To Rest A While

To Rest A While is such a fantastic Sheperd's Hut and Anne the host is fabulous! She met me on road a couple of miles out to guide the way; such an angel. Her cream tea, was lovely and I was also privileged to taste her amazing Victoria sponge cake! (Anne you should do a list for orders???)
I was on my bicycle and perfectly situated for Wells, Glastonbury, Wookey Hole, Ebbor Gorge and Cheddar Gorge. Be aware there are some BIG hills!!! Cycling down through Cheddar Gorge road was unbelievable and worth the climb on the approach. With a car you could go even further a field and with ample parking on site; but do check where too, as it is a working farm. Saying that, it was totally peaceful and almost tranquil with occasional distant tractor sounds; as expected.
The hut was perfect for me, my bike and I; as it would be for a couple. Lovely comfy bed (and I'm 6ft 2"), lots of hot water and great toilet/shower room. Cracking little cooker/grill/double hob, mini fridge with ice box, more than enough crockery, cutlery and utensils, towels, shower robes and lots more!
Overall the hut surpassed my initial thoughts on booking. Superbly furnished and with everything I needed and more!
I wouldn't hesitate to book; you won't be disappointed!!!

Due to no fault of Anne, the recent hot and dry weather made it a little dusty at times. Saying that, it did not in anyway ruin my experience; just the gleam of my shiny bike!

Cosy and comfortable excellent shower

No wifi to speak of even though described as having it. . If lucky you could just pick up emails etc outside but totally hit and miss. I suggested that shouldn't advertise it until they'd sorted out the connection!

All the places you can visit, Glastonbury, Stonehenge, Longleat, Wells Cathedral and Wookey Hole. Also while I was there the Bath and West Show.
A different place to stay as a Shepherd Hut was something I had always wanted to stay.
Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Noisy as building works were going on.

Really wonderful, thank you very much Anne for making us feel so welcome, hope to see you again soon 😀

Loved this cute and cosy shepards hut. Anne was very welcoming and the kettle was on ready for me. Every thing I needed to cook was thought of. Really peaceful, didn't see a soul for 3 days. In a great location to explore Wells, Cheddar Gorge and Glastonbury which I did before spending late afternoons in the little garden with my book. For a few days I wasn't a mum or a manager... Perfect place to forget the real world and recharge 😍

Forgot to take firelighters so had no way to light the wood burner.

Shepherds hut with on suite, comfy double bed, beautiful decor, tiny but well thought out cooking and eating area. Bonus is a delightful secluded patio garden at the side with table and chairs. It's on farm but was very quiet.
We went for a 45th wedding anniversary weekend to see Wells, our fist trip out since before lockdown. Also had a great night at the Wookey Hole Comedy Cavern - great to see a live event.
Anne the host was very welcoming and helpful - and of course the often mentioned cream tea was delicious.

Everything, the attention paid to the details was great. There was nothing missing and the comfort and coziness provided was perfect. The owner also prepared cream tea for us at the arrival!

Anne is a wonderful host, she met me at the hut and explained everything. A very nice touch was the cream tea. Very clean and Cosy. Very peaceful, exactly what I needed. Walked into wells which took about 30 mins. Would definitely recommend.

Cosy shepherds hut.
All facilities you could need.

Cobwebs and flies internally. (However being in the country, on a working farm, it is to be expected)
Leaky shower control unit. ( Didn't prevent shower from working and being used)
Poor phone signal and non existent WiFi.

We really enjoyed our stay.

Very cosy and convenient, and in beautiful surroundings.

And a cream tea to welcome you too !
