Shepherds hut vacation rentals in Europe

This is the third time I've stayed in Katherine's 'shepherd's hut'. It is a beautifully situated, cosy and peaceful retreat from which to explore Oxford. Katherine is a great host, friendly and helpful without being at all intrusive. I'm sure I'll be back for a fourth time soon.

Just came back from spending 2 nights here and the stay was incredible. The pictures don’t do the place or scenery any justice at all! It’s a must visit, especially the 2 farm cats they were our best pals by the end of the stay. Would definitely recommend 🙂

Great spot with all the basics needed for a short stay

Excellent location, remote and quiet in beautiful surroundings in the Vosges. The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful and always available by phone. Thanks for the hospitality - we were able to unwind and enjoy nature!

Celebrated our 1 year anniversary and it was absolutely lovely, we are definitely going back! Lynden was so lovely and gave clear instructions that made finding eveything so easy, love our tour of the farm and feeding all the animals that were so friendly! The room was really nice and decorated so beautifully & really appreciated the complimentary snacks. We loved the hot tub, lighting the fire for our marshmallows, and how close the animals got to us! Was a lovely place to stay felt so at home and welcomed, would define my recommend :)

Perfect location for relaxing, everything you need, even homemade cake, yummy, and walking if you want to, although some quite steep hills. We walked to Watermouth Castle, then took a bus to Ilfracombe, we walked to Coombe Martin then over the hills and back. Watch the bus times tho! The outside bath is a must and the fresh flowers and milk are a lovely extra touch too! Be careful to duck in and out of the horsebox door but the shower is hot and powerful. We had a lovely time in our little piece of North Devon for a long weekend 😀

We loved staying in the shepherd’s hut - we relaxed and enjoyed every moment there Such helpful and friendly hosts

Everything was just perfect. Very easy checkin, clear instructions on how to use everything, beautifully furnished with great amenities, loved that we could buy local produce too. Highly recommend staying here if you want to be at one with nature and have a few days to switch off. We will definitely be back!!

We stayed here for a break away from our home renovations and I can’t explain how peaceful and lovely it was. Fiona met us on arrival and was so helpful with showing us around, brought us some milk and was really friendly. The accommodation itself was beautiful with some stunning finishing touches, the sun beds under the pergola were a dream with a morning coffee and we enjoyed watching some DVDs and seeing all the animals and wildlife. We spent the day in the Yorkshire Dales which is always beautiful and we can’t wait to return to Fiona’s place and experience it all again!

Lou was an amazing host, we thoroughly loved our stay. It was so beautiful and peaceful - she does everything to go that extra mile for her guests. We will definitely be returning soon! 😊thanks again

We had a peaceful weekend away to celebrate a birthday, the lodge was stunning inside and out. The hot tub takes a while to heat up but it’s lovely and relaxing. Thank you x

The Place was a paradise. Landscape and sheep everywhere made it one of my fav places. It really felt like home. And the tiny house is very comfortable and adorable. We had a good time

Such an idyllic location and probably the best Shepherds hut and location we’ve stayed in. Even with mixed weather it’s so cosy with a little fire or relaxing in the hot tub under shelter. Highly recommend and such welcoming hosts too. Well be back again for sure.

I can’t say enough about how wonderful our stay was. I wish we could’ve stayed longer! It was a perfect location for the things we wanted to do. Rachel and Colin are extremely friendly and helpful. The hut was very cozy and spotless. The view was incredible and we had perfect weather. They provided us with recommendations which were very helpful. I hope we can return to the area in the future and would love to stay here again!

The Hideout was in an absolutely stunning location and the accomodation was so cosy and comfortable, it was a perfect weekend

Stayed here for my birthday as I wanted a little break away, I am happiest when surrounded by nature and animals so this was just what I was looking for. Emma provided all the information I could need and there was even a nice bottle of milk waiting for me in the fridge which was lovely for tea and coffee (which was also provided). I had some lovely walks and saw some beautiful sights nearby. Loved seeing the lambs playing (and escaping 😂). Fab hut and had everything I needed to have a calm, relaxing stay. Thanks Emma. 😊

We had such a wonderful stay for my partners birthday, Clive went the extra mile to make us feel welcome by putting up some birthday decorations and leaving us some treats for when we arrived. It's a perfect place to get away and unwind in nature, we were always surrounded by animals whether it was Norman the cat visiting during a bbq, hanging out with the goats, or watching the ducks drift about in the stream while relaxing in the hot tub. Thank you very much to Clive and Nikki for hosting us. I cannot recommend Kingfisher enough, we truly had an amazing time :)

Perfect quiet getaway with our 3 month old baby. Did get very hot due to heatwave, but lots of windows that can be opened and through draught. Amazing location, good kitchen, 2 hobs, fridge with freezer box section, good set of kitchenware. Bathroom, lovely shower and toiletries. All round perfect for our getway

Our stay at the property was brilliant. It's well located and Sarah and Liam provided information on things to do locally, as well as instructions on how to get there. Our hosts were very welcoming and friendly. The property itself was beautiful, the views were amazing and it felt very private and comfortable. It was very clean and provided all amenities needed, including a welcome basket which was much appreciated! A brilliant place to stay, I would highly recommend!

Had an amazing stay at the shepherds hut after a long road trip round Scotland. The hot tub and the sauna were great and so relaxing. Pubs in walking distance is always a plus as well we had a great time and would live to come back

Lovely stay, very peaceful - just what we were looking for! Thank you

Very nice hosts, very cozy atmosphere in the accommodation, idyllic lake 5 minutes' walk away, very good handling of the animals, all in all there is nothing to complain about. Our highlight was the first view from the window in the morning to watch the sheep grazing. If we are around, we will be happy to come by again :)

My son and I had three nights at the shepherds hut and it was the perfect base for exploring Anglesey. The hut was cosy and had everything we needed and I loved watching the birds and beautiful views, it was so peaceful. I honestly can’t fault the hosts of accommodation and we would love to return for longer.

I had a wonderful stay in the Shepherd’s Hut. The location was perfect, just a very short walk to the beach with good local shops and transport access if needed. It was exactly as described. It was very clean, well equipped with immaculate linens and a super outdoor space to relax in. They provide a comprehensive, useful guide to the hut itself as well as local beaches and the surrounding area. Glyn and Harriet were great hosts , introducing them selves, making me feel welcome and shared information to help with my stay. I will stay again as it provided the perfect escape in a beautiful location.
