Everything to like for a secluded stay. Stayed with dogs, and they loved being able to run about exploring.

Super cute little shepherd hut. It had everything you need for a few nights away. Everything was clean, wood for the fire (inside and out) and included a lovely hamper with fresh produce.
Easy to find, parking just a short walk from the hut, no problems with checking in or out.
Great location near Frome and Trowbridge, not far from Bath, so lots of places to visit if you want to go out, shop or find something to eat.
Mostly nice and quiet, see comments below.
Didn’t get to meet the hosts but they have done a lovely job and are just a phone call away if you need them.
There is no Wi-Fi (not a big problem for us) but might be for some if you’re expecting it.
There is no mention of a second accommodation in the field, it’s fine but on our first evening there was a couple with children who kept watching us the whole time and on the last evening a couple arrived with two small children who liked to scream and screech! So not completely the secluded and tranquil (apart from our second day/night) get away we had hoped for the whole time. It would be worth mentioning that there could be other people (with kids) there as we genuinely thought we would be on our own from the advert and photos and booked for that reason. I like to know what to expect.
Obviously the screaming children are not the hosts fault.
But other than that, loved it!

It was lovely and quiet the welcome hamper was really nice with lovely shortbread and a really lovely orange and almond homemade cake a real treat for us. Bedding was clean ,good size fridge lots of lanterns for the evening. Owners very friendly and helpful. Felt very chilled out good place to start reading a good book.
Nothing to moan about.

Peaceful setting with privacy. Clean and cosy with such thought put into the hamper. Already trying to organise a return visit.
Nothing!

The hut was really comfortable and provided everything I could need - comfy bed, workable kitchen area, a good shower and outdoor space. The welcome hamper contained lots of delicious goodies and meant that breakfast and treats were covered for the duration of my stay. The addition of the fire pit and outdoor seating made the evenings lovely and it was a perfect balance of seclusion and security as a solo traveller.
Would definitely come again!
Honestly… nothing. It was exceptional!
4.5
It was both romantic and secluded. Cake was really good and everything you need is in the cabin. We really enjoyed our stay.
The bed was a bit short. If you are taller then 1.90m you'll probably not fit.

Great location and Shepherds Hut.
Ruth and her husband were very welcoming.
The hut is very clean and well set up.
A hamper for breakfast is provided with local food.
Fresh bread, eggs handmade cake, hame made jam & fresh local milk.
Definitely a great setting for a runny egg sandwich for breakfast and cake and tea for the afternoon.
The log burner really helps to keep the hut warm in the winter. Our first night we added some logs to keep the heat in during the night. Unfortunately it then made us too hot, so we had the windows open to cool down. We learnt the second night, not to add more wood befire bed.
Local pub 25min walk through the fields.
Water boiler struggled with heating water, we put this down too the temperature outside being very cold.
4.5
clean spacious comfortable good quality breakfast and cosy wood burner.
It’s difficult to find at night. pin on app says it’s by the main road but it’s at the top of the lane. would recommend directions to say… come to the end of the lane until you reach a gate you can’t get past and turn left into car park. shower didn’t work.

Seclusion and comfort. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming.
Not sure if there was wi-fi there... But would have liked there to be.
4.5
Pretty cosy if a little small
In a quiet and remote area (other than the other hut available on the same field)
Several of the listed facilities were not there (WiFi, shower gel, shampoo)
Narrow lane to approach the property, not a big deal but good to be aware
4.5
1) quiet rural location
2) pretty decor
3) cooking facilities available
4) plenty of blankets, would have been very cosy in cool weather
5) easy access to Bath and Bradford-on-Avon
1) my visit coincided with a heatwave and the interior of the hut became very hot; the windows are very small and there was no effective method of cooling it down, not even a basic fan
2) some noise from the fridge (intermittent rather than constant, so more difficult to tune out)
3) the locking mechanism on the entry gate to the yard punctured one of my tyres
4) no wi-fi in the hut

The Shepherds hut was perfect for our weekend visiting our son at Bath Uni. The location was so quiet and secluded but in between Bath and Trowbridge so plenty of shops and restaurants a short drive away. We didnt get a chance to try to local pubs/restaurants but will do when we return! The welcome basket was filled with treats, and local fresh produce so we didnt even need to shop!
The weather was disappointing when we stayed but the hosts cant be blamed for that!

The breakfast was already in the Hut. The cake was lovely
I would like to have met the host
4.5
I loved the fact that it is quite isolated which is absolutely great if you are looking for peace and quiet. Away from everything and so cosy! Great time to be by yourself and relax, away from the bustle of your every day routine.
Breakfast was left in a lovely picnic basket, with a homemade orange and almond cake, which was delicious. Fresh eggs, bread, biscuits, orange juice, milk and marshmallows for the fire.
Definitely recommend the Shepherd Hut for anyone who wants to get away from it all. What a relaxing weekend! Will definitely return.
Many thanks Ruth for your warm welcome and for making my stay very enjoyable.

Idyllic, peaceful and tranquil accommodation to be staying in.. with only a short drive to local supermarkets and fuel stations.
Shepherds hut was unlike any other accommodation we've booked. Attention to every detail was lovingly put in place with the additional locally produced and homemade food basket supplied for us.
It was clean and surprisingly more spacious and comfortable than we'd imagined. It was fully equipped with everything you need and the additional use of a bbq outside,was most welcomed.
Our hosts left us to it. We'd met them breifly on our way back to our car, to go home. You really do feel like your time there is your very own to enjoy.
There was nothing we didn't like. Highly recommend for a quiet getaway.

The hut is absolutely perfect! Fully equipped with absolutely everything you need from being indoors to outdoors! Included a cute welcome hamper with homemade cake, bread and even some marshmallows for the fire pit 🥰🙌🏻 Everything was perfectly clean, towels lovely and fluffy, bedding so fresh and comfy and the shower was a lot more powerful & hot than we were expecting! 🤣🙌🏻 Loved the little home comforts like the radio, outdoor blankets & cushions for the outdoor seating around the fire pit, metal sticks for toasting the marshmallows, candle lit lanterns etc…just perfect!
The hut and surroundings are so beautiful and peaceful, it was an absolute pleasure to stay here for my wife’s birthday get away. Close to local walks & beautiful villages. Driving distance to Bath - beautiful and a must to visit the Roman Baths!! & Bradford on Avon - again so gorgeous and we had a lovely massage at the Vitality Day Spa….Highly recommended! 🙌🏻

Peaceful and calm, ideal for rest and recharging. The hut was everything that we need, very clean and cosy :)
The breakfast basket was such a nice touch, and made us feel really welcomed.
Ruth and her husband were so nice and helpful! Thank you for letting us stay at your place :)

We needed a break from the busy city life and constant noise. The moment we stepped into the hut and opened the windows we knew we chose the right place. We fell in love with the sound of the sheep in the morning and loved walking past the gate where they resided. It was a picture perfect location even though the weather wasn’t always on our side.
We were a little bit confused by the breakfast arrangements as there was no breakfast per se but rather a basket with local produces provided on the day of arrival. It lasted a long way so no harm done, just not what we expected. Will definitely go back for the almond cake (one of the said local specialities)
