Summary: The shepherd's hut was perfect in every respect. It provided us with excellent accommodation, and the gas effect wood burner was great for keeping the temperature just right. Super setting with lovely views and great walks nearby including a nice 20 minute cross fields walk to the pub. There are also plenty of places to visit within short driving distances.

Summary: Had a great time during our stay in the Cotswolds. The Shepherds hut was super cosy , great facilities and location, friendly and helpful staff and fantastic secure garden for the dog . The manager let us look at one of the other properties that would be a great place should we return with friends in the future .

Summary: This was my 3rd time staying at Aurora and it was just as enjoyable as ever. My parents stayed in Honey Cottage this time around which is also a lovely property on Camden Farm. I arrived on my birthday, and between my Mum and Caroline they arranged a lovely welcome 'birthday' surprise; a beautiful bouquet of flowers and lots of sweets treats!! I always feel safe staying at Camden Farm and always look forward to returning. The location is ideal; secluded enough to be peaceful but also close enough to the town if you just need to pop and get something quickly from the supermarket or grabbing a takeaway. But also for day trips, it's pretty central that most places are between 40mins-1hr away within the Cotswolds. Look forward to my next visit!!

Summary: The shepherd’s hut exceeded expectations. Lovely accommodation and the little ‘gifts’ of biscuits, muffins and wine were appreciated. Lots of lovely walks on the doorstep including one to the local pub and a great base for exploring Oxfordshire.

Summary: We were a group staying in Folly view and we also booked the shepherds hut that is alongside as it gave us a bit more additional space. Very cute and cosy cabin!

Summary: Excellently situated to explore the Cotswolds with everything you need and very nice welcome package. Bed quirky and very comfortable if a little awkward to get onto for elderly person with knees! Lovely views and super secure field for dog. Sorry it wasn’t cold enough to take advantage of log burner.
