Dave September 2024

“I stayed at Waylands for a little solo trip away, taking some time for myself to reset, unwind, and relax and I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place to do so.”

It was so lovely to wake up in the morning and see the horses roaming about outside, and the whole surroundings were just full of peacefulness and tranquility. Owners were absolutely amazing as well! The hut itself was a cosy, inviting space. Definitely recommend Chapel Farm Shepherds Huts! Thank you very much for providing a lovely place to have a little me time :)

“Thank you for a wonderful and restorative stay at Waylands.”

It was amazing waking up in our snug bed to the beautiful and peaceful countryside view and the horses mooching about in the paddock. The Prosecco and milk provided were lovely extra touches. Such a clean fresh scent in the hut as well and we loved the hand wash!! Thank you so much!!

Jordan December 2022

“A really lovely place to stay for a few nights, thrilled to have got it over the NYE weekend.”

Only note - the toilet seat is too small for the toilet!

- Jordan, December 2022

Thank you for your kind words regarding the place to stay,I don’t understand the comment regarding the toilet seat as it’s a standard size seat which comes with that standard size toilet and fits perfectly.Had no comments regarding it before from the many guests. Many thanks from Johnny and the team. Property Owner

Andreen August 2022

“What a wonderful find Waylands was.”

I booked very last minute for a couple of nights peace and quiet with my dog and I wasn't disappointed. I was greeted by the owner when I arrived who was very friendly and helpful. The place itself was amazing, a beautiful view over the fields and hills and the White Horse of Uffington in the distance. There was lots of space for my dog to roam but its not enclosed, I took a lead hook to stop him disappearing. Inside Waylands, it was spotless and so well set up. It had everything I needed, salt, pepper, even a garlic press!. There was a bottle or prosecco in the fridge and a bottle of milk which was a lovely touch. There were toiletries laid out in the bathroom as well. The sleeping area was so cosy and really comfortable. It was Idyllic and really quiet, its also very dark, not light pollution so great for star gazing but lots of outdoor lighting to use with lots of seating. Another bonus is that its not totally isolated, the village shop is just round the corner as is the local pub and lots to do locally. It also has very strong 4G if you dont want to be totally off grid. Thank you for a wonderful stay

- Andreen, August 2022

Thank you so much for your positive and kind comments it means a lot to us,and we are very pleased you enjoyed your stay with us .Hopefully we may see you again in the future. Thanks Johnny and the team. Property Owner

Sue July 2021

“We arrived at Waylands to a warm reception and was delighted to see that we were going to stay in the beautiful, brand new and well equipped Shepherd's Hut.”

Waylands was situated in a private and peaceful position on the owners land and we were blessed with gorgeous sunshine too. Jonathan and family were extremely friendly and happy to help in any way. Perfect place for exploring the sights of Oxfordshire and we hope to return very soon. Fabulous holiday. .
