Basically Brilliant
Paul and Judy have an ideal retreat waiting for you to enjoy a peaceful exploration of the area. The cottage sits atop a hill with a glorious view to enjoy after a days walking in the hills and woods. The accommodation is basic but perfectly comfortable and has all you need for a break from the everyday pressures of normal life. The shower has real power to wake you up too. Paul and Judy a very hospitable and are unobtrusively available should you require help. Their two dogs are extremely friendly. All in all a very good choice for a stay in the area and we thank you for looking after us so well.

Thank your Tracy & Simon for taking the time to review your stay with us. It was a pleasure to meet you and have you stay with us. We were pleased you managed to dodge some of the rain and explore the local area including a walk top to bottom of Cheddar Gorge. We look forward to welcoming back to the farm in the very near future. Best wishes ... Judy & Paul

Shepherds cottage
The owners of the farm are very friendly but I feel that the cottage needs a little TLC to bring it up to standard. I am a little slow on my feet and I feel there ought to be some mention of the steep steps to the front door can be quite slippy although there is a well positioned handle to help. Through no fault of the owners we had very heavy rain throughout most of our stay and the ground in front of the cottage and path at the rear were very slippery. The view is fantastic but it is such a shame that there is a broken down old car to the left of the cottage slightly blocking the view and having some effect on parking which is very narrow and slippery to drive into and get out of the car. Internally it was a little disappointing with paintwork dirty and holed (bathroom door).Due to the heavy rain the front wall had significant damp halfway up in the kitchen.The lounge/bedroom window is single glazed and draughty.The 'cooker' was two electric rings and a microwave and the dining area a small square table with two folding chairs. The bathroom was basic, the shower excellent but again at the window a net curtain pinned up with rusty drawing pins. The log burner was very welcome but small, the front door of the log burner difficult to close which was a little worrying as the beds are in the same room.The beds are the top and bottom of a bunk bed but quite comfortable.Kitchen utensils were usable.The whole cottage became very cold in night without the burner.

Thank you for taking considerable time to write the review of your stay in our Shepherd's Cottage. Unfortunately you did not address any issues during your stay and everything was "great" when asked ! There is an ongoing plan of redecoration, and since you left decoration continued in the bathroom and kitchen, the lounge having been completed prior to your arrival. As stated on the website the kitchen boasts a 2 - ring hob and a Combination Microwave / Oven, plus the slow cooker is very popular. The electric panel heater is brand new and is set to a constant temperature to give background heat. We found this was switched off on your departure!

Amazing stay
We spent a wonderful 2 night stay here. Paul and Judy and their 3 dogs are lovely and made us feel so welcome and comfortable. The shepherd hut is great with lots of character. You are left a large supply of free logs for the fire which makes the place feel so cosy, told if you run out to just leave the basket outside and it will be filled up again for you. On arrival they told us the history of the hut which was fascinating. Kitchen is small but with all the basic equipment you will need You feel like your way out in the country but it’s only a 5 min drive from cheddar town and a few mins more to the gorge. If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway I would highly recommend it. It’s also a great base for walking

Peaceful, Comfortable, Amaing view
Thank you Judy, Paul, and your lovely dogs for the warm hospitality. We felt at home the moment we got there. The cottage is comfortable and warm. We appreciated that the woodstove was ready for us the first night and for the suply of wood. The view of Cheddar from the cottage is amazing, especially sunset. Loved the quiet, peaceful nature and farm sounds in the morning while drinking my coffee outside and seeing a beautiful deer in the field on my early morning stroll. We also enjoyed our walk up the hill to the view of the gorge. Spectacular view. The only dissapointment is that we had to cut our stay short due to my spouse not feeling well. Otherwise we would have stayed longer. We would recomend a stay at your cottage and come back ourselves if we are in the area again.

