    A wonderful experience. I am looking forward to staying at Mitford Gypsy Hut again. ARRIVAL By train, then a short walk to the Shepherd's Hut, easy to find / visible from main road. FIRST IMPRESSION Easy and safe access up a couple of steps with an adjacent handrail. Also a battery powered light to use if it happens to be dark INTERIOR Absolutely immaculately fitted out. As Shepherd's Huts go, Mitford Gypsy Hut is luxurious and spacious. KITCHEN and FOOD PREP AREA Really well designed. It worked exceptionally well for me. BATHROOM Compact and really well designed and fitted out. Shower, wash basin, WC, a delightful mirrored cabinet, and a heated towel rail ( I was there during Storm Darragh and was kitted out for horizontal rain. I was able to dry my ouside clothes no problem xxx) LOG BURNER Easy to use and quickly heated up the Hut. I recommend using it if it's cold or wet outside and particularly if it's both! THE BED It was just so comfy and toasty warm. I actually slept better than I do at home. In summary it was a real test to be staying in a Shepherd's Hut in the middle of a storm in December. I'm age 76 so have moderate mobility issues and like home comforts. My stay was for 5 nights and I would have been happy to stay much longer.

    Thanks so much, John - we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay (and during a storm!) We very much hope to see you again. Sam Property Owner

The Saxon market town of Moreton-in-Marsh lies on the Fosse Way Roman Road in the northern Cotswolds and boasts many elegant 18th century buildings, which are home to traditional inns, serving real ales and home-cooked food, tea rooms, restaurants and individual shops to suit all tastes.

Less than five miles away is Stow-on-the-Wold, the highest town in the Cotswolds.
