Hut vacation rentals in River Thames

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.

we had a superb getaway, ideal for timeout and a recharge. everything was as described and the mattress was so comfortable. is now on our favourites lists to return back to.

Great spot with all the basics needed for a short stay

For people who like nature and hiking this is a jam! Easy to get there from London either going to Lewes (30 min walk) or Brighton (3-4h hike with great views). The sauna is the cherry on top after a long day out in the nature. Sian was very friendly and welcoming, and gave us plenty of suggestions. The hut is cozy with comfortable bed and good board game selection for late evenings. Local people are very friendly and it is lovely to walk to the nearby pubs along the hiking path. We highly recommend to visit The Abergaveny Arms, food is something else! Also Off the Wagon pop up pub is great. We will definitely come back.

Located in a wonderful private garden full of flowers and birdsong. Next to walks and good for cycling; definitely planning to come back.

Perfect for our short stay in Milton Keynes, hut was lovely and was nice to have some tea and biscuit provisions. Easy check in and a beautiful area to be set up at. Hut is right next to the farm house and store. Fortunately we had no noise from either. Overall very pleased, only slight issue was that the bathroom fan wasn't working (or we couldn't work out how to turn it on) so it got very humid in there, some signs of mould but could be related to the fan so I'm sure will get fixed soon.

Our stay was perfect - we loved it. The views our amazing; it is very peaceful and the hot tub and fire were a bonus.

A delightful and charming place to stop and relax. Everything was superb - the hut, its private garden, the thoughtful book selection, the bed linen which smelt of fresh air, the warm croissants and home made jams. Daisy the retriever, was the icing on the cake. Sarah and Frank are warm, available as needed but respectful of privacy.

Had a lovely three night stay in Acorn hut. Spacious and very private outdoor space with a hot tub for relaxing. Bathroom facilities were clean and shower was great. The hut itself was cosy with everything you need for a few nights away. Big enough for my partner and I as well as our large greyhound. The host was lovely and helpful with advice about places to go and the surrounding area. Would definitely recommend a stay here for anyone looking for a peaceful spot.

The Shepherds Hut was amazing, so cozy, clean and comfortable. Trish has thought of everything. The table and benches turn in to the bed base, with space underneath to store your bags. The bed was really comfortable and we both had a great nights sleep. The shower was great, towels provided. It's in a really quiet location and we had the added pleasure of seeing a glorious peacock on our arrival ! Trish is a really great host, lots of attention to detail such as: fresh free range eggs, cans of gin and tonic, chocolate biscuits, milk and a bottle of cold water in the fridge. Plus marshmallows for melting by a fire and a jar of sweets. Games to play, a folder with details of local pubs (all dog friendly), maps for local walks and booklets of places to visit. We recommend the Red Lion at Castle Eaton, a really friendly and welcoming pub, with very tasty food. We really enjoyed our weekend, so much to do and right in the heart of the Cotswolds. Thank you Trish

The most wonderful stay in the most beautiful little hut. From the moment I arrived I felt instantly relaxed. Emily has created the most perfectly peaceful space, inside and out. She is also a wonderful host & was able to help me with my forgotten item. Waking up to the sound of the birds, with the greenery outside the window was my favourite part. Emily’s hut is a delightfully comfortable space and the log burner keeps you very cosy in the evening. The village itself is also delightful to walk around, there is plenty to explore in the area and a great pub on the doorstep. The only downside was checking out.

We had a great stay at Shepards View. Super cosy and in such beautiful surroundings - watching the horses in the morning was lovely! The location was perfect aswell, so easy to get to all the places to visit in the Cotswolds. Our dog loved the enclosed garden. Hosts were very helpful, not that we really needed anything but all instructions were helpful! Would highly recommend a stay!

I found Emma's place by accident when I was looking for somewhere for my husband and I to have a couple of days to reset and switch off. It was exactly what I didn't know I needed. The setting is beautiful, and even the rain sounded so peaceful from inside. It's a perfect little bolthole with everything you need and Emma gave us privacy but made sure to keep in touch to see if we needed anything. We took a lovely walk to Balfour winery for a fizzy pitstop before walking round into Marden for some local lunch and then back to the Hut. Exactly the change of scenery we needed. The little gifts of cookies and strawberries were lovely to discover after an evening arrival and the Hut really is decorated perfectly. Is there anything more peaceful than having a cup of tea in bed looking out onto a sea of Christmas trees, listening to the wildlife. We will definitely be back.

