Jay shepherd's hut (no pets)
Liked: We spent 2 nights in Jay's hut. The stay was absolutely magnificent. The hut was spotlessly clean and equipped with everything necessary. A nice addition was a place for a bonfire and grill. Great views, a peaceful quiet place. It was nice to relax in the large private jacuzzi. The owner was very kind. Certainly not once we will return. 🙂

Jay shepherd's hut (no pets)
Liked: Absolutely loved our stay at Ruby’s Retreats. They have thought of every detail to make the shepherds huts cosy and well equipped, with most sensational views out over the Somerset hills. We loved the little touches like the bath robes & slippers, the complimentary fizz, the fire pits with ample wood to burn and of course the hot tub - with a view like that it was hard to wrench ourselves away from the tub each evening. There is a small bathroom with spotless toilet and shower, a fridge, kettle, hob, sink and basic cooking equipment as well as crockery and glasses. Even towels and bedding are provided - you really don’t need to bring anything along apart from yourselves and some nice food to bbq. We will definitely be back, thank you Andy for a wonderful stay.

Liked: We absolutely loved our stay at ruby’s retreat. The owner was friendly and accommodating as we didn’t arrive till late on the Friday. The Shepard’s hut was gorgeous. The views from outside were amazing and just to top it off we got our own private hot tub. Would definitely recommend and will no doubt be returning.
