Shepherds hut vacation rentals in South Somerset District

I have so many great things to say, so to keep it short I'll bullet point. - Great location/community - Private - Friendly and responsive hosts - Clear instructions and tour - Clean and comfortable - Felt very welcomed - Also a bonus of a cat that sounds like a sheep :) Planning to go again, later this year. Would highly recommend

We didn't want to return home as we had had the perfect stay. This lovely little shepherd's hut surrounded by beautiful farmlands, was just what we'd hoped for and it didn't disappoint! Our hosts Peter and Rachel, were very responsive to our needs, although, gave us our privacy and let us explore the surrounding areas. The hut had lots of little touches to it that made it feel homely and cute, although, functional and great use of a small space. We were pleasantly surprised to find that the hut had heating, wifi and a range of options on the tv after a tiring day of adventures! Excellent stay, would absolutely return, thank you! Emily & Andy.

The shepherds hut is a wonderful retreat into a peaceful and very relaxing world where you can take life at your own pace. This beautiful and secluded setting gives you the chance to be free. We spent many relaxing mornings and contemplative evenings relaxing in the garden both in and out of the hot tub, laying in the hammocks or just sitting on the recliners. The bed was super cosy and comfortable and with hidden storage under, bags and cases can be tucked away and we never felt cramped. Well equipped with a clever oven which is also a microwave we were happy to cook meals inside. As it was warm for April we also made use of the BBQ which had all tools provided. Fiona is a wonderful host who makes super cookies 😊 and provided a warm welcome. There if you need her but never intrusive.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay on New Year’s Eve and was welcomed with a glass of wine and nibbles. Lovely cosy place to stay with a 10 month old baby and a dog. Pub is 10 min walk and lovely surroundings for dog walks. Will definitely return again and the bad weather didn’t dampen our stay.

We really enjoyed our stay here! Our dogs absolutely loved the space and it was perfect for them to really stretch their legs. The cabin was super cozy, we stayed during a bit of a temperature drop so it was around -3 at night but the log burner was so warm we didn't even need a jumper on! Along with the temperature drop came some snow and we actually ended up getting stuck on the hill on toward the entrance but Mark answered his phone immediately and rushed down in his Land Rover to give us a tow up and nothing was too much to ask, we felt super accommodated. Thanks again :)

Very good place. Clean and tidy. Friendly staff

Thankfully we bumped into Sally’s neighbour who walked us to the site. ( we ended up becoming friends with them!) The accommodation wasn’t very clean, but it was well stacked with everything we needed and more. Beds and pillows were terrifically comfortable. Bath was heaven, evenings and mornings were paradise. Loved eating al fresco and the site contained everything to make us relax. A special thanks for bread, REAL coffee! Eggs, butter and milk! We loved it and would love to return. Just more attention required to housekeeping!

Perfect, thank you

The cabin was exactly how it was shown in pictures, clean, tidy and great location. Alison and Bear were good hosts and we would recommend. Thanks for having us

My partner and I were desperate to have a relaxing place to stay to get away from our busy work lives and this was the perfect place. Tucked out the way and very private surrounded with beautiful scenery and next to no noise. We loved that it was walking distance to the pub where we enjoyed lunch. The hot tub was a bonus. It had everything we needed. Excellent little shepherds hut, highly recommend. Thank you!

Had a lovely stay. nice walk to the pub. Hot tub was lovely. would definitely come back in the summer.

We recently stayed at Andreas Shepherd's Hut in Cruxton, and it was a delightful experience. Nestled in a serene rural setting, the hut offers an idyllic escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The accommodation was charmingly rustic yet comfortably modern and the interior was well-appointed with thoughtful touches that made it feel cosy and welcoming. The bed was really comfortable and the small kitchenette was equipped with everything needed for a self-catering stay which we made the most of both mornings and evenings. The hut's location was perfect. Surrounded by apple trees and rolling hills, it's ideal for leisurely walks, relaxing outside with the fire pit or enjoying the private space alongside the river. The lack of light pollution in the area allowed us to view the Milky Way when stargazing one evening which was the perfect addition to our stay. Andrea was super accommodating, ensuring that everything was in order and even dropped off a homemade Dorset apple cake!

