About
Inside
Dumbleton Shepherd Hut brings a luxurious twist to hillside living, with a calm, elegant interior shaped by industrial textures, soft linens and generous views across the Vale of Evesham. A comfortable kingsize bed sits alongside a stylish shower room finished with Bert & May tiles and a copper sink, creating a warm, contemporary feel.
The central living space includes a compact kitchenette with cast-iron cookware, Nkuku glassware, a Nespresso machine and a two-hob induction stove, paired with a dining nook for quiet meals. A log burner anchors the room, bringing gentle warmth on cooler days and evenings. Every detail — from French linen bedding to soft robes and thoughtful lighting — is designed to make the stay feel effortless.
Outside
A standout feature of Dumbleton is its private copper bath hut — a quiet, separate space with uninterrupted views of the valley. The Hurlingham bath sits perfectly positioned to take in the landscape, offering a slow, indulgent way to start or end the day.
The hut’s outdoor area includes seating for relaxed evenings, along with a firepit for watching the light shift across the hills. Though it shares the field with two neighbouring huts, native planting and careful spacing create a secluded, peaceful setting.
Location
Situated beside The Royal Oak in Gretton, the hut benefits from the pub’s welcoming atmosphere and easy access to tennis and pickleball courts. Winchcombe, Broadway, Cleeve Hill and the Cotswold Way are all close by, offering walks, viewpoints and leisurely outings. Cheltenham, Daylesford and other Cotswold highlights lie within comfortable reach for longer days out.
Access
Check-in from 3pm, check-out by 10am. Pets are welcome. Parking is in The Royal Oak car park, with a pedestrian gate leading directly to the huts. External cameras monitor access points and the car park but do not cover the private guest areas surrounding the hut.
Blending industrial elegance with peaceful hillside views and the luxury of a private bath hut, Dumbleton Shepherd Hut offers a restorative escape designed for slow, quiet living.
Why We Love It
The copper bath hut with its sweeping valley views brings a sense of stillness that’s hard to replicate — a place to soak, breathe and slow down. Paired with the warmth of the log burner and the calm of the hillside, Dumbleton strikes a rare balance of indulgence and simplicity.

Cotswolds
The Cotswolds is one of England’s most picturesque regions, celebrated for its honey-stone villages, rolling hills, and timeless charm. Spanning several counties, it’s an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty where winding lanes lead to historic market towns, ancient churches, and cosy country pubs.
From elegant towns like Stow-on-the-Wold and Burford to the peaceful meadows around Chipping Campden and Broadway, the Cotswolds offers a perfect mix of heritage and tranquillity. Days can be spent exploring stately homes, wandering through flower-filled gardens, or walking the scenic Cotswold Way.
Local life moves at a gentler pace here, shaped by centuries of craftsmanship, agriculture, and tradition. Visitors can browse independent boutiques, sample seasonal produce at farm shops, or join local festivals that celebrate everything from food to music and the arts. Whether you’re enjoying a lazy afternoon tea, cycling between hilltop villages, or visiting renowned landmarks like Blenheim Palace, the Cotswolds promises an authentic and memorable taste of the English countryside.
