About Shepards Retreat
2 bedrooms, 3 beds
1 bathroom
The living area of Shepards Retreat is brimming with rustic character, complete with a wood-burning stove to keep you and your dog(s) toasty on cooler evenings. But it’s the outdoor space that really steals the show. Step out onto the terrace to find a beautiful sunken hot tub, just waiting for you to relax under the stars with a glass of wine, or a non-alcoholic tipple if that’s more your style.
There’s also an outdoor dining area, a lovely formal garden, and a fire pit – ideal for gathering around to share stories after dark. There are also plenty of scenic local footpaths to explore with your dog, that wind their way through the Cotswold countryside and up to Bredon Hill, or simply take an afternoon stroll to the nearby pub, just two miles away. With endless picture-perfect Cotswold villages nearby, you’ll never be short of things to do in this dog-friendly slice of Cotswolds luxury.
