At Willow

Outside wood fired bath – The outside hot bath provides an experience to bathe under the stars surrounded by beautiful tall trees, even better in the early mornings when accompanied by the dawn bird song!

  • Private Entrance – Willow has a private entrance and car parking area. 

  • A Country environment – Views across the Churn valley from the rear of Willow and beautiful trees and greenery to the front, enclosed by a beautiful cotswold wall and ambient lighting. 
  • Copper & Nickel boudoir style bath – Surrounded by uplighting, a double ended William Holland copper bateau bath on a platform at the end of the bed maybe to enjoy a bottle of fizz. If it’s a shower you prefer, the en-suite bathroom provides the perfect environment.

    Willow is our first shepherds hut at Cotswold Country Escapes, when we visited Blackdown Huts in Illminster we fell in love with the family environment and their obvious love and pride they have in the making of their huts – all of which are hand made with over a 1000 nails you see painstakingly nailed in.

Welcome to Willow — Connecting you to nature

Willow is two hand-crafted shepherds huts joined together with a beautiful glass walkway which connects you to the outdoors whilst moving between the huts. This provides a sense of space and yet cosiness within a secluded romantic cabin nestled amidst whispering ash and poplar trees. 

Our beautiful hut is set in a private space with only trees and animals for company. The rear doors lead directly onto an enclosed outside bathroom with a hideaway to indulge in each other’s company with a woodfired bath and seating. 

The quality of the materials and the excellence of the build and craftsmanship are second to none, and we feel very blessed to have the opportunity to enjoy all of the luxury the huts have to offer.  

Inside Willow you can enjoy a full-sized double bed, a dreamy William Holland roll top bath, a cosy and comfortable seating area, a hand-crafted kitchen to enjoy some self-contained cooking, a spacious shower room and WC and a stunning star gazing roof light above the bed.

The oak topped kitchen is a real treat and is perfect for couples dining in. The kitchen has an induction hob, fridge and small belfast sink…..all essential utensils are provided along with with tea, coffee and sugar. We are more than happy to provide food to cook from the local farm shop on request. There are traditional games for entertainment, ones that we have many memories from through our upbringing and camping experiences. 

If you are like us we always enjoy a naughty breakfast when away, any excuse! Continental or English refreshments are provided for your first morning’s lazy ease into the day.
