Shepherd's Hut vacation rentals in Forest of Dean District

Location was stunning, the host was lovely and it has beautiful walks on the doorstep. Hot tub definitely worth the extra money as elevates the stay to another level. The dog thoroughly enjoyed his stay as well!

We had such a lovely time at the shepherds hut, a perfectly peaceful and quiet get away - just what we needed! Great location for picturesque walks. We walked along Offas Dyke took 2.5 hrs straight from the hut. The local town had everything you needed only a short drive or 20 min walk away. We grabbed a takeaway pizza from Daphnes which was very delicious. Despite wet weather all weekend it did not dampen our spirits. The covered kitchen was a perfect location to cosy up and watch the thunder and lightning. It had everything you needed to make breakfast. The provided bread, bacon, eggs & milk were a lovely addition. The bed was very very comfy and the hut was clean, tidy & cosy. The hill up to the hut is steep but the provided wheelbarrow helped. Leaving in the rain was hilarious.

We loved our stay on the shepherds hut, which looked and felt new, and was beautifully finished. Fantastic location, great for local walks (we walked to The Open Ditch pub) and amazing views from the bed & seating area. Very accommodating hosts, super helpful and responsive. We’d definitely consider staying again! Would recommend. Thank you so much!!

If you are looking for someone to escape to with the peace and tranquility of the countrywide with just a sprinkling of natural farm noise - this is the place to be. We had a really relaxing few days here and Rosalind was very helpful and in hand if you need anything. We always had a friendly greeting from the 3 dogs who would be delighted with a belly scratch. Loved it here.

Had a lovely night here, private and peaceful. Mark greeted us and we asked for some more firewood which he got straight away and lovely walks nearby.

Lovely place to spend a few days in peace in quiet. The hot tub was amazing and the hosts are very friendly. The hut is in close proximity to the Wye Valley, which is a great place to explore.

The Cowboys hut was a beautifully made hut in an idyllic location. Danna left a lovely welcome hamper on arrival and the hut was clean and tidy. The log fire kept us toasty and we would love to visit again.

I had a lovely stay at Frank’s hut in Tilshead. It felt peaceful and private but Frank was a very responsive and helpful host. The hut itself was immaculate and cleverly designed to maximise space, with comforts like a nearby shower and underfloor heating. Added touches like brownies and breakfast tray were great. I fell asleep listening to rain on the roof and woke up to sheep and birdsong - bliss! Would love to return and explore the area more.

Me and my partner stayed for a couples night away and the hut was perfect. Very clean and just beautiful. The hot tub was lovely Location is very private The host was brilliant, messaging me keeping up to date with everything Lovely welcoming gifts We are definitely coming back but next time 2 nights instead of 1. We loved every minute of our stay

We booked the shepherds hut last minute after our wedding for a short mini moon. Tamara accepted our request very quickly and started heating the hot tub for us! Nothing was too much effort or trouble fornTarama. We were greeted with such friendliness with any encounter. There was a handy little shop there for some essentials but we would still recommend going prepared with some fruit, snacks and a some easy dinners. Fantastic stay here! We loved it. Despite the rain! Thank you for having us!

Jules was brilliant, we loved our stay at the Shepherds Hut and will be back again! Thanks again Jules!

We enjoyed a restful and restorative weekend at the Meadow View Shepherd's Hut. The aspect of the hut is absolutely stunning, looking out over views of the Shropshire hills. The space feels incredibly private and has so many thoughtful touches, including BBQ and firepit equipment. David was really friendly and provided helpful instructions on finding the property as well as local guidance. We'd love to visit again in the near future!

We had such a wonderful stay at this lovely little place in the Forest of Dean. The property was beautifully kept and felt perfectly secluded, offering peace and quiet right on the edge of the forest. It was only a short walk or drive to a number of fantastic walking trails, and we were lucky enough to spot plenty of wildlife, including deer and a variety of birds. The space itself was charming and comfortable—just what we needed to unwind. We were also blessed with stunning weather, which made exploring the area even more enjoyable. A truly beautiful place in a beautiful setting—what a perfect getaway.

Absolutely perfect. Our two young children were nervous to stay away from home, were so at ease they didn't want to leave. Really is a 5* all round. Chickens are bonkers and super friendly. The only negative was we never got to meet Victoria to thank her in person. Which really isn't negative at all 😀 I would have just gushed at her! It's so easy to navigate everything we had no worries in the world. We literally had the entire place to ourselves. Thank you so much. I didn't want to leave either x

The Shepherd's Hut has everything you need for luxury camping! Lovely interior with dreamy touches such as sash windows, high-quality bedding, and enamelware. Well designed and clear handbook, and friendly and helpful hosts. We camped in style, cooked outdoors on the butane camping stove, provided, and roasted marshmallows (also provided) at night over the fire pit . It was also classy touch having your own WC and shower allotted to Shepherd's Hut. Fantastic location, 5 minute shuffle to a gravel beach on the banks of the River Wye, great for canoeists or just lazing around watching the swans.

Lovely shepherds hut in a beautiful location with private garden. Merriscourt Team were very helpful and responsive and the hut had all amenities for an overnight stay while attending local festival.

What a lovely tranquil spot with a pretty garden and stream and a lovely outside space to relax. The hut is very nice, a great space and our host was very friendly and welcoming. I would recommend this place and may well return for a longer stay as so much to explore in the area.

What can I say?! Just amazing. Beautiful and peaceful surroundings. Fantastic host. Every little detail thought of and such a high standard. Loved everything about this stay. Will definitely recommend and more importantly definitely be back. Thank you so much Lou, it is simply perfect.

We had a wonderful time at Emily’s shepherd’s hut. The hut itself was beautiful and had everything we needed, as well as a lovely wood burning stove, a comfy bed and lots of natural light and ambiance. The area around the Airbnb is beautiful and very peaceful. Emily was so responsive and friendly and even picked us up and dropped us off at the station! We will be visiting again very soon 🥰

Amazing stay! Such a lovely little shepherds hut which was well equipped and perfect for us. Breakfast provided was a bonus and felt so welcome by Rosalind and family. We would definitely return if we were in the area!

I brought my wife here for a birthday surprise, Sharon put up some lovely birthday banners, she went above and beyond for us. The place was spotlessly clean and has everything you need for your stay. Us & the dog had the most amazing weekend, it really is a special place, we will most definitely be returning😊

Probably the most luxurious and beautifully decorated shepherd's hut me and my partner had the pleasure of staying at. Cherry was a great host, we felt like we had the privacy we needed and the much needed getaway from the city, surrounded by Wales countryside beauty and quietness.

Sally's place was the perfect getaway! If you're looking for somewhere that will be enjoyable for a dog who can be nervous of other dogs, this is a gem! No loose dogs, very secure garden, I could relax on the lounger or in the hot tub without worrying where he is or what he's doing. Sally is very dog savvy and has rescue dogs herself so was really understanding of my boy's needs which meant so much. The cabin was perfect for the 2 of us and had everything we needed in terms of facilities and ways to cook, everything thoughtfully done and a beautiful sunrise view over the fields. Great food options nearby, if you're vegan definitely check out Rob's Fish Bar for a really good vegan menu. Thank you Sally for a relaxing stay, we will definitely be back!

Would highly recommend this getaway to anyone! Excellent place, excellent service and all around brilliant. Janine was so helpful and extremely welcoming to us. Thank you guys, hopefully see you again soon! 😊
