Shepherds hut holiday rentals in Mendip District

Had the best couple of days staying at the hut, was greeted by Alexandra who was extremely friendly and helpful she showed us the facilities and hut. hut itself was a lovely little place, we could've happily stayed for longer. If we are ever back in the area we would definitely stay again, thanks so much :)

we had a superb getaway, ideal for timeout and a recharge. everything was as described and the mattress was so comfortable. is now on our favourites lists to return back to.

Sam's place was a joy to stay at! It's an annexe of an old house on the high street with a lovely bedroom overlooking a courtyard and a spacious living room and kitchen area which overlook the garden. The garden is full of fruit trees and wonderful plants and is very well tended. A bathroom and a second toilet made getting out in the morning easy as well. Castle Cary is a wonderful town (recommend the Somerset Wine Company and the Gallery which Sam and his wife run!) We did use the jacuzzi (for an additional fee) and sitting in there listening to the live jazz from the bar and looking at the stars was a dream. We made a new friend in Bobby (the dog) who just wanted to play fetch Loved our night there and would happily return!

I had a wonderful stay. There has been some storm damage to the hut I was due to stay in so Linda called me and let me know she had plenty of other options and put me in a wonderful alternative hut. The hut was spotless, warm (with enough wood to keep me warm all weekend) and cosy. Linda was very friendly and responsive. Moonfleet is a beautiful place to spend some time away from normal life and feel in the country side. I can’t wait to go back!

Cosy little Shepherds hut, perfect for a night away. Will most definitely be returning. Many thanks

What a beautiful little place! Fiona is a lovely host and the place is beautiful with everything you need. Much needed reset for my husband and I. Thank you! 😊

Amazing stay at Mark’s shepherds hut. Incredible location, super peaceful and as described. Well kitted out. We had a lovely BBQ and enjoyed some marshmallows say around the fire. The abbey nearby was worth a visit and had a swim in the river. Would definitely visit again. Thanks Mark.

We were so looking forward to getting to the cabin, but due to personal reasons we had to cancel. Despite the very short notice, Frank was kind and considerate. Overall Frank answered all our questions with kindness, found us a driver to assist us, and showed great willingness to make our stay perfect. Thank you so much Frank!

Really lovely place to stay, it felt plenty spacious enough for 3 of us. The chickens were really cute and inquisitive! The hut was beautiful and clean, and in a great location to get onto the canal path for a nice walk. The hot tub was good fun too! The hosts were great with communication and really accommodating. Would defo recommend!

An absolutely beautiful place to stay! My husband and I spent our 1st wedding anniversary here and couldn’t have chosen better. Waking up to the stunning countryside views was incredibly peaceful and serene. Each day, we took short trips into Bath to explore the city, then returned to the calm and comfort of the countryside in the evening, it was the perfect balance. Laura was a wonderfully friendly and responsive host, ensuring everything was spotless for our arrival. She even left us some delicious local food, which made for the perfect breakfast on our first morning.

What an absolutely beautiful place to stay! The hut was like something out of a fairytale. Ei has excellent taste, it was decorated perfectly. From the bed you have views over the rolling hills of the surrounding farmland and also of the wildflower meadow in the garden. It is so peaceful there- we woke up to the sound of birds singing every morning with no other noise. Ei also has a very friendly cat who chose to join us for our dinners in the garden. She left us lots of lovely local food and drinks in the kitchen which were delicious. There is also a barbecue outside in case you feel like having one one evening. The bed is extremely comfy. The only thing I might mention is that the mattress is quite soft and might not be the best for people with back problems.

Lucy was a wonderful stay, with a hot tub that once up to temperature was lovely and relaxing. Nice views into the fields and sounds of the farm animals. The bathroom and kitchen area had everything we needed, with a lovely sized shower.There was plenty of wood supplied for the hot tub on our short stay. Overall would recommend.

We really enjoyed our stay at Fiona’s Shepherds Hut. It was decorated and finished to a high standard, very comfortable and actually feels bigger inside than expected! The log fire was great (although it gets very hot very quickly, probably our fault and put one too many logs on, we actually had to open a window at one point!). Fiona was very responsive to our questions and queries, including when the solar power went off due to the poor weather. (The farm shop directly over the road also do an incredible breakfast!) Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and is an ideal base for a quiet weekend away. Thank you Fiona!

We stayed for my husbands 60th along with our dog Lola. Rosa had left a bottle of Prosecco along with a birthday card which was a lovely touch. The hut was equipped with all essentials and was immaculate. The bed was super comfy. Our dog was welcomed and loved to explore the area with Daisy their dog and without. They got on well. Very secure for your dog to roam. We had a great time thank you. Rosa and Mark were friendly and helpful. Great hosts

Anne’s cabin I stayed in was a dream come true. Been looking for a place to relax to and escape the busy life. The peaceful surroundings was a miracle and reminded me of home. Will definitely be booking again shortly.

Had an amazing stay at the hare hideaway. Lots of lovely walks to go on with the dog with the local pubs and cafe’s all being dog friendly. The information from Paula was really helpful. Couldn’t recommend any more. Will be returning very soon.

We had such a wonderful stay for my partners birthday, Clive went the extra mile to make us feel welcome by putting up some birthday decorations and leaving us some treats for when we arrived. It's a perfect place to get away and unwind in nature, we were always surrounded by animals whether it was Norman the cat visiting during a bbq, hanging out with the goats, or watching the ducks drift about in the stream while relaxing in the hot tub. Thank you very much to Clive and Nikki for hosting us. I cannot recommend Kingfisher enough, we truly had an amazing time :)

A lovely place that’s great for being cozy and romantic. Hot tub and a BBQ are a must 😄

We stayed in the hut called collie. It was absolutely stunning and was so lovely to stay it. Surrounded by nature and animals. Lovely view, hot tub was amazing. The bed was very comfy and everything you needed inside. Thank you so much!

Great little hide away, the cabin was tidy and spacious even with the bed down. The fixtures are beautiful and the dimmer switch really adds another level of chill to the space. would definitely recommend for a relaxing romantic getaway for couples!

Sally was a great host, welcomed us in and explained everything so we could make the most of the amenities. She recommended great places to go and the shepherd's hut was lovely and cosy. Can't ever go wrong with a hut tub too! Would stay again!

The shepherd’s hut was cozy, beautifully crafted, and nestled in a peaceful wooded setting—perfect for unplugging and unwinding. The hot tub under the trees was a highlight, especially in the evening with the sounds of nature all around. Thoughtful touches and a warm welcome made our stay even more special. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a serene retreat."

We had the most wonderful stay in this charming shepherd’s hut. It was warm, beautifully decorated, and perfectly peaceful. The highlight was definitely the hot tub — relaxing under the stars was such a treat. And the baby goats! They were absolutely adorable, playful, and made the whole experience feel even more special. We loved spending time with them and couldn’t stop smiling. A perfect little getaway for anyone needing some rest, fresh air, and a touch of countryside magic.

Our stay at the Shepherds hut exceeded our expectations. It was beautiful inside and out, spotlessly clean, tasteful decor and had everything we needed for a relaxed and pleasant stay. The view was stunning and Lacock is 15 min walk away. We were fortunate with the weather but it would still be great in the cold or rain. Our host Dilly was lovely and would definitely stay there again. Highly recommend.
