"As is inevitable with a shepherd's hut, space is limited, so the hut is best suited to shorter, slimmer visitors."
Tall and/or stouter visitors might find some aspects more challenging, such as the shower enclosure. The property was very clean and adequately equipped for two guests. The bed was comfortable, but a bit of a challenge for those of us who need to get up during the night to visit the toilet! The previous occupants had damaged one of the blinds (above the bed) and we were told this would be repaired during our stay, but that did not happen. Nonetheless, we were very comfortable and the hut suited our purposes more than adequately (we were visiting our daughter and her family in nearby Faringdon). We would certainly stay again in future. Uffington is a very attractive village with many thatched houses and an excellent community general stor.
Thank you Frank for your feedback and pleasing to hear some positive points in there.Yes unfortunately Shepard huts are quite confined but these are some of the largest out there on the market being 22ft long and 7ft 6inch wide which all of our guests so far have been surprised and more than pleased with after all they are Shepard huts!Sorry the blind did no get fixed but I did call up to you on 2 occasions but you were out and unfortunately I did not have a number to call as one was not left on the booking.Apart from the blinds I’m pleased the hut suited your needs and you enjoyed your stay with us. Many thanks Johnny and the team Property Owner

"We had a brilliant stay, and everything was very clean and well presented."
Everything had been thought off, a fire pit a BBQ, firelighters, a real home from home. We would love to stay again. The only one tiny thing I would ask, could there be a few more teaspoons and another couple of mugs. You have my full permission to publish the first paragraph of my review, the second paragraph is for the owners only. Thanks Kind regards.

"We had a fabulous stay in ‘Ridgeway’ and were greeted by the most refreshing hosts!"
Hosts were very helpful and responsive to messages but not at all intrusive! The cabin was fitted with all mod cons, great smart TV and running hot water at all times. The cleanliness was impeccable and there were plenty of cooking utensils and instructions. The cabin was so charming and quiet we didn’t quite want to leave!

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ridgeway, the hut was beautiful and very well designed and kitted out."
The owners were easily contactable and the welcome pack of tea, coffee, milk etc was much appreciated. The weather was not kind to us but there was plenty to do in the area and we actually just enjoyed chilling in the hut, it was such a lovely place. We did get some local walking in between the rain showers! The local pub was friendly with really amazing good. All in all, a perfect place to stay.

"Fantastic Shepherds Hut, done to a very high specification."
Log burner heats the space up if it is chilly, really quickly. Took me a day to get used to the peace and quiet, but in an ideal location if this is what you are looking for. Owners close by and helpful.

"Everything described as it was."
There was a bbq and we had a bit of human error trying to get it going. We were so hungry that we gave up and used the hob. The cleaning products were vegan which was superb as other half is vegan. The hut and bed itself was super cosy and I even loved the little bathroom, the place I would say is soundproof, we heard a house having a house party around 22:30 and the double glazing did justice. I would recommend the cosy getaway If you need a break.

"Amazing place to stay, the cabin was exactly as described and even better in person."
