Shepherds hut vacation rentals in West 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

Absolutely incredible place. Very peaceful and scenic and provided with everything we could have needed. Wonderful hosts, would love to stay again.

We really enjoyed our stay. The hut has beautiful surroundings which we enjoyed from the hot tub. We walked to a cafe and then drove into the local town and went to a really nice pub. The hut was clean and had everything we needed. Thanks Fiona 😊

Last minute Valentine get away with our two dogs. Despite pretty grim weather, you couldn't have wished to be anywhere cosier. Surprisingly spacious and everything you could think of, provided for a weekend away. Basic breakfast foods provided and of course Juliet's famous delicious short bread and doggie welcome treats.Private garden space adjoining a wood and secure field. Dogs roamed and played freely and safety. Bring lots of dog towels if you expect rain. Lovely shower in the cabin. Very well designed compost in a separate cabin. We kept close for dog exercise but there seems plenty of options for walking.. especially to pub...It's between 40 to 50 minute walk away. So many birds. We would love to see a bird table next time we come!! Thank you so much Juliet. We are recharged and well rested. Delightful piece of Devon Heaven. Warm wishes Belinda &Stav. Lana and John Boy xxx

We had such a lovely stay in the Shepherd's hut! so peaceful! The outside bath was a real treat as well as the yummy fruitcake waiting for us when we arrived. Bed was super comfy. We were sad to leave. Thank you Be and Richard.

We had a great stay, was relaxing and a great location for walks, sightseeing etc. Mandy and Andy both very friendly and helpful. Would recommend booking ahead for any local pubs/restaurants as they are few and far between within a 10-20 min drive and busy at weekends/peak times, also bring a 12v charger for charging within the hut otherwise there are 3 point plugs 100m across the yard which can be used.

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!

As a family with 2 young children and a dog, we wanted something for everyone. During the day we went for walks in the surrounding fields, we had BBQs and enjoyed the Hot Tub while gazing at the stars at night. We also enjoyed the peace and quiet and felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. Thanks Gill, we'll definitely be back again!

We had a beautiful stay at the pleasant pheasant, perfect from start to Finnish. The surroundings are spectacular and way exceeded our expectations. Allison and Bear were very helpful and welcoming and then left us to our stay. Highly recommend if you are looking for a little respite and relaxation. The hot tub was divine and the hut was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. Thanks for having us xx

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!

A great place to stay and explore Dartmoor. The views from the hut are amazing and the hut itself is a fun experience. Simon is a delightful host and always quick to help out - Thanks for a fantastic stay!

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!

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.

The Shepherds hut was SUCH high quality inside and the bed was wonderfully comfortable. There was much more space than we imagined and our 2 dogs were very comfortable too. The weather was cold but the hut has radiators and a woody burning stove, so was lovely and warm. The hut has its own private garden with fabulous views. Our hosts were so welcoming and had lots of recommendations for places to go/eat in the local area. Really recommend this place.

Lovely peaceful setting. Great view. Walks straight from the hut. Hot tub was great after a long walk. Loved meeting the goats. Clive was a great host. The app had all the info you would need and was especially helpful when arriving as it contained photos of exactly where you were going which was very helpful as the hut is tucked away down a lovely track access that you would be nervous was the correct one if you didn’t have the directions. Great stay would love to return.

I had the best few days at Sallys shepherds hut. It was exactly as described (in fact, probably more roomy than I thought it would be!) Paddy showed me around when I arrived and I could contact them both if I needed anything. The hut had all the essentials that I needed and being able to park right next to it was really helpful. A few days away for some peace and quiet was just what I was after and it absolutely delivered. My spaniel loved the field to run around in too, just opening the door in the morning to let him run outside was nice. The weather wasn’t the best (very rainy) but to come back and light the fire to warm up was great and the hut holds heat well, I wasn’t cold at all. I wouldn’t hesitate to go back and I’d highly recommend it. Perfect location for hikes, getting to the beach and some lovely pubs in the village for dinner. The copper kettle is great for breakfast too! I didn’t want to leave! Thanks again Sally and Paddy for everything.

We had the most perfect stay in the beautiful shepherd's hut, surrounded by stunning scenery. Chloe is such a lovely and kind host, and her thoughtful touch with the breakfast hamper was greatly appreciated. My partner, Amy, and I had an unforgettable time on our very first getaway together as a couple. The hot tub was an absolute highlight, and we loved cozying up around the fire pit. This is the ideal romantic retreat, offering all the luxuries of the countryside. We can't thank Chloe enough for such an incredible experience, and we’ll definitely be back! Highly recommended for anyone seeking a peaceful and romantic escape. Steve and Amy

Wow what a special place. Dreamy hot tub and outdoor fire. The hut is decorated like a luxury hotel, lots of small special touches - fire wood to make a fire; board games to play, bath robes and slippers. We had the truly magical two nights away - perfect for some romantic time. We nipped into Wells on Saturday for the market (bus/car less than 10 mins) picked up lots of treats then enjoyed a lazy Saturday evening back at the hut under the stars. Lou was fantastic host, she helped set up the hut for my girlfriend’s birthday before we arrived which was incredibly kind and much appreciated.

I had such a lovely stay at Andrew’s place! The setting is peaceful and secluded, offering total privacy while still feeling completely safe—I’d have no hesitation staying here alone as a woman. The free-roaming chickens were such a charming touch, and the views of the countryside were even more stunning than the photos suggest. Inside, the space had everything I needed, including thoughtful extras like board games that made the evening feel extra cozy. Andrew also provided extensive instructions that made check-in and getting settled a breeze, and he was incredibly quick to respond to any questions. I only stayed for one night, but I wish I could have stayed longer! One small note (not a complaint!) is that there weren’t any outlets, so I couldn’t dry my hair, but Andrew provides a portable charger, which was really helpful. Overall, an amazing stay, and I’d absolutely come back. Highly recommend!

Clare and Luca have created a unique space to unwind in nature. It’s private with plenty of space to enjoy inside and out. It was a special treat having a wood-fired hot tub and pizza oven and all the little details made everything extra enjoyable.

Thank you for a great stay! it is definitely the best stay we have had. It is the perfect set for a gateway to enjoy the birds signing, walks, wood burner with board games & bbq etc. everything you need is provided and it is the most relaxing place, out the way, super private. its exactly like having your own forest. can't wait to go again.

Gorgeous stay at the Shepards Hut, the hut is beautifully decorated and has everything you need for the space! We loved the hot tub and were provided with enough wood to keep it warm all evening. Absolutely gorgeous location, super peaceful, the perfect getaway for our anniversary!
