Guest Reviews

• Simon (10/5): -
• Lee (10/5): Cosy with a homely feel - It's just out the way from the urban areas if you like that but only a 5 minute from the local city of wells drive or access to a bus stop at the bottom of the road, not to mention the nicest and welcoming hosts ever. They've gone further than above and beyond for us whilst we have been here, we will be sure to be making here a regular visit when we can!😊
• Edward (10/5): - Facilites and the location were lovely, hosts were great and very helpful! I'm sure we will be back.
• Suranga (10/5): The best shepherds hut experiences ever. - Perfect shepherd’s hut stay you could ever ask for! An absolutely amazing place — even more beautiful than the photos. Everything you could want for a peaceful glamping getaway is here. ✅ Beautiful garden and very secure place
✅ Clean, cosy and comfortable bed
✅ Clean and tidy bathroom
✅ Table and seating area
✅ Mini fridge, oven grill, hot plate, and all kitchen utensils
✅ Amazing hot tub
✅ Fire pit
✅ Outdoor sitting area with comfy chairs
✅ Next to a small river with river access
✅ Additional seating areas around the garden and by the river Only a few miles from England’s smallest city, Wells — full of history, lovely old pubs, restaurants, and beautiful places to explore. The hosts were extremely friendly and welcoming. Roger was kind enough to check my car when I had a problem on the way there, which I really appreciated. Michelle was incredibly kind, cheerful, and always helpful throughout our stay. And Bar 🐶 — the super friendly fur baby — made the stay even more special! 10/10 — highly recommended. We would definitely love to come back again. Non
• Zoe (10/5): Wonderful way to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary! - We loved the peaceful location, Barnaby the dog was a delightful fellow. The hut and hot tub was perfect and it felt like a private slice of heaven. Nothing, it was wonderful.
• Nikki (10/5): -
• Katherine (10/5): 1000% recommend - Michelle and Roger were lovely and beyond welcoming! The hut was comfortable, clean, and perfect for what we were looking for! Hot tub is lovely too, we will be back
• Carey (10/5): Excellent and memorable stay this was our second time and it was just as perfect as the last. - It was clean, tidy and well presented. The owners Roger and Michelle were lovely and incredibly helpful with great insight into places to go and or eat. Perfect distance from both Wells and Glastonbury all in all an incredible experience.
• Mark (10/5): Brilliant relaxing - Hot tub and piece and quite Nothing
• Dawn (10/5): -
• William (10/5): Wonderful hosts, beautiful location, exceptional place to stay -
• Stefan (9/5): - Location lovely and quiet. Wonderful hosts.
• Andrew (10/5): Wonderful - Experiencing something different Nothing
• Samantha (10/5): Please do not miss out on this absolute treasure - Everything was perfect. A pint of milk in the fridge for tea, and a bottle of wine - what more could you need? 25 minute walk into beautiful Wells, or the bus service is very good. Lots of bars and restaurants to choose from. Three supermarkets in close proximity for supplies. The Shepherds Hut itself has everything you need, and the hot tub was a lovely addition - complete with robes and slippers supplied. Lovely warm fire inside too, which warms the Hut up nicely, very quickly. A beautiful area - a 20 minute drive from Cheddar (take decent shoes if you are planning to hike the Gorge). Glastonbury and Street are also worth a visit, but make time for the cathedral in Wells because it is stunning The surrounding gardens of the Shepherds Hut are very pretty, with a stream and a reading nook. Host was very informative but left us to our own devices - which was perfect. I don’t have anything to add here - not a single negative
• Raluca (10/5): Everything about this place is incredible. The hot tub is perfect and the hosts are happy to help with anything. We appr - The best hosts you could wish for!
• ellen (10/5): - Hosts lovely with nice toches Everything hood
• Page (10/5): Convenient and well maintained, would absolutely recommend to anyone! - It was perfectly maintained and exactly what we needed. Easy to find, although we did also have a message prior from the hosts to guide us just in case we needed it! We actually arrived as Michelle came out to greet us, which was a nice gesture. It meant she could show us everything straight off the bat, and we knew the ins and outs of the property from the hosts themselves. Perfect all round.
• Emmanié (10/5): -
• Brandon (10/5): -
• Lewis (10/5): Relaxing few days away. Highly recommend - Absolutely gorgeous. We had such a great few days. Loved everything. The hut was well equipped and clean and tidy. We slept like babies and it was very peaceful. Hot tub was great and private. Hosts were really lovely, friendly and caring. Highly recommend for a peaceful break. Nothing we didn't like at all
• Alan (10/5): A great short break - Great quirky place with great hosts. Fantastic location for Wells, Bath and Chedder Nothing was great
• Jack (10/5): Memorably a very special trip with wonderful memory’s - I liked how clean it was, how dog friendly it was and the amount of things to do there. I cannot praise the hosts enough, we feel like we’ve met friends for life. So down to earth, easy to talk to , and went above and beyond at every opportunity, whether it was the slippers and dressings gowns, or storing our ice in their fridge. We can’t wait to come back ! Can’t fault a thing, just wish we stayed longer
• Vicki (10/5): A clean, scenic and comfortable stay with friendly hosts and great facilities – we’ll definitely return! - We had such a wonderful stay at Shepherd’s Hut. It was spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and set in a lovely scenic location that made it feel peaceful and relaxing. The hosts were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made our stay even more enjoyable. We loved making use of the great facilities, especially the hot tub and the fire pit in the evenings. Everything was comfortable and well thought-out, and we truly felt at home. We’ll definitely be booking again! Nothing
• Ricky (10/5): Magical - We had the most enchanting anniversary weekend at Old Ford Cottage in Wells, near Glastonbury! Michelle and Roger, the wonderful hosts, truly made us feel at home with their warm hospitality. The cottage is full of thoughtful touches, like milk in the fridge, tea, coffee, sugar, and even little flowers outside. We stayed in a cozy shepherd's hut that's over 300 years old, full of charm and character. The place was wonderfully warm and cozy, and the lovely jacuzzi was a highlight! We also enjoyed a little fire pit outside, and they even provided enough wood for it. Plus, the beautiful river nearby added a magical touch. They were incredibly accommodating, even welcoming our dogs, and the free Wi-Fi was a nice bonus. We can't recommend this place enough—truly a brilliant experience! Love TJ and R Nothing

