About the site

Enjoy a relaxing glamping getaway on a 270 acre farm. The site is home to just two adult only (22+) shepherd's huts, with a handy bus stop just a five minute walk away with services to Thame and Oxford. Kites Nest Shepherd's Hut is discreetly set in the sloping rural landscape. Totally self contained, heated and insulated it provides a wonderful glamping experience for two. Cooking is simple, with a fully functional and well equipped kitchen. Outside is a private wood fired hot tub. Weather permitting, you have the choice of eating in or outside. A lawned area has a table and chairs and is perfect for outside eating and relaxing. The chiminea and supply of logs takes the edge off any fresh nights, offering an opportunity to sit under the stars and gaze! The Roost shepherd's hut is identical to Kites Nest, the only difference being that the hob is gas instead of electric and the bed is fixed. The huts are extremely private and you can't see them at all from each other. Just minutes from junctions 7 and 8 of the M40, it is extremely well suited to anyone wishing to get away for that idyllic, tranquil break - be it for a short stay or longer. Private parking is available near to the accommodation.

Abbey Farm is open all year round in 2026 and 2027. Stay from £140/night for 2 people (2-night minimum).

A note from the site themselves...

We made the move to the farm back in 2009. During our time here, we have slowly reverted half the farm back to grass and have entered a large proportion of our land into environmental schemes. We really wanted to promote ground-nesting birds such as Curlew and Skylark by having a lot of low-input grassland.

As an estimate, we have planted around 12,000 trees and over 3km of hedging. We have fenced off our livestock from the watercourses to protect the river banks and we don't use sprays or fertiliser to these environmentally diverse areas. During your stay here, you might spot wildlife such as barn owls, kingfishers, otters, deer and more!

We look forward to welcoming all of our guests and hope to see you soon, Georgina

Things to do on site and in the Thame area

Abbey Farm offers a very peaceful, restful experience, where you can enjoy the hut and idyllic surroundings.

A footpath a few hundred yards away, meanders out towards the Oxfordshire Golf Club and beyond, linking the local village of Moreton with Thame. Within Thame are many fine pubs, with a very good reputation for food and supporting local breweries.

Walks away from the hut in the opposite direction, through the farm, run along the River Thame, with an opportunity for for guests to fish if they so choose. The village of Shabbington is within a mile, where the Old Fisherman Pub can be found.

A cycle route at the farm entrance, links the farm with Thame and onto the Phoenix Trail, a disused railway, linking the town to Princes Risborough. The route passes through villages and towns with the opportunity to duck off and sightsee at your leisure.

A bus stop is only a few hundred yards from the farm entrance, regularly going to Thame, Aylesbury, Oxford or Haddenham, which has railway links to Midlands and London.

By car, local attractions include the nearby Chiltern Hills, Chiltern Open Air Museum, The Cotswolds, Blenheim Palace, Waddesdon Manor, Le Manoirs Aux Quat Season and Oxford, to name but a few. Most of these are within a 30-40 minute drive or less.