Cosy, comfortable and charming shepherd's hut surrounded by beautiful greenery. Peter is a very attentive and friendly host. Came here for the South Downs Way 50k, so the hot tub was a welcome bonus! Would recommend to couples or solo travellers looking for a peaceful countryside retreat.

Amazing 2 night stay!! Super easy to find and in a nice and private location with really good local food restaurants. The hut was clean and provided everything we needed to cook when we wanted to as well as a nice relaxing garden space where we could hear the local chickens, horses and sheep. Georgina also gave us some amazing recommendations which we made good use of during our stay!! Check In was super quick and easy! Short walk from a great pub / restaurant called the Fox at Oddington where we ate on our second night. Overall, great stay. Highly recommend

Rachel is an amazing host. Let us know that we could check in early and greeted us with some delicious cake and milk. The hut is beautiful and the outside space is great for dogs. The land is great and you don’t feel like you are staying on someone’s property it feels very secluded and we could walk the dog around Rachel’s field which was great. On a hot summers day the hut can get quite toasty which is something to be mindful of if you have a dog but Rachel does provide a fan which is great for cooling down. Kitchen was well equipped with a hob, oven and microwave. Great fire pit and BBQ. Overall amazing stay at Rachel’s Shepherd Hut!

Incredible location and a really nice home with all you need! Perfect for a mini break in the countryside. Hosts very helpful and recommend the fresh eggs for breakfast.

I had such a lovely peaceful time in the shepherds hut. It was beautifully kitted out and the surrounding countryside was amazing. Emily was extremely friendly and helpful and although we didn’t manage to meet, I knew that she was always available if I had any queries. I would highly recommend anyone staying there.

Absolutely stunning location – even more beautiful and private than we expected. Surrounded by rolling fields, sheep, lambs, and nature in every direction, it was the perfect place to unwind. There’s so much to explore, from open fields to peaceful woodlands and hidden ponds. The shepherd’s hut was really well equipped, cosy, and the bed was super comfy. We had such a lovely time just relaxing and soaking it all in. We were left to enjoy the space in peace, but the hosts were nearby if needed – really friendly, helpful, and polite. Would definitely visit again!

My Partner and I just spent the weekend in the shepherds hut and it was nothing short of magical. Teresa showed us all the animals, told us all their names and let us feed the animals. My partner was lucky enough to walk one of the little cows in preparation for a show next weekend - it made her weekend. Our favourite was Dusty the horse, the most relaxed and perfect horse I’ve ever met. We went for lunch at the three horse shoes and it was lovely, a real country pub. We felt at home and the whole family were so lovely and approachable. We cannot wait to stay here again, hopefully in the very near future. The hot tub was to die for also!

We gad a great time at Emma's Shepherd's Hut. It was exactly as described in a lovely location that was nice and quiet.

Our experience at Mo and Ann’s hut was amazing. The place it’s exactly as you see in the pictures. It’s a lovely and comfortable place, very clean, tidy and nicely decorated. You will find everything you need and all environment-friendly. We have really enjoyed our stay and we will be back very soon! Thank you Ann and Mo for your kindness and for making our wedding anniversary unforgettable!

Great stay here! Andrew and Oey were very responsive and accommodating and the Thai food was amazing!

We had a lovely stay at Dom’s place. The location is perfect for a couple of days’ break from London, especially if - like us - you don’t drive; it is just a short distance from the station and for a 40 minute journey from zone 1, feels a world away. Dom was very accommodating, especially as we brought our 3 month old baby. The baby enjoyed his first ever swim in the lovely warm pool! And the rest of the amenities/ the hut itself are equally excellent. Would also highly recommend a trip to the Samuel Palmer pub for a pint of locally brewed ale, and the Mount Vineyard for some excellent wines, both of which are a short walk from the hut. Would definitely stay again, thanks Dom!