Sophie, Thanks for taking the time to write a review it is much appreciated. It was great meeting you both, just a pity you had arrived with Covid and that put a dampener on your stay. At least you got some good old Mendip Cheddar Gorge fresh air out on your walks. We hope you managed to get some enjoyment out of the rest of your stay in the UK before returning to Canada. Hope to see you both again if you are passing ? lots of love .... Judy & Paul

Cosy hillside shepherd's cottage
This is a former shepherd's cottage on a working farm run by our welcoming hosts Paul and Judy. It is compact but has all the amenities for a comfortable stay for two. The farm has rare breed cattle, sheep and chicken and our hosts were also able to offer their own products for sale at reasonable prices. It is on a hillside overlooking Cheddar and about 25 mins from the cathedral city of Wells. We enjoyed or stay very much. Recommended!

Lovely Short Break
Shepherds Cottage is the ideal place to get away from it all! You find everything you need inside the cottage and the views are just amazing. It’s so quiet, I slept like a baby. Judy and Paul are the perfect hosts and the dogs Meg and Tess are just cute. It was lovely to light the wood burner in the evenings. The farm eggs are delicious and Jusy’s raspberry jam tasted really good! I walked to Cheddar Gorge (it really is only a 20 minutes walk away from the cottage) and enjoyed the lovely views over the Gorge. Cheddar reservoir is also great to watch the sunset. The hill up to the cottage is steep, but nothing to worry about. There is plenty of hiking opportunities. Glastonbury, Wells and Wookey Hole Caves are only a short drive away. I’d always come back!

A lovely stay in a great location
My dog and I were warmly welcomed by Paul and Judy. And, as Paul showed me around, I was immediately impressed with the preparation that had obviously gone in to ensuring the accommodation was clean and Covid secure. The cottage itself is cosy and rustic, with everything I needed to settle in (including wi-fi) and a lovely log burner that made it extra snug on the chilly evenings! The location is very peaceful and private - situated on a working farm with sheep, cows and chickens and wonderful views across Cheddar (with an amazing sunset too)! I walked into the centre on a couple of evenings and it took me just 20 minutes. Thank you both for a lovely stay. Caroline

absolutely loved our stay, everything was just as described, no surprises. A lovely welcome from the hosts and their two adorable dogs. It's a shame our dog wasn't as amiable. It was total peace and quiet and the weather was kind right up until our last day, Cheddar Gorge is just a short drive and is delightful. Weston Super Mare is a lovely seaside resort and has been brought into the 21st century. I would highly recommend this property.

Something Different
Fantastic stay! Didn't know what to expect from this place, and initially seeing how secluded and rustic it was had us on the back-foot a little. However night after night the cosy log fire and breathtaking views won us over and it very quickly felt like a second home. Paul and Judy are lovely people and really went out of their way to make us feel welcome. If 5 star accommodation and convenience is what you're after this is not for you, but if you're happy to throw on some wellies and go for a hike in the cow fields before coming back to a log fire and a cuppa you'll do just fine. Would most certainly stay again!

A really nice small cottage.
What a lovely stay for two nights. Wish it was longer though. The cottage was really cosy with a log burner which made the evening in perfect. We loved the chickens that wonder around. Judy and Paul were great hosts and nothing was too much trouble for them . They gave us our privacy which was nice. Over all I would recommend this for a couple wanting to get away from it all.

Weekend Getaway
It was great to meet Judy and Paul with their wealth of farming knowledge, they are so friendly and what an enjoyable stay. The cottage was delightful & cosy, we felt at home straight away. A fire was glowing when we arrived and Paul said it took him back to his teenage years on the farm. It was lovely to be welcomed by all the animals too. The view is amazing and to just sit in the evening looking across the fields to Cheddar reservoir was just perfect. We wish we could have stayed longer, perhaps on our next visit. If you are an artist or writer this is the ideal place to stay, with just the sound of the birds & animals to occasionally distract you. Thank you so much for everything & the yummy eggs. Best Wishes Rowena & Paul

Thanks for the review Wendy it was great having you and Ian and Stanley to stay. You crammed so much in during your stay and romping around the field suited Stanley far more than walking around the village ! We look forward to seeing you all again soon. All the best Judy & Paul
