About
The Hideaway is a shepherd's hut in a garden beside its owners' house in Filkins, the stone village halfway between Burford and Lechlade, with the Five Alls within walking distance and the Cotswold Wildlife Park about five minutes' drive away.
Four steps lead up into one room: a log burner, a small kitchen with a combination microwave, a two-ring hob, a fridge and a Nespresso machine, a fold-down table and an armchair, and a double bed in a raised nook with a smart TV (on-demand apps only, with your own logins). The shower room has a walk-in electric shower and a heated towel rail, and an electric heater backs up the stove. Outside, the lawn is fully enclosed, with a bistro table for two, a charcoal barbecue (bring your own charcoal) and a wood-fired hot tub. A starter supply of wood for the stove and the tub, linen, towels and Wi-Fi are included; StayCotswold says mobile signal varies by network.
It sleeps two. When we checked in October 2026, StayCotswold’s listing said the hot tub was out of use because of fire warnings and a Thames Water hosepipe ban, so ask whether it is running again before you book. One medium-sized dog is welcome for £40 a booking. There is parking for one car but no electric car charging. Check-in is from 5pm and check-out by 10am; a £150 deposit or a damage waiver is taken, and as the owners live next door, guests are asked to keep music down outside after 11pm. The smoke and carbon monoxide alarms are sound-only, which StayCotswold flags for guests with serious hearing loss. The hut has no website of its own and is let through StayCotswold and Expedia.
