Shepherd's Hut vacation rentals in Taunton Deane

Sandra and Rob are always really kind, thoughtful and helpful hosts and it is a pleasure to stay with them.

We didn't want to return home as we had had the perfect stay. This lovely little shepherd's hut surrounded by beautiful farmlands, was just what we'd hoped for and it didn't disappoint! Our hosts Peter and Rachel, were very responsive to our needs, although, gave us our privacy and let us explore the surrounding areas. The hut had lots of little touches to it that made it feel homely and cute, although, functional and great use of a small space. We were pleasantly surprised to find that the hut had heating, wifi and a range of options on the tv after a tiring day of adventures! Excellent stay, would absolutely return, thank you! Emily & Andy.

Penny and Ant real nice people . If you want to unwind and go back to nature this is the place . The views and silence is perfect it’s a remedy . No 42” TV with mobile sockets everywhere this is off grid bliss , fabulous comfy bed in the hut and great shed for cooking , if your a 70s kid you’ll appreciate the shower and toilet , brilliant . Not just an over night stay but an experience of how things should be , regards Alan .

We had a lovely 2 night stay at the hut. Fiona was a really great host who came out to us even though it was late and raining! The hut was super warm on arrival and it has an internal heater and towel rail which is nice. It was also nice to be welcomed with some baked goods which we enjoyed the next morning. The bed was super comfy and we slept really well. The hot tub was nice to relax in… you get all the stuff provided for it which is good and on previous experiences this isn’t always the case. We used the Fire pit and you get some cushions to use which are under the bed and extra blankets which again is really nice. It’s exceptionally well thought out and the lord of added extras make it really nice. Would deffo return

Just returned from yet another stay at The Glade, it never fails to be amazing. My son has spent his past 2 birthdays here with me and explains that it is his favourite place. We love the hammock, woods, quiet, solitude and my sons favourite thing is waking up to the birds singing. This place is truly a haven! Remember to take your binoculars as there are an abundance of birds to see. I noticed this stay that there is a nesting pair of Nuthatches nesting in the tree directly in front of the kitchen window. Spent lots of time watching those go in and out and tidy their nest. The Glade is equipped with everything you need and Juliet is on hand if you need anything else. Lovely place and I cannot say enough good things about it. We will be back again soon. Liane, Roo and Peggy-sue.

Beautiful bespoke shepards hut. Very comfortable with everything you might need. Stunning location within easy reach of Beautiful seaside towns. Lovely personal touches like tea coffee, organic milk and a freshly made cake. Thank you very much

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!

A perfect getaway in an amazing location in Exmoor with so much history, wildlife and character. The log cabin was to a high standard of comfort and convenience. The hot tub was amazing and log burner kept us so toasty. Wpuld highly recommended this hidden gem. The hosts were friendly and helpful - they kept us stocked on wood and provided a perfect getaway. Would definitely come back

Me and my partner had a lovely time staying in the shepherds hut, very clean and a very peaceful place! I would like to thank Alan for the help with the hot tub as we never used one of these before and sorting the shower as we had one problem but Alan was very helpful and came to help very quickly. Kate was a lovely host very quick to reply to any message if we needed help, as we arrived at the destination in the hut was left an Easter egg for us which was a lovely surprise! Overall very lovely place to stay if looking to go away for some alone time for peace and quiet. The Pub was around 5/10 minute walk.

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!

Beautiful weekend at Anne’s place! Perfect location to be able to go to Bristol but also being surrounded by peaceful countryside and plenty of walks and lovely pubs close by too! The hot tub and outdoor area was the perfect addition!

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!

