Outbak is a delightful shepherd’s hut in a peaceful, rural spot where you can escape from the world. Surrounded by fields of green and the occasional whistle of the steam train as it passes by, this is a cosy, country retreat just for two. After a day exploring, relax weary bones in the wood-fired hot tub, and marvel at the brilliant night skies above. With the medieval market town of Winchcombe in one direction, the pretty village of Broadway in the other and the Cotswold Way footpath on your doorstep, Outbak is perfectly placed for exploring the beautiful Cotswolds.

A lovely stay in a beautiful location. David was so welcoming and friendly. He has done an absolutely fabulous job of the Shepherds Hut and the hot tub was just divine. Would love to return in the summer because I can imagine the exclusive decking being a right little sun trap. The bed was so comfy and the duvet was cosy and kept us warm. Stayed in many Shepherds Huts before and this is by far one of the most luxurious ones.

This is the second year we have stayed here and yet again had a fabulous stay. The shepherds hut is in a beautiful location with the steam train virtually at the bottom of the garden. It is beautifully maintained and the hot tub is to die for. Beautiful and quiet location convenient for many of the local attractions. David, the owner, was extremely helpful but very respectful of our privacy. His local knowledge was invaluable. 10/10 will definitely stay again.

This little shepherds hut is a perfect escape to the Cotswolds. It was clear, well kept, with everything you could need. The hot tub and the view is excellent and made it a delight to come back to every night. The village is quaint and peaceful, with excellent historic churches to visit. The host went above and beyond to accommodate us and make sure we enjoyed our stay to the fullest.

Thank you for having us, we recommend this location very highly and hope to be back!





An amazing Cotswolds getaway!

We loved everything about our stay and can’t recommend it enough! The cabin was perfect - cosy, beautiful and well-equipped. The hot tub was an excellent addition and well worth braving the cold for. The location was also great, very peaceful surroundings and easy to get to many of the well known Cotswolds villages. The experience was made all the better by David who was the perfect host! Kind, welcoming and helpful throughout the duration of our stay. We will definitely be back!

The best accommodation we ever had. Lovingly and tastefully furnished. With a beautiful landscape around, a BBQ, the marvelous hot tub and steam locomotives passing by, the hut is the perfect place for taking a break from daily life. And not to forget the owner, always charming and happy to help.

David the host was there to great us, familiarised us with how to use the hot tub and told us about the local area.

The shephards hut was clean and incredibly comfortable, the king-size bed was a perk, and the TV perfectly placed for resting after a long day. The hot tub was glorious, a 4 seater so incredibly spacious. The hut had everything you needed, including bathrobes and towels for both showering and the hot tub.

The local area was lovely, with some gentle walks surrounding. It was very peaceful and could see a full sky of stats at night. Seeing the occasional steam train go past was cool too!

Would definitely come again!

The location of the property was very good and easy to find. The layout was compact and bijou and had everything needed for the weekend. The hot tub was a great way to relax after a day walking and the bbq worked a treat. It was within easy walking distance of Hayles Farm Shop and cafe which is well worth a visit.
Overall a great place to stay and would highly recommend it. Thanks

We needed a break and a break is what we got! Perfect location, views and place. Hut is furnished to a high spec, attention to detail is fabulous with everything you could possibly need. BBQ and hot tub were an added bonus and appreciated, even the weather stayed lovely.
Definitely recommend Outback, perfect for a relaxing break.

Well maintained hut in beautiful location. All facilities exactly as required. Friendly owner David explained all we needed to know on arrival. Hot tub was fantastic once we got to grips with lighting and maintaining the fire. Wished we could have stayed longer.
