Amazing for a quiet escape

We loved our stay at Aurora. Such a beautiful location. Perfect for a quiet escape in the countryside. The hut has everything you need, plus the bed is so cosy and comfy. We can't wait to go back again soon. Highly recommend staying there.

Excellent long weekend stay

The shepherd's hut was perfect in every respect. It provided us with excellent accommodation, and the gas effect wood burner was great for keeping the temperature just right. Super setting with lovely views and great walks nearby including a nice 20 minute cross fields walk to the pub. There are also plenty of places to visit within short driving distances.

Cute Shepherds hut

We were a group staying in Folly view and we also booked the shepherds hut that is alongside as it gave us a bit more additional space. Very cute and cosy cabin!

Wonderful Shepherd Hut for a short break

Cannot fault this property. Small but beautifully furnished providing all essential kitchen utensils. Lovely welcome pack. Perfect place to get away from the hustle & bustle of life.

Lovely stay

We had a fantastic stay at Aurora. Our dog loved the fenced in garden area that is generous for the property size and we found plenty of places to travel to within a reasonable distance. The lodge was exactly as appears in photos / description. We would consider going back (although possibly with family and staying in one of the larger properties on site).

Idyllic sray

The shepherd’s hut exceeded expectations. Lovely accommodation and the little ‘gifts’ of biscuits, muffins and wine were appreciated. Lots of lovely walks on the doorstep including one to the local pub and a great base for exploring Oxfordshire.

The manager let us look at one of the other properties that would be a great place should we return with friends in the future .

Autumn Anniversary Break

Absolutely beautiful Shepherd's hut in a stunning location. We were impressed with the space and the enclosed garden for our dachshund, he loved it! Had everything you could need and was a lovely place to relax for a few days. Thank you, we will definitely be returning :)

Would definitely stay again

We had a few lovely days in Aurora and enjoyed the Cotswolds during a settled, dry spell of weather. Aurora's location is ideal to visit Burford, Stow and, our favourite, Bourton On The Water. Aurora was clean and comfortable, with a very good shower. The nearby Ye Old Swan pub offers good value meals overlooking the Thames. Overall an excellent experience.

A lovely place to stay for peace and quiet!

The shepherds hut was just lovely and had all we needed for our few days away. The bed was super comfy and the bathroom nice and clean. The location is just lovely and VERY quiet. It's also a good location for exploring the cotswolds. The little kitchen area (including a small fridge) was very useful and it was nice that the hut was already stocked with tea/coffe/sugar/biscuits and a bottle of wine. We had a lovely time....so nice in fact that it stopped us visiting places as the hut and location was so lovely! We were lucky with the weather but honestly, a really lovely place......we can't wait to return!

Fabulous

Cosy Shepherds hut with fire pit and bbq on private ground. Loved the location. Nice to be able to play table tennis and table football. Not far from Lechlade where you can hire kayaks. Would love to come and stay again.

Stay at Aurora

Great stay although very hot due to the heatwave. Lovely presented hut and great our door garden with Bbq and out door pit. Only one downside i feel was the steep steps to gain access to the garden. I think a addition of a handrail would be of great help also the steps are very shallow.

Quirky and dog friendly

Excellently situated to explore the Cotswolds with everything you need and very nice welcome package. Bed quirky and very comfortable if a little awkward to get onto for elderly person with knees! Lovely views and super secure field for dog. Sorry it wasn’t cold enough to take advantage of log burner.

70th birthday

We used Aurora as additional accommodation while staying in Folly View for a large family get together. The two properties are next to each other and was very convenient. The property is well equipped and very cute! It has an enclosed garden and all the amenities you need. The area is beautiful and the facilities on the farm are very good and well thought out. I would definitely recommend it to friends.

Brilliant

Really good accommodation, the property has a nice private feel to it being on the edge of the collection of barns. You’ve got great unspoilt views to sit on the decking with a drink in the evening too. Bed comfortable. Shower very good for a property of the size. Minor criticism would be we’d have preferred just an electric kettle than waiting for the one to boil on the hob which was pretty slow. Overall a brilliant place to stay and in a really nice location.

A break away from it all

What can i say, this was the idea place just to relax and unwind. It was just perfect for me and my partner just to nip away for a long weekend and recharge our batteries. The shepherds hut Aurora was just perfect, the bed reminded me of Santa Claus the movie as Santa sleeps in a similar bed lol. I have really bad back problems and sleeping on that mattress was even comfier than our bed at home. The hut was extremely clean, well kept and gorgeous. I can't wait to book again

Perfect for a relaxing countryside break!

I had always wanted to stay in a Shepherd’s hut and visit the Cotswolds and Aurora was the perfect choice! The hut was so cosy and aesthetically beautiful just like pictured. The views from the hut at any time of day are amazing but watching the sunset will top them. As a solo female traveller I felt safe at night and I would definitely recommend it. Location is ideal for travelling to other villages and close to local supermarkets if you need any thing and the local pub, right on the river, is only a 20 minute walk through fields and is definitely worth a visit. Can’t wait to visit the Cotswolds again! Loren

Another relaxing and picturesque stay

This was my 3rd time staying at Aurora and it was just as enjoyable as ever. My parents stayed in Honey Cottage this time around which is also a lovely property on Camden Farm. I arrived on my birthday, and between my Mum and Caroline they arranged a lovely welcome 'birthday' surprise; a beautiful bouquet of flowers and lots of sweets treats!! I always feel safe staying at Camden Farm and always look forward to returning. The location is ideal; secluded enough to be peaceful but also close enough to the town if you just need to pop and get something quickly from the supermarket or grabbing a takeaway. But also for day trips, it's pretty central that most places are between 40mins-1hr away within the Cotswolds. Look forward to my next visit!!

Such a gorgeous place to stay!

This is such an amazing place to stay if you are a couple coming to the Cotswold's. Aurora is so beautiful with everything you need to a great stay (BBQ, outside seating, lovely farm with great facilities and a private road outside so virtually zero car noise). Easy distance to all the great towns and places in the area and brilliant for walks. We can't wait to come back!

Great stay

Really enjoyed our stay here. Directions need updating when you get to the farm, but found it eventually. Hut is cosy and bed really comfy. Spacious. Good shower. Good views and location for exploring. Smart TV didn't connect due to internet I think.