Had the best time staying here for 2 nights. Very private location which was great, stunning views, and the hot tub was a great added bonus. Laura was a great host who answered any queries and even lit our hot tub fire for us when we struggled :) The hut was absolutely spotless and had everything you could ever need for a perfect weekend away. Very close to Bath which was an easy drive, lots of other nice, quiet villages nearby too with great pubs. Would highly recommend this place to anyone after a relaxing weekend away, enough room to bring a dog along too! Thank you :)

Great little space for a weekend away - secluded and quiet, we really enjoyed the wood fired hot tub in which we spent the evening looking up at the stars! The local recommendations were great too - went for a pie at a local pub which was brilliant. The surroundings of the field and farm animals + plenty of wildlife made it a very peaceful stay. The cabin itself is well equipped and the how-to guides for everything are very clear. Lovely touch of a prosecco bottle to arrive to as well. Rebecca was a great host and offered plenty of suggestions for things to do in her written guide. The location is very convenient for the Jurassic coast by car. Would definitely come back again!

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.

Simply perfect! I'd like to say our stay was terrible so no-one else finds this fantastic hide-away but I can't. As soon as we stepped inside, we immediately relaxed. The decor and view create a peaceful environment that we all enjoyed. The pool and fire-pit were the kids favourite. Easy walk into Lyme Regis with lots of independent shops, fossil hunting and restaurants. Mike has been brilliant - communication has been excellent. We were all super sad to leave! Hopefully we will get back there soon.

Collie shepherds hut was just perfect! The hut was clean and well equipped, with some beautiful extra touches like crumpets and milk being provided. It had everything we needed for our weekend break. All bedding and towels were provided and there were things like a hairdryer for after the tub, blankets for a chilly evening and sticks to toast marshmallows on! The hot tub and fire pit were superb, and well used by us! It got soooo hot we were able to stay in for hours! The view was to die for- with rolling fields in front of us, with grazing horses, many different birds and the sound of cows and wildlife all around. It was in a very rural location which meant it was peaceful and tranquil. Lots of towns and cities near enough to get out exploring each day! The host was great at communicating and gave us a very friendly welcome. We would absolutely come back ❤️

What can I say?! Just amazing. Beautiful and peaceful surroundings. Fantastic host. Every little detail thought of and such a high standard. Loved everything about this stay. Will definitely recommend and more importantly definitely be back. Thank you so much Lou, it is simply perfect.

This has to be one of the most beautiful places i've ever booked, we spent the Easter break here and literally could have never seen another sole all weekend if we wished. The shepherds hut is so well equipped and decorated, small but perfectly done. The bed was so comfy and it was lovely to lay in bed and look at the wonderful scenery all around. The outside bath was just perfect to lay back in and listen to nothing but the birds singing away. We grilled fish on the bbq and sat around the chimenea, it was just the most exquisite place to chill out. Leave the gate open for the chickens to visit, they are absolutely fascinating to watch, feed them a little bread and they follow you around each day. We had the most amazing time here, you will not be disappointed.

100% recommend staying here. The pictures are exactly what it’s like in person and more! The attention to detail was amazing, everything you need for your stay is there. They even had hot chocolate and marshmallows for a cosy night around the fire-pit. Communication with the host was very formative, clear and in timely manner. We would definitely return as it is the perfect relaxing getaway but also walks/restaurants close. Thankyou so much!

We had the most wonderful stay at the hut in the woods. It’s a beautiful, cosy, well made space. The kitchen is well equipped and the bathroom is lovely with a powerful shower. It’s a lovely setting in the woods with a fire pit and stream at the bottom. I agree with other reviews that sleeping might be a push for 3 adults, but it worked very well for us with our 4 year old son. There is so much to do in the wider area, Dartmoor, bike rides, national trust, Bude, and loads we didn’t have time for. The owners have good local knowledge and made some great recommendations.

The location of the hideaway was stunning, very private and overall very relaxing. Check in instructions were clear, directions were clear. The hut itself was very clean and had all the appliances that we needed. When we arrived the Hot tub was already filled and heated with clear intrusions on how to use. This little getaway was exactly what we needed to decompress and relax in the country side. Surrounded by birds, wild life and various animals. Jeni was very helpful, quick and responding, welcoming and friendly. Overall a fan experience, would definitely recommend and come back again.

Ruby retreat was perfect. Wonderful location, peaceful and private. The shepherds hut was just as described and came with everything you need including some fresh bread, eggs and milk. would definitely recommend
