About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

A one bedroom self catering property in an idyllic valley setting.

The Shed is situated in the most beautiful valley with far reaching views. Good for walks, and relaxing. Wotton-under-Edge, Dursley and Tetbury all within a short driving distance. Lots of wonderful wildlife and farm animals nearby. The property consists of a sitting room, bathroom with over head shower over the bath, a small kitchen and a double bedroom. It is very cosy.

Please note The New Inn pub has now closed.

* Please note that access into the valley is on narrow lanes. The road is un even and so you will need to drive very slowly if in a low car. Our drive is also uneven so please drive slowly. You need to be made aware of these things before booking. Incidentally this is what makes The Shed so unique, is it's ruralness!

It is also important you follow the directions I send you as you need to avoid the "whiteway" road into the valley. *

We request that our guests strip the bed at the end of their stay and place sheets and towels in the basket provided, and make sure all their washing up has been washed in hot soapy water. All these things will keep us all safe.

Perfect spot in glorious country-side

A great base for taking in the surrounding area. The Shed has everything you need and is beautifully and comfortably decorated. A highlight was the walk to the Tyndall Monument and climbing to the top...the views were amazing

Shed Heaven

Gorgeous place, in the most tranquil spot imaginable. It's truly beautiful. Antonia is a fantastic host - The property is immaculate! It's perfect for a couple, and despite it's somewhat "off the beaten track" location, it's within short driving distances of towns and local attractions. We're looking forward to heading back there soon

A lovely shed in an idyllic location

Probably the nicest shed we'll ever stay in! Set in a gorgeous valley and very peaceful, we loved this place and although we only stayed one night, we felt very relaxed and like we'd been on a retreat the next day! There was plenty of tea and some home-made cake waiting for us upon arrival too, which was very welcome. Definitely recommend and we hope to stay again sometime! Thanks Antonia!

Great "Getaway" spot. Peace & quiet. Very sweet & nicely presented. Some interesting lanes to get in & out but contributed to the feeling of getting away from the rat race. Hosts very accommodating.

Staying with a dog

Lovely property but no fenced area for a dog. Difficult to be able to have glass doors open ( necessary in the heat) and keep dog in. Otherwise ideal

Fabulous staycation

We thoroughly enjoyed our staycation at the shed and couldn’t of wished for more. For anyone wishing to book an idyllic break away then this is the place to stay. The accommodation is even better than it looks in the photos with breathtaking scenery. Fantastic walks all within walking distance of the shed. The New Inn was a fantastic local pub to visit, 10 minute walk from the shed. Antonia and her family are lovely, warm and genuine who go the extra mile to ensure your stay is comfortable and memorable. We look forward to returning in the nearing future. If you have the chance to meet Marmite, Crumpet (dogs) and their sheep you will not be disappointed because they are all lovely and so friendly.

Set in an amazing valley

The Shed was all we asked for it is clean, tidy, the bed is comfy and it was so relaxing just the sounds of nature (birds,sheep) It has amazing sunsets and lovely views. The location is ideal to either stay in with lovely walks on the door step in the surrounding area or go a bit further to explore this gorgeous Cotswold area. It is very dog friendly our two dogs loved playing outside the Shed. The host (Antonia) was very helpful not only with directions which were spot on but was not intrusive but helpful with suggestions. A nice welcome pack on arrival. All in all a great relaxing time spent here would definitely come again. B & K. Poole

Perfect Getaway!

Joe and I had a wonderful stay at The Shed. The space and size were perfect and exactly what we were looking for in a English countryside cottage stay. The bed was comfortable. We spent plenty of time in the cozy living room reading and relaxing. The kitchen was serviceable. The heaters took a bit of time to get going but they put out plenty of heat to keep the space warm. My husband was working at times and if we were both using the internet it was a little slow. Not a huge issue for me as I was happy to spend plenty of time sleeping in and reading books and magazines. If you’re truly looking to disconnect from the world the internet shouldn’t be much of an issue! The bathroom was a good size, and it was nice to have the towel warmer. The shower head wasn’t great for washing hair, it sprayed about a bit. Overall, a lovely place to stay and we would come back if we ever got the chance. It’s beautiful at the property and the surrounding area, so peaceful and quiet. I adored saying hello to Florence and Primrose and the neighboring cows even made an appearance which was great. We would recommend staying at The Shed!

If you want to take a rest

Mooi vakantiehuisje. Eigenaresse zorgt er voor dat je een goed verblijf hebt. Heel rustig gelegen op het platteland. De weg naar het huisje is smal. Eenbaansweg. Als er een tegenligger aan komt moet je achteruit kunnen rijden. Met een wat avontuurlijke instelling voldoet het huis prima aan de verwachting .

A country delight!

It was one of the most breath taking country places to stay. To wake up and see this amazing view, so quiet and peaceful. We stayed for 3 nights and and ate breakfast and evening meals there as we wanted to make the most of the tranquil experience. A little tricky navigating the tiny roads at times but all part of the fun. The Shed is a lovely cost place to stay.

Spectacular location

Questionable road quality leads you to a spectacular location. Property looks tired in places with paint flaking, window painted closed and stained toilet bowl along with black grout in places on the tiles around the bath. The kitchen mixer tap is not secure and has a taped note on the wall by way of apology for this. The microwave is on top of a small counter top fridge and was a bit daunting to use (we are not very tall). The fridge is shown in the booking pics but we didn't notice how small the fridge was. Normally we would have a full week of shopping delivered to where we are staying but changed our minds last minute thankfully. The host Antonia was lovely and welcoming on arrival and very quickly resolved an issue with the bottom sheet on the bed our first night which, Antonia assured us, was caused by her new steam iron.The replacement bedding was crisp and clean having just been bought the day after and put through the washing machine and ironed. The lounge was very comfortable and was welcoming after a days out at The Forrest of Dean and Badminton Horse Trials. We witnessed some breath taking sunsets in the valley of Waterley Bottom where the property is located.

A perfect place to get away.

My overall experience from initial booking to leaving was 5 star. The communication with Antonia was brilliant as was a welcome pack with bread, milk, butter and jam plus cake! The property was lovely and spacious with everything you need. It was wonderful just being able to relax in secluded countryside with wildlife around. There were deer spotted several times plus so many birds. The farm animals cattle and sheep in adjacent fields too. There are plenty of public footways to explore nearby and some pubs. (Although one was shut) I didn't drive whilst there but there are plenty of places to visit if walking is not for you. I really hope to return to this place as it surpassed all my expectations.
