Hut holiday rentals in Darwen

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.

Stayed here for 2 nights for the bank holiday weekend. The area was beautiful, the Lodge itself was modern and very clean. It made for a perfect get away with the private Hot Tub and cosy fireplace over looking the scenic view. Lodge was very private and secure. They provided firewood and blankets for the nights we were there and hosted a small shop for immediate conveniences such as drinks and snacks. Their information booklet had detailed lists of local shops, restaurants and nearby walks which was amazing, it saved us a lot of effort in a new area trying to find things to explore. We didn't get chance to check out the farm they had with several animals but were lucky enough to have the farm house cats come visit us each morning which we loved!

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 :)

A great couple of days relaxing away from it all. Beautiful location. We have 3 dogs who loved the freedom to roam about. Brilliant

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 had such a lovely stay! We arrived to lots of small additional touches, which made the stay very special. The hut was also incredibly comfortable and serene with it’s views overlooking the fields. Perfect for a quiet getaway. Such a lovely host also, would definitely recommend!! x

Thank you for a wonderful stay. So calm and peaceful and just what we needed to relax! We bought our dog who loved roaming around the enclosed garden. Beautiful well equipped cabin and hot tub.

Incredible stay. Nathan and Katie were the perfect hosts and created the most amazing little place to stay if visiting Alton towers. Highly highly recommend!

Wonderfully peaceful location. Sitting outside by the stream in the evenings with a glass of wine and listening to the birdsong was the perfect way to end some busy days at Hay Festival (which was a pleasant 25 min drive through lovely scenery on very quiet roads). Superb hosts, helpful and responsive. The hut had everything we needed and the beds were very comfortable. Would recommend!

Lovely Shepherd hut which was beautifully presented and had lots of space. Brilliant views from the large windows, glass doors and lovely outside sitting area. We loved using the pizza oven. Laura was very helpful with all instructions. Will stay again!

Lovely property and exactly as described.

A lovely place to go away for a weekend retreat to relax! Beautiful scene and views. We took our little dog and the enclosed area around the hut was great for him to run around in nice and secure - the gates do have a little gap under so just keep an eye if you have a small sneaky escapee dog!

The Shepherd's Hut was amazing. Really comfortable with everything we needed. The views were amazing and it felt incredibly relaxing.

What an absolute gem of a place. Beautiful accommodation in the most peaceful surroundings. The hut was immaculate with plenty of facilities. Sitting in the hot tub with the most amazing views has been delightful. An absolute must to visit to recharge the batteries. Highly recommend this lovely hut - We will definitely return.

We had a wonderful stay at Helen & Chris’s shepherds hut! They are the perfect hosts—friendly, welcoming, and incredibly responsive. The hut itself is absolutely beautiful, immaculately presented, and thoughtfully equipped with everything you could need. Set on a quiet country lane with stunning views towards the Malvern Hills, it’s the ideal spot for a peaceful countryside retreat. It truly has everything a couple could want for a relaxing escape. We highly recommend it and will definitely be returning in the future!

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

Lovely little hut in a beautiful place, overlooking the fields and rolling hills. Hut was spacious and had all we needed for a few days away. Super dog friendly with the fence having wire on it, especially for our 8 month old cocker spaniel who was very intrigued by the cows! Becky was also responsive and helpful when my clumsy partner 😂 accidentally broke a glass and she came and hand delivered another later that evening. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others!

Beautiful place! Photos don’t do it justice. All me and partner spoke about is how it would be a dream to live here. Amber was so helpful and left us more than we needed to have a great time!

Where to start! I made a dramatic entrance a day early and Nick and family handled it fantastically. They made me and my dog feel welcome from the offset, despite interrupting the tennis! The hut was pretty, peaceful, and private; just what I wanted. Lots to see and do in the area if you want to, and Nick was on hand to give advice on local attractions, too. If you just want to unplug and unwind, Ty Gwyn is also the loveliest place to hide out and relax. At night I was treated to bats right outside my door, and a tawny in the distance. The bed was super comfy, and the log burner cosy. I loved it that much, I added an extra night to my stay. Alan (dog) had the best time, too. I wouldn’t hesitate to rebook, or recommend Ty Gwyn. Everyone I met on my trip was lovely. Wales, we will miss you!

Absolutely incredible getaway for me and my partner. The animals were so so lovely, especially the little black cat! Spectacular view - would recommend to everyone!!

Thom was the best host I reckon I have had. Very funny and witty and it was the perfect start to our stay. The location and stay was beautiful and it really is a magical place, I would 100% stay again and I am certainly going to recommend it to my friends👍🏼

Popes hill was such a lovely stay , took my partner for his birthday along with our dog. Absolutely stunning views , lots of nice places to eat in the local area with a short drive , loads of lovely walks on your doorstep. Surrounding by wildlife and views. Bens place was lovely , spotless , a lovely hot tub, good size shower and bathroom. Perfect little stay. Highly recommended.

Peggys hut is a peaceful hidden gem! It has everything you need for a peaceful escape, my little jack russell loved it and playing with the cows/young bulls in a field right next to the hut, the bed was super comfortable and the shower/toilet hut at the side was modern/immaculate I will definitely be looking at stopping again. Also a nice bonus is the farm shop/petting zoo only 15 minutes walk up the road! Rachel was such a responsive friendly host and nothing was too much. Thank you.

Thank you so so much for a wonderful weekend. We had the absolute best time. The location, the property, the scenery… words don’t do it justice! To anybody who’s looking for a magical getaway, then I suggest you get this booked ASAP! We will be telling all our friends and family and will 1000% be returning. To Michael and his wife thank you so much ❤️
