful and private and the hut delivered all that and more. We took a stroll after check out to stour head as per Martyn’s recommendation and it was beautiful. We fully intend to return sometime in the future. Thanks again to Angela & Martyn for being fabulous hosts.

From booking until check out, everything was perfect! Janine was a fantastic host. Full of great advice on walks, where to eat and clear instructions on check in. There were also great instructions in the hut for every single appliance which made our stay stress free! The hut was very comfortable, warm and cozy, and the jacuzzi was just what was needed after a long day exploring and views to die for. Beautiful location ❤️

A lovely place with top-quality touches and great attention to detail. We had such a relaxing stay - it was so peaceful looking out over the fields with horses. The bed was comfortable, and the whole space felt warm and welcoming. Parking was easy, and we really appreciated the thoughtful welcome basket with breakfast items, drinks, and snacks. Dilly was a fantastic host, and the location made for a nice walk into Lacock. We would love to come back.

A fabulous peaceful and romantic bolt hole - beautifully furnished, very comfortable. Great welcome hamper, much appreciated. Just the right level of extremely helpful and friendly service and lots of peace and quiet. Having to make the fire (all beautifully pre-laid for us) and keep it going for the hot tub was fun and well worth it when we got in. The robes and slippers are a great touch. Will definitely be back.

A really wonderful hut with gorgeous views for wildlife spotting from your bed. Everything well equipped and a lovely touch to leave essential food and drink in the hut - that was greatly appreciated. It’s close to a charming village and great walks. We had an amazing time and will certainly return.
