What do you love about our huts?

I don’t know about you, but it feels like the colder months have arrived. What happened to the blue skies and warm sun?

Our huts are open all year round, and thanks to the wood burning stoves and underfloor heating, they stay cosy and warm whatever the weather outside.

Surrounded by glorious Cotswold Countryside, take in the ever-changing seasonal views on our tranquil four generation family farm. Explore miles of unparalleled walks, cycle rides and all just a short distance from quintessential Cotswold places such as Burford, Bibury, Chipping Norton, Cheltenham and more.

Sorry we’ve been a bit quiet - we’ve been busy with wedding celebrations, congratulations Joe and Kate, and having an end of summer painting session in the huts, thank you Erika and Lyndsey!

Whether you’re working or relaxing, or maybe combining the two, here’s to the weekend!

Our huts are the perfect place to escape the day to day, minimise distractions and allow you time to crack on with that all important project.

Autumn has definitely arrived with a bang… grey skies, drizzle and a bit of wind.

But our huts are toasty warm with their underfloor heating and wood burners - in fact they are perfect for hunkering down with a good book and a cup of tea.

If you’re more the adventurous type whatever the weather, there is so much to do in the area, and the children have gone back to school so it’s definitely quieter out and about.

Our weekends are full, but there’s still a bit of availability in the week.

As always, you can book on our website - and don’t forget you can bring your dog with you to stay in ‘The Barrington’.

Why choose us for your next holiday?

Staying in a shepherd’s hut offers a unique and charming experience with several benefits…

🌿 Connect with nature - our three huts are located in an idyllic paddock, allowing you to immerse yourself in nature and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

🌿 Cosy and comfortable - our luxury huts are designed to be snug and comfortable, yet fully equipped so you don’t have to ‘make do’. They feature elegant interiors, wood-burning stoves, underfloor heating and cosy bedding - perfect for relaxation.

🌿 Privacy and seclusion - with only three huts, they are carefully placed so you aren’t disturbed by the neighbours. Private hot tubs on the decking with well established hedging allow you to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

🌿 Simplistic living - our facilities are definitely not minimalistic, but we encourage you to step away from the everyday. Switch off the technology and appreciate the simple pleasures, such as reading, hiking, or stargazing.

🌿 Unique experience - staying in one of our huts is very different from conventional accommodations, and a memorable experience. The perfect place for celebrating a special occasion or just giving yourself a treat.

Another perfect weekend for taking coffee on the terrace.

🌾Meet your hosts🌾

Westwell Downs is very much a team effort by the Curtis family, with the idea of a farm diversification project beginning around the farmhouse kitchen table during Covid Lockdown in 2020. Walking out the door and enjoying the 500 acre fourth generation family farm was something we all took for granted during these bizarre times, and we wanted to be able to share it with others.

Headed up by brothers Charlie and Joe, the months of planning and hardwork came to fruition when they welcomed their first guests in July 2021. Not your average luxury accommodation hosts, but 25 year old Joe combines his practical skills and passion for the family farm with 28 year old Charlie’s attention to detail and knowledge of the high end hospitality trade as a talented private chef, to offer a stay in the Cotswolds like no other.

The boys are ably assisted by mum Jo, who along with our super housekeepers Lindsey and Erika, ensure that change overs are slick, efficient and to a high standard.

They are on hand to ensure your stay is enjoyable and unforgettable from the booking process, to welcoming you at your hut on arrival through to saying good bye at check out.

Are you ready for July? Half the year has gone already, and don’t let 2024 disappear without booking your stay with us.

Our three luxury shepherd huts are the perfect place to explore the Cotswolds from, or spend a few days just unwinding and relaxing.
