Even on the coldest of mornings, our huts are warm and cosy thanks to the underfloor heating and hobbit stove.

This gives us the unique advantage of being able to stay open all year round, unlike many other glamping sites.

So why not finish your year off in style and book a final getaway in December?

Where will your wellies take you?

The walking options are endless, there are farm parks to be visited, arboretums to be explored and pumpkins to be picked.

We’ve had a lot of rain recently, so best to pack your boots if you’ve got outdoors activities planned.

Straight lines on point…

We are so lucky to have the most incredible grounds team who keep the paddock looking fabulous for all our guests.

A lot of thought was put into the planting when we first started back in 2021 and it’s lovely to see all the young trees and shrubs growing into themselves.

Everything has looked particularly green this year, thanks rain, but the autumnal colours are slowly creeping in.

🌸’The Barrington’🌸 - dog friendly hut

‘The Barrington’ is decorated in a more eccentric and contemporary style, with fun and wacky vibes throughout. Great Barrington and Little Barrington are two small hamlets either side the Windrush valley two miles directly North of Westwell Downs.

Barrington Park, a Palladian manor house built by Lord Talbot in 1737, is surrounded by an eclectic mix of cottages, formally providing accommodation for the estate workers. Above the manor in isolated splendour is an 18th century folly, which although on private land, is clearly visible from the road, often complete with a magnificent herd of fallow deer.

The footpath network through woodlands full of snowdrops and bluebells, and along the river Windrush, are a paradise for the casual walker or serious hiker, with some of the best views in the Cotswolds.

This is our dog friendly hut, so it is often our most popular.

For the best prices, head on over to our website to make a booking.

What are the bathrooms like?

We may be biased, but we think they are pretty excellent given the space a Shepherd Hut has.

🫧 Flushing toilet
🫧 Walk in shower with hot water
🫧 Delicious 100 Acres shampoo, conditioner and body wash
🫧 Copper sink and vanity unit

Just because summer is on the way out, it doesn’t mean the holiday season is over!

Situated in the heart of the Cotswolds, our huts are open all year round - apart from a couple of days over Christmas so our team can enjoy a bit of down time.

They are warm and toasty thanks to the wood burners and underfloor heating, and the area has so much to offer in the Autumn.

Pumpkin patches, maize mazes, arboretums full of colour, and roaring pub fires.

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’.

From £120 per night.

Visit our website www.westwelldowns.com for more details or to book.

When the light catches the huts in all the right places…

Fingers crossed there is still a bit of autumnal sunshine to be had before the clocks change.

Rain rain - go away! It’s safe to say we’ve seen record amounts of rain over the last week. Although our huts are warm, dry and cosy - it’s going to be a long winter if it stays this wet. A timely reminder how excellent our rain chains are - don’t they do a great job? Bonus points that they don’t fill with moss and leaves! NB: an old video right at the very beginning of our journey - notice the lack of plants and vegetation around the huts!
