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 :)

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.

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!

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).

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

We had a wonderfully cosy stay in Aurora. Waking up in the comfy enclosed bed to see it snowing outside was dreamy. Aurora had everything we needed and was the perfect place to get away from it all and relax.

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.

I booked Aurora because we had one couple too many for my birthday celebrations at Folly View. The shepherds hut is absolutely gorgeous. So cosy and beautifully fitted out. It has a little log burner, shower and verandah with wonderful views. The couple who staying in it LOVED it. My friend said it was the best nights sleep ever, the shower and all facilities worked really well and they were very happy. It would be a fab place to stay as a couple as it feels very private to the other properties on the farm but is also a great option if you are large group with a couple who might like their own space or an early night!
StayCotswold were fantastic to deal with and so helpful and professional

We booked Aurora for a short honeymoon after our wedding, and it did not disappoint. We wanted something more intimate and unusual than a hotel, and this property ticked all the boxes. It is beautifully presented, surrounded by gorgeous views, is private and the finishing touches were really sweet. We were welcomed by some essential food for breakfast which were really appreciated as it was late when we arrived, along with cookies and a bottle of wine, which was welcome after a long drive. It is also well located for exploring many of the local towns and villages. We will definitely be looking at returning in the future. Thank you for a lovely stay.
