Shepherds hut holiday rentals in Western Europe

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!

An absolutely dreamy escape for two! complete with scenic views, and enough special touches to feel at home. Fiona made everything so comfortable and we look forward to coming back!

Excellent location, secluded and quiet in beautiful surroundings in the Vosges. The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful and always available by phone. Thank you for the hospitality - we were able to unwind and enjoy nature!

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 :)

We loved our stay in the shepherd's hut. We wanted a peaceful escape surrounded by nature and it was exactly that. We were rained in for one day but it ended up being our favourite experience- the hut is so cosy, everything you need is to hand, and we could sit and watch the scenery for hours. On the sunnier days there is a short walk to the coast path and the views of the coastline. The toilet and shower is the perfect set up, we also loved the outside bath and the wood stove.

We loved staying in the shepherd’s hut - we relaxed and enjoyed every moment there Such helpful and friendly hosts

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 the most perfect stay at Rosies Retreat with our dog. Lucy was a fantastic host, we loved how accommodating she was through airbnb and we love a key box check in, we were left to enjoy the space which is how we like it but we knew she was there in the background if we did find we needed anything. This is a perfect retreat with a well behaved reactive dog who just loves to look out at a view and has nothing around to spook them 🐾 all three of us are fully recharged and already looking forward to another visit sometime x

We had the most magical stay at this shepherd’s hut in the beautiful West Yorkshire countryside! Surrounded by absolutely stunning views, it was the perfect peaceful escape from daily life. We brought our binoculars and were amazed by the local wildlife. During our stay we spotted an owl, deer, peacocks, oyster catchers, and so many more. A real highlight was feeding apples to the friendly Highland cows in the field right next to the hut, such a unique and special experience. The hut itself was immaculately presented and by far the best Airbnb we’ve stayed at in the UK. It had everything we could possibly need and more. Thoughtfully designed, cosy, and comfortable, it felt like a real home away from home. The location is ideal too, just a short 10-minute drive to Haworth, a charming and quaint village steeped in history, perfect for a day out exploring. Cate was a lovely host—very responsive and helpful. A small suggestion would be to add a curtain on the door window!

A magical small home nestled in nature, with incredible attention to detail. It’s a true oasis of peace — the kind of place that leaves a special mark on your heart. The location is also convenient for exploring nearby areas by car. The hosts were friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. We had a minor issue adjusting the water temperature, but it didn’t cause any major inconvenience. We highly recommend this lovely spot — and would love to come back someday!

Fabulous place that is beyond what you would expect from a Shepherd’s Hut. Great thought and attention to detail has clearly gone into building and designing this place. It’s deceptively spacious and has got everything you need and more, the hot tub and outside seating are real bonuses, all in all a fabulous spot.

Lovely stay, very peaceful; loved the use of the sauna 👍 close to Glendalough. Great communication from Sandra. Would return

Such an idyllic location and probably the best Shepherds hut and location we’ve stayed in. Even with mixed weather it’s so cosy with a little fire or relaxing in the hot tub under shelter. Highly recommend and such welcoming hosts too. Well be back again for sure.

Lovely, peaceful location with beautiful views. Was very cosy and plenty things to do in the near area. Great friendly hosts

Fantastic stay. Location, privacy, clean, everything we wanted from our weekend away. The host kept in constant communication to explain the check in process which couldn’t be easier and was on hand for any issues we may of had whilst checking in, which we didn’t but nice to know he was there if needed. Early departure time was the only knit pick which is probably due to us not wanting to leave but other than that we couldn’t fault our stay. Highly recommend to anyway who wants to switch off and enjoy some peace and tranquility

booked as a surprise night away for my husband's birthday and it was such a a treat! Such a peaceful spot with lovely views and a great space to relax. We had dinner at The Red Lion and it was fantastic then in the morning we woke up to a complimentary breakfast which was delicious and we were able to enjoy outside the hut for a quiet morning before heading home. Staff were all very friendly from when we arrived, ate and checked out. Would definitely stay again!

We had such a wonderful stay for my partners birthday, Clive went the extra mile to make us feel welcome by putting up some birthday decorations and leaving us some treats for when we arrived. It's a perfect place to get away and unwind in nature, we were always surrounded by animals whether it was Norman the cat visiting during a bbq, hanging out with the goats, or watching the ducks drift about in the stream while relaxing in the hot tub. Thank you very much to Clive and Nikki for hosting us. I cannot recommend Kingfisher enough, we truly had an amazing time :)

Mike's place was an absolute dream for our pre-baby, relaxing getaway with our Whippet! It completely exceeded our expectations. The location is perfect, right on the SW coast path yet feeling wonderfully secluded, while still being just a quick 5-minute drive to Lyme Regis. Although the listing mentioned the garden wasn't fully secure, we found it to be very secure for our Whippet which was an added bonus. There are also several gates to pass through on the way from the parking area, adding to the security. Our dog lovedddd running about with a frisbee and then sunbathing ha! We honestly loved the property so much (especially the pool!) that we barely left, only venturing out for morning coffee and breakfast. Mike's recommendations were spot on – Poco Pizza was fantastic for takeaway, and communication was excellent throughout. We'll be hard-pressed to find another Airbnb that compares and look forward to coming back with our baby. Thank you!

Bliss ✨ Little Bear is a magical place. Private and peaceful with picturesque views and sounds of bird song. The perfect place to relax and recharge. We felt very much at home here and hope to return one day.

Lovely property and exactly as described.

Wow - what a magical place to stay. Daniel has created a beautiful get-away, and so close to the beach. We were amazed at the craft that has gone into making the shephard's hut, hot tub and sauna, and the garden room! Hot tub: We enjoyed our prosecco in the hot tub which was great. The tub has colour changing lights and got nice and hot. It was quite dark and stormy when we went in which only added to the experience! We just kept saying "wow." Lovely white towel robes too. Sauna: Sauna was fab and heated up very quickly. Cold shower close by to cool down with. Garden room: lovely little chill out area. Little hang drum, a guitar (bottom string missing), ukulele and a cool darts board which was great fun (dart plastic a bit worn) but nonetheless great fun. Shephards hut: very cosy, comfy bed and great nights sleep. Bathroom clean and great smelling soap. Area: relaxed, and local JJ's chippy was excellent and had great food at Paul Jones restaurant. Lots of shells on the beach

A great get away that was easy to find. With fantastic views and an extremely peaceful area surrounded by farmland. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back!!

Great cosy hut . Had everything you needed. Paul and Caroline are very friendly and hospitable. Nothing too much trouble.

I booked this break for my wife’s birthday, we did little shop just up the road at Tesco then found address easy with Apple Maps, Donna came straight out to welcome us, showed us around, introduced us to dogs after checking we were ok with them, then she left us to enjoy our stay, we loved the hot tub whilst listening to the birds singing and visiting the feeders, we cooked on the bbq. The surroundings were so peaceful and was great to unwind and recharge in the most beautiful setting. Will definitely return and would highly recommend.