• Amy (10/5): Perfect little getaway - Everything. It was perfect, all the little details made for such a lovely weekend and Roger & Michelle couldn’t have been more accommodating and friendly.
• Toni (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lauren (10/5): Perfect couples break. - Everything about our stay was wonderful, the location, accomodation and the hosts. The hut itself is finished to a high standard and has everything you need, our first night we stayed in and cooked. There is a small oven which worked very well, plenty of cutlery, utensils and crockery. There was also tea, coffee, sugar and milk on hand and some very nice biscuits! The outside area of the hut was also lovely, very spacious and the hot tub was a lovely treat. The hot tub itself is very well hidden so you do not feel overlooked or out in the open to other guests who are either coming and going. My husband and I throughly enjoyed our stay and will be booking again for our anniversary in January. Leaving !

• Cowling (9/5): Somerset delight - Michelle & Roger were an absolute delight! We were made to feel so welcome the moment we arrived, and as someone very new to using booking.com, all concerns were instantly put to rest. We were given a wonderful tour of the grounds by Michelle, including the river that ran through the property, and we were shown how to use all the facilities provided to us. Me and my partner enjoyed a wonderful sunny day in the river and garden, along with a cosy day inside the hut when we had some heavy rain hit. Our time here was fantastic! Overall, this is a fantastic little spot for a small getaway, especially if you are interested in visiting popular locations such as Wells and Glastonbury (10 mins drive from both)

• Chris (10/5): Exceptional - Really nice hut set in the grounds of a lovely cottage next to the river. It has a hot tub, fire pit and the bed was nice and comfy.
