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!

My partner and I were desperate to have a relaxing place to stay to get away from our busy work lives and this was the perfect place. Tucked out the way and very private surrounded with beautiful scenery and next to no noise. We loved that it was walking distance to the pub where we enjoyed lunch. The hot tub was a bonus. It had everything we needed. Excellent little shepherds hut, highly recommend. Thank you!

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!

My partner and I stayed at this beautiful Shepherds hut for a child free weekend and it was everything we could ask for and more . Communication was brilliant from - finding the air b n b to recommendations for walks and places to eat and Anne was very friendly and helpful . The beautiful lights around the property at night, outdoor living area, hot tub and walks on the doorstep made this a place to remember. Thankyou xx

I booked to stay here as a treat for my best friends birthday and I can honestly say it exceeded expectations. Zena was so friendly and helpful even before arriving, she communicated with us very well and responded very quickly to any messages I sent. When we arrived Zena (and 3 sweet dogs!) showed us where we were staying and assured us that we only needed to ask if there was anything she could do. The hut was absolutely stunning, super clean, gorgeously decorated and cosy. The outside space was so lovely and peaceful as well and we spent a lot of time in the hot tub which was a great feature. The log fire inside made the hut very toasty and the bed was very comfortable. Amenities were fantastic and every little detail had been thought of. Highly recommend a stay here either with a friend or partner. Will 100% look to stay again in the future!

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!

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.

This little Easter break was perfect for myself, my 4yr old and our dog, and exactly what it says in the tin ‘Simple and Serene’ the views are stunning and we went to 4 different beaches in the space of a couple of days! Nicola was so accommodating, from a flexible check in time to letting my daughter borrow colouring pens! I would 100% recommend and will book again in the future. Thank you so much x

Incredible spot! Really enjoyed our time here, very peaceful and lovely surroundings. Hot tub was exceptional, Clive was very helpful and attentive. Would recommend for any couple looking for time away in the countryside.

A wonderful stay. Mike and Anna are the perfect hosts, I cannot fault their communication and help with settling us in. The accommodation is peaceful and serene with a stylish mix of old and new. We had a truly lovely stay, thank you x (Minor note, the track to access the property is narrow, steep and bumpy. Would suggest a 4x4. A lowered car may struggle. Hope that’s helpful and certainly not a criticism.)

Collie Shepards Hut has been an absolute diamond find for a few days to explore Somerset and relax.The location , facilities , hospitality and comfort has been top tier. Chloe and her family have most definitely thought of everything you’d possibly need for the best experience. Such a peaceful and private spot for some R&R. Do not hesitate to book to stay here !

Our stay was perfect - the hut is even better than described, immaculately clean, beautifully decorated, and set in the most peaceful surroundings. Every little detail had been thought of to make us feel completely at home. We were welcomed with fresh milk, eggs, tea, and coffee, which was such a lovely touch and made settling in feel so easy and thoughtful. It was clear a lot of care had gone into creating a relaxing space for guests. We left feeling refreshed - highly recommend!

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.

We absolutely loved our stay here! Such a perfect little escape with lots of very thoughtful gestures which made the stay even more special!

Wow! What an amazing cabin!! We’ve stayed in a lot of off grid accommodation over the years and this was up there with the best, if not the best!!! Beautiful well thought out cabin in peaceful surroundings. The cabin was equipped with everything you need for a relaxing stay. Warning to others… there is very limited reception. This added to the charm for us as we had some much needed downtime but make sure you download anything you need beforehand. We can’t wait to visit again hopefully to enjoy it in the sunshine!

We had a wonderful stay at Harriet's Hideaway and were very sad to leave the tranquility and beauty of Thorndon Farm. The hut itself was finished to the highest quality and even had underfloor heating! We loved all the little extras, such as the Easter eggs, hot chocolate velvetiser, goodie basket and clearly a lot of thought had gone into setting the hut up. The highlight though, apart from the idyllic setting, was the incredible wood-fired hot tub and the fire pit which made the evenings under the stars complete. Jeni's communication was also excellent and we were very appreciative of the fact that she went out of her way to order in Raspberry jam especially for us! We look forward to returning in the future xx
