Overview

With its neutral interiors, high end touches and fantastic location, The Sheiling has everything needed to create a delightful countryside retreat. This cosy Cotswold shepherds' hut sleeps two guests (no children aged 17 or under permitted except for one infant aged two or under), in one bedroom, with a shower room. In the cooler months, admire the views from the warm bed or cuddle up with a book whilst enjoying the sounds of the crackling wood burning stove. In the summer months, open the double doors to welcome in the outdoors with views of lovely greenery and the sound of birdsong, a wonderful backdrop for balmy evening dinners or even working from home days! This dog friendly holiday hut is located just a short walk from the picturesque village green of Bledington, with its quaint brook and delicious country pub.

Location Information

Bledington is an award-winning village in the Evenlode Valley, along the renowned Oxfordshire Way walking trail. The village benefits from a country pub, The King's Head Inn, a picturesque village green with traditional maypole and a 15th century church. This quaint village frequently hosts an array of popular events, including the Bledington Music Festival, and is a great base for the Big Feastival event in nearby Kingham.