Great place for a retreat, well tucked away great views of the countryside and Bristol in the distance. A welcome pack of Bread, butter, home made cake, bacon eggs and sausages. The hot tub was fantastic. Park and ride to bath 5 min. Can’t recommend it enough great felt so chilled out staying here.

We spent a fabulous two nights at "Lucy ". The hot tub was great, we were lucky to have one clear night to star gaze. The area is fantastic with the York Inn a short walk away with lovely food. the hut had everything we needed, super cosy . We nearly finished the jigsaw!

We had a lovely couple of nights in Herdwick hut at Laverstock farm. The farm is gorgeous and we enjoyed walking around it seeing the animals, particularly the pygmy goats, and even had a couple of games of table tennis in the games room. The area around the hut is very private and peaceful, although you could hear some chatter from the cottages above at times. The hut itself is really pretty and cosy and we loved being greeted by the cows in the adjacent field. The separate kitchen was well equipped and we enjoyed evenings by the fire pit, with the added bonus of marshmallows left by the host! One thing to mention is that the shared washroom is a walk away, up by the cottages, but it was clean and offered products and towels. A relaxing and lovely stay.

This little Easter break was perfect for myself, my 4yr old and our dog, and exactly what it says in the tin ‘Simple and Serene’ the views are stunning and we went to 4 different beaches in the space of a couple of days! Nicola was so accommodating, from a flexible check in time to letting my daughter borrow colouring pens! I would 100% recommend and will book again in the future. Thank you so much x

Incredible spot! Really enjoyed our time here, very peaceful and lovely surroundings. Hot tub was exceptional, Clive was very helpful and attentive. Would recommend for any couple looking for time away in the countryside.

A wonderful stay. Mike and Anna are the perfect hosts, I cannot fault their communication and help with settling us in. The accommodation is peaceful and serene with a stylish mix of old and new. We had a truly lovely stay, thank you x (Minor note, the track to access the property is narrow, steep and bumpy. Would suggest a 4x4. A lowered car may struggle. Hope that’s helpful and certainly not a criticism.)

Beautiful rural getaway!! Chloe was so helpful with making sure the hot tub was ready for the evenings, the shepherds hut was a perfect escape for us as a couple, with beautiful views, privacy and a very cute lodging with everything we needed. The furnishings and details in the shepherds hut were so lovely and made a very small space feel like a cosy home. Super easy to find and enjoyed a couple of nice walks in the area. Will book again!

This was probably one of the best Airbnb's we've stayed in, the photos don't do it justice! The place was spotless and had everything you could need. Lots of local taxis available to take you into Wells (10 mins max) where there are plenty of lovely pubs & restaurants. The hot tub was amazing, very easy to use and the hut was much bigger than we expected! Lou was an incredible host, so welcoming and hospitable, always replying super quickly to any questions and very clear instructions. If you are looking for a rural, peaceful, fun get away, we couldn't recommend this enough!

Outstanding Stay at Valley View Hut Our stay at the Valley View Hut was absolutely outstanding. The setting was wonderfully private and peaceful, making it the perfect escape. Andrew has created a beautiful space that’s both charming and well-equipped with everything you might need. The outdoor bathtub was a real highlight—it truly topped off the whole experience. We also loved the fresh eggs and the adorable chickens wandering around; it added such a lovely touch. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing retreat.

A delightful place to stay, peaceful and cozy, with all we needed and more. the hot tub was wonderful and so easy to light with as much wood as we needed. making pizza was fun and tasty. it was all so clean and tidy, just ready for us to enjoy. Thank you ❣️

such a wonderful place. The hut is set in beautiful surroundings and is great for a more rustic glamping experience. we spent both evenings by the fire pit just enjoying our experience when wild deer came right up to us. it was an amazing and magical time

We had a wonderful stay at Angela’s. A luxurious and romantic cabin with everything we could’ve needed. ‘Holly’ has a super comfy bed and we loved the wood fired hot tub, log burner and wildlife on the doorstep. Watching the stars at night from the hot tub was magical! We would definitely come again and recommend to our friends. Angela was really helpful and friendly and she has done a fab job with the cabin and fitting everything in to the space in a clever and stylish way. Thank you for an amazing and memorable weekend.
