Oxton Hill Hideaway

Two ensuite shepherd's huts on an 80-acre equine farm outside Southwell, designed entirely for adults who want quiet, a log burner, and room to think.

Oxton Hill Hideaway sits on a working equine farm on the crest of Oxton Hill, 2.5 miles from the historic market town of Southwell. There are just two huts: Paddock View looks out over the horse paddocks with wide-open views across the Nottinghamshire countryside, while Pond View is tucked among tall trees beside a garden pond. You pick the outlook you want.

Both huts are fully furnished and ensuite, with a log burner at the heart of each. Guests report the interiors as clean and genuinely cosy, with a comfortable bed and a warm shower. The on-site kitchen covers the basics; bring your own food and plan to cook simply. Outside space is private and generous, the kind you can sit in all morning without feeling watched.

The farm's bridle paths and footpaths connect directly to surrounding tracks and nearby villages, making this a natural base for walking, mountain biking, or arriving with a horse of your own. The Bridge pub is within reach, and Southwell Minster and the lanes around Thurgarton and Epperstone fill a half-day easily. Sherwood Forest and the River Trent are broader day-trip territory.

Before you book

  • Dogs may encounter fireworks or weekend shooting from surrounding fields, so may not suit very noise-sensitive animals.
A genuinely small-scale, owner-run escape on a real working farm, where the count of two huts is a feature rather than a limitation.

Why it made the cut

  • Only two huts on 80 acres of working equine farm, seclusion is structural, not marketed
  • Paddock View and Pond View offer meaningfully different outlooks, letting guests choose their setting
  • Bridle paths from the farm connect to wider countryside and nearby villages without needing a car
  • Southwell Minster and Sherwood Forest are within easy range for those who want to leave the hill
