A perfect little gem.
Shepherd's hut
Liked Found this little last minute gem for summer solstice.
Greeted by Anne and a delightful cream tea.
Had to call about a small issue, but was quickly resolved and nothing was to much of a problem.
Everything you need is in the kitchen, the bed is comfortable, there is plenty of hot water and dressing gowns provided. A little secluded place outside to eat and relax, whilst listening to the birdsong.
Perfect location for Glastonbury and exploring the surrounding area.
Thankyou for giving us a chilled out weekend.

Shepherd's hut
Liked Anne was very welcoming and provided a lovely cream tea.
We really enjoyed our stay, the bed was comfortable, the shower was hot and the kitchen was better equipped than our one at home!
It was a quiet location and very convenient for visiting Wells and Glastonbury and we had a lovely weekend.

Perfect peaceful getaway, great facilities can't wait to return!
Shepherd's hut
Liked We were met by the lovely Anne who showed us around and we were welcomed with a delicious cream tea and bottle of bubbly which we enjoyed in the private garden.The hut is in a great location on the farm, right opposite the 5 sheep and the cows who are very friendly (we even met the farm cat one evening who joined us for dinner).
In the hut there is everything you could need, tea, coffee, milk, all the cooking equipment, fridge, cutlery and even a tv and dvd's, books and games in case of a rainy day. There is a great shower and a private bathroom in the hut too and the bed is super comfy! Even a fan for the warmer nights and an electric fireplace for the winter.
Only a short walk into the City of Wells, we were very excited when we realised it was the filming location for the movie Hot Fuzz! Wells is a beautiful place with a stunning cathedral and great shops (I highly recommend the flapjack shop on the corner!) We also met a few locals who were very friendly, and we were lucky to have a great sunny weekend and managed to catch the market on the Saturday where we bought lots of fresh local produce for our dinners for the next few days (we realised the butter we bought was actually produced with the milk from the cows on the farm we were staying on! Highly recommend it was delicious!)
We had to call Anne for some assistance on the second day and she was more than happy to help and arrived with us within minutes, even though she lives off site, and was more than happy to help us.
In the evenings we sat and watched the sunset over the mendip hills from the Hut and drank local cider in the private garden, the farm is a working farm but we barely heard it at all, and when we did it was only when we were outside but even then it was such a peaceful getaway, the perfect place to get away from it all and unwind. I can't recommend this place highly enough, if we could give more than 5 stars we would. Thank you so much to Anne we cannot wait to come back and visit again!
