ABOUT US

Cotswild was born in the heart of the Cotswolds near Burford. Having done a huge amount of research over the years we have designed our very own style of cabins.

The architects Lucia and Henry along with, designer and owner Ed created spaces that could be lived in or used very comfortably over the seasons.

Our vision for the interiors of the Cotswild cabins was to achieve maximum space and light whilst being simple to maintain. We are looking to utilise more floor and ceiling space than a shepherds hut can offer.
The Cotswild exteriors look modern and should sit perfectly within any landscape using a mixture of timber and steel cladding and glass.

We have unique flourishes of detail in fabric ceilings and feature walls.

Cotswild works hard to source local and sustainable materials whilst making the huts super insulated with low energy costs. We work all hours in our barn and always have a cabin ready to show you.

Please call or visit as we always enjoy a good chat about your own ideas.

Testimonials

I love my Cotswild cabin! It's beautifully made and fits right into our garden. It looks and feels strong & robust, whilst giving a sense of lightness and spaciousness.  I use mine as a workout space and Pilates studio - it is a dream come true! Delivery and installation was easy and very exciting!  I'd 100% recommend a Cotswild cabin to anyone.

The cabin we had made with Ed and his team has been a most brilliant den for our children and us at times. It is moved around the farm over the seasons to make the most of the views. We are hoping Cotswild can build us another bigger one soon. Thank you Ed and team we are delighted we found you.

We had been looking for a garden building for over a year and finally discovered Cotswild. The cabin is beautifully made with a combination of reclaimed and UK wood and has a lovely feel to it inside and out. The team bent over backwards to give us exactly what we wanted and now we have the perfect modern shepherd’s hut in our garden. We always receive lovely compliments on it and it has made a huge difference to both the garden and our work having such a lovely space at last.

I am so delighted with my Cotswild Cabin.  I use it for my breath work workspace and it could not be more perfect.  Ed and his team have created a beautiful space using high quality materials.  Ed and his team put a huge amount of time and effort into what I needed and the attention to detail is outstanding.  Very happy customer (and wife!).

It was with some trepidation that we decided to go out into the market for an ‘off the shelf’ cabin to add to our luxury glamping operation in North Shropshire however after much research I happened upon Cotswild Cabins and never looked back.  Ed Shepherd was brilliant to work with: he provided the good humour, energy, knowledge and professionalism which helped us achieve the truly bespoke, beautifully detailed offering we had envisaged for our guests. He was able to guide us through the best options for construction and fit out to optimise both energy and space efficiency and was totally transparent and communicative throughout the whole process - what you end up with is certainly not ‘off the shelf'.  I could not recommend highly enough.

My Cotswild cabin is an absolute triumph! I love it. Right from the very first conversation we had, Ed listened to all my requests, ideas and concerns. He was incredibly patient every time I changed my mind and came up with explanations and solutions for all the problems. The cabin is in a very remote spot and there were technical issues involved which Ed and his team took in their stride having spent much time looking at all the options that were available and possible. Everything was explained clearly and all the quotes were completely transparent. I cannot recommend Cotswild highly enough. I have gone from a very basic bed-in-a-shed with no facilities to a beautiful fully functioning five star apartment on wheels!

Catherine Edgington

The Cotswild huts are entirely bespoke and architect designed - this for us clinched it! We initially chose an awkward space for our hut and needed Ed and the team to design something clever to fit it. We can’t speak highly enough of Ed and Simon - true creatives and masters of their craft. The result is showstopping - cosy, practical and beyond what we’d imagined. Highly recommend!
