This was our first experience in a shepherds hut and it didn’t disappoint. All you need for a peaceful break, with the use of a hot tub, fire pit and BBQ it was perfect. We had a lovely visit from the owners dog (Tara) at the BBQ time which was nice, we thought she might of wanted more than pat and a stroke. The light around the garden in front of the hut was a nice touch especially when the evening comes.

Great just great

Byemills is a great place to stay.we had such a restful and pleasant stay. Our hosts were brilliant and when there was a brief region wide power cut they were straight to us to ensure we had everything we needed. Easy walking distance to local pubs and a great historical stone circle at Stanton Drew. We loved our stay and made all the more special with it being Christmas.

Perfect spot and accommodation for our weekend away. Beautiful countryside, easy riverside walk to local pubs, plus the shepherds hut was gorgeous. Sitting in the hot tub enjoying the sounds of the birds and lambs was the icing on the cake. I just wish we had booked for longer

Amazing Birthday Getaway

We have just come back from the most amazing couple nights away in this most amazing shepherds hut. Can not fault the hut or the facilities inside, all was amazing. Hot tub in the evening then in the hut to warm back up by a real fire 😍. Location was great for trips out to Bath and a lovely day in Cheddar Gorge. Anne was Brill and told us all we needed to know including a great place to eat 'the Druids' where we had the best stake n ale pie ever 😋. 💗

peaceful

just had a lovely relaxing peaceful 2 night stay and its exactly as advertised, short walk through the fields towards the viaduct is friendly pub with good food, Bath just a short 30 min drive away and the Hot tub was amazing especially at night in the light up garden. Only word of warning is the bed is not suited to tall people, I'm 6ft 1 and had to sleep at angle as the bed is wall to wall and my legs were too long. I'd definitely recommend.

Sanctuary in our chaos

My husband and I stayed in this idyllic Shephards hut whilst on a trip to look after our Grandchild during the day time . After running around after a 4 year old all day , it was a welcome sanctuary to come home to this beautiful dwelling with its lovely fairy lights and delightfully warm hot tub to recharge our worn out bodies for the next days shenanigans . Our only regret is that we didn’t stay longer and have a few days for ourselves to explore the beautiful surroundings . We will definitely be back .

Excellent cosy farmhouse hut

It wasn't as private as advertised as you are on the edge of the owners property/driveway. Somethings advertised either didn't work or weren't supplied. Check in/out times are very early and late bearing in mind the nightly rate. However it is a very warm and comfortable hut but weather dependant as no outside cover which would have enabled us to sit outside in inclement weather.

Lovely and relaxing

Loved our short break, just what we needed, enjoyed the hot tub and barbecue on the fire pit. Only a couple of little things I would suggest, the stairs leading up to hut could do with rails as I have short legs and I tripped once while taking bags into the hut. Luckily only squished the bread in the bag. Otherwise very enjoyable, thanks. Terry and Angela.

Best get a way to recharge!

Me and my partner booked the shepherds hut for his 30th birthday celebrations. (towards the end of September). It was such a charming location the host Anne, was very welcoming. We’re already looking to book again. There are loads of local pubs and walks detailed in the welcoming pack inside the hut. We also drove into Bath and visited the Roman Bath’s and on another day visited the Wild Life Project in Bristol. The sights are so beautiful, during the day you can even spot cows in the field opposite. We were lucky enough to be briefly visited by the host’s dog, who was very cute. We spent the evenings listening to the radio, while enjoying the fire pit covered in the moon light. It was so lovely having the hot tub at our doorstep and made even nicer being surrounded by fairy lights. Would definitely recommend. Can’t wait to come back. Emma & Brad
