  A HOME from HOME in MORTON Straight to the point.

  A wonderful experience. I am looking forward to staying at Mitford Gypsy Hut again. ARRIVAL By train, then a short walk to the Shepherd's Hut, easy to find / visible from main road. FIRST IMPRESSION Easy and safe access up a couple of steps with an adjacent handrail. Also a battery powered light to use if it happens to be dark INTERIOR Absolutely immaculately fitted out. As Shepherd's Huts go, Mitford Gypsy Hut is luxurious and spacious. KITCHEN and FOOD PREP AREA Really well designed. It worked exceptionally well for me. BATHROOM Compact and really well designed and fitted out. Shower, wash basin, WC, a delightful mirrored cabinet, and a heated towel rail ( I was there during Storm Darragh and was kitted out for horizontal rain. I was able to dry my ouside clothes no problem xxx) LOG BURNER Easy to use and quickly heated up the Hut. I recommend using it if it's cold or wet outside and particularly if it's both! THE BED It was just so comfy and toasty warm. I actually slept better than I do at home. In summary it was a real test to be staying in a Shepherd's Hut in the middle of a storm in December. I'm age 76 so have moderate mobility issues and like home comforts. My stay was for 5 nights and I would have been happy to stay much longer.

  DIRECTIONS: Were very confusing and ittooks a great deal of time to find the property and was grateful it was not raining or that we did not arrive ve in the dark.

  At one point we thought we were going to have to book into a hotel! "Following the lane to the village sign for Hankerton on the left IN THE DISTANCE', Little Moreton is on the right". Your description under TRAVELLING TO THE PROPERTY. The actually description is: Travelling along Murcott Lane, about 50 yds BEFORE reaching the Hankerton sign on the left, Little Mortons is on the right. You do not actually travel into Hankerton village, which is very confusing. Disappointed your instructions are incorrect. The property was very clean, a food package was amazing with many useful products and cleaning equipment. The owner was extremely helpful and nothing was too much trouble his advice whenever we required this. Unfortunately, the one negative for us, was there wasn't a wardrobe, only 6 pegs in the apartment for us to hang our clothes and there were no drawers in which to put our tee shirts, underwear etc.

  The Lodge was excellent.

  Had everything we needed with little luxuries included. Sitting outside listening to bird songs was a highlight. A great location, quiet, peaceful, private with uninterrupted views across fields and countryside. Easy driving along virtually empty roads visiting villages and Manor houses in North Wiltshire and South Gloucestershire. The caretakers could not have been more helpful. Our only gripe was with 2 Sykes employees, we had a problem finding the property and they were incapable of map reading until a senior employee phoned us back and directed us.

  Absolute "Gem" set with stunning views across open fields.

  ..quiet bliss....Great place to stay for a long wkend location offers short drive to many highly recommend pubs which serve excellent food beers and wines especially Potting Shed or Rectory Hotel where you can go for pre-dinner cocktails as Potting Shed is it's Sister. Highly recommend Horse & Groom. Close to market town of Tetbury and Cirencester along with Malmesbury. Superb walks from The Lodge. Highly recommended a stay can't wait to go back for another long wkend.

  The Lodge is exactly as you see on the website.

  Comfortable enough for two and everywhere was clean. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would certainly consider coming back. I would say that as far as we could see there is only room for one car. Whilst we are not heavy internet users, wifi is handy when planning your days/bookings etc. and here the wifi signal was poor dropping out at times. Not a deal breaker for us but to be borne in mind. PS plenty of birds around and we did see bats in the evening.
