What's included in your shepherd's hut

A fixed double bed plus table and chairs both inside and out, a kitchenette and ensuite bathroom. The kitchenette has 2 gas cooking rings, fridge and sink plus a microwave and toaster. Outside you will find a BBQ, perfect for sunny day cooking, and an additional fire pit, which will continue to keep you warm as the summer evenings turn cooler and you gaze at the stars until the early hours (there is very little light pollution as the village does not have street lighting).

• Towels & bedding
• Crockery and cutlery
• Cooking utensils and equipment
• Washing Up liquid, dish cloths and tea towels
• Basic condiments- Cooking oil, Salt, Pepper, Tomato sauce
• Tea, Coffee, Sugar, Milk
• Bottled drinking water, as hut water supply is not suitable for drinking
• BBQ, firepit and utensils plus a fuel starter kit – more wood and kindling is available to buy at £7.50 per bag

There are several electrical points in the hut, should you wish to bring some home comforts with you. Note there is no TV or music player.

Flexible arrival days depending on overall availability. Arrival time between 5.00pm – 7.00pm or outside these times by prior arrangement. Very sorry, no dogs or pets due to the close proximity of the farm and conservation areas. The hut is only suitable for adults aged 18 and over.

Lie back and relax

In a heavenly wood-fired hot tub

Occupying a secluded spot, screened for privacy you'll find the very latest addition to our Shepherd's Hut experience.

Rest awhile in soothing warm waters and take in the tranquility of your surroundings – heavenly during the day or at night under starlit skies.

• We will show you how to light the log burner when you arrive.
• The tub takes approximately 2 hours to reach optimum temperature.
• We will provide a bag of logs. If you need more we can supply extra for a small charge.
• Don't forget your swimwear and towels!

Local provisions

Butchers, bakers, grocers and more

We are fortunate to have some excellent independent village stores and supermarkets within a few miles of Kelmscott. While there isn't a shop in the village, there is an excellent pub and Blake's Kitchen in Clanfield, just 3 miles away, is a great deli, bakery and source of general supplies as well as being a post office. Also 3 miles away is Lechlade, which has a number of shops, cafes, pubs, takeaways and restaurants. A little further away in Faringdon (6 miles south east) there is a Waitrose, Tesco & Aldi while in Carterton (7 miles north east) you can find Asda and Aldi plus independent shops. We will happily point in the right direction once here.
