Shepherd's hut (four person)

Liked: Towels and bedding are provided. The hottub on a cool night looking up at the star's and the moon is lovely. There was a well equipped kitchen with cooker, kettle and toaster. The covered social /eating area was a relief when it rained, with the addition of a DAB radio. The wood for the fire was free and plentiful. The welcome breakfast pack was delicious. Great recycling facilities.

Disliked: There was no bin for non-recyclables. A mop would have been useful to clean the floors with when they got wet and muddy. There were no toilet brushes.

Liked: Outside dining room with woodburner was excellent. Lovely and quiet. Great hot tub. Breakfast a thoughtful touch.

Disliked: Left an expensive headlight torch behing and tried to contact them via text and email but to no avail. Bit of a shame. Was happy to pay postage.

Shepherd's hut (four person)

Liked: We had an absolutely wonderful weekend break here, Charlotte had been in contact with us a day or so before our arrival to check what time we were due to arrive which meant that we arrived to the fire already going AND a nice warm hot tub! The kitchen area is small but had everything we needed from pots, pans, cutlery, mugs and even the odd wine glass. The breakfast pack was a lovely addition and also meant we didn't have to dash to the shops after a long drive down. The showers and toilets were spotless too. The only suggestion we had was that some solar/fairy lights around the hot tub area would be a lovely addition. Location wise it's a great base for exploring the surrounding areas, we visited Wells, Cheddar and Bath which are all within 40/50 minute drive. The site itself is very quiet (i'd recommend having a little look at google street view before you head off as it's very much a "blink and you'll miss it" turning off the main road. Thanks for a great stay, we will definitely be back!

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely feedback, unfortunately because its an Area of outstanding natural beauty we can add any additional lighting only what we have planning for, but I do like the idea of some fairy lights! Hope to see you again

Liked: Communal dining area with wood stove, wood fired hot tub and seating. Great hot showers, clean loos . Set in a lovely field full of nature and 3 lovely shepherd's huts. Small enough to retreat from the world yet mix with the other families/couples .

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review, hope to see you again soon! Charlotte

Liked: Everything! Such a lovely place to stay. Very peaceful and beautiful scenery. Loved the hot tub and communal firepit too as it provided a chance to get to know fellow campers.

Local attractions

Start off with a trip to the Stourhead Estate (five minutes' drive), a National Trust-run property with a historic house and smashing neo-classical garden centred around a gorgeous lake. Grottoes, decorative temples and a whole host of trees will keep you occupied for many an hour (and supply you with near-endless material for family games of I spy). If travelling with drowsy younger tots, it's also good to know that the flat, wide paths here are (by and large) buggy-friendly. Longleat (20 minutes) is another great Wiltshire estate where you can set out on self-driven safaris, making this another popular pick. But plenty more low-key attractions are ensconced in the local countryside too, like King Alfred's Tower (five minutes) and Frome (15 minutes), where there are lots of intriguing independent shops. Artsy holidaymakers are very well-served around here: they've got the Hauser and Wirth gallery and sculpture park (15 minutes) and Bath's Holburne Museum (40 minutes). Fans of trains, planes and automobiles, meanwhile, can head out to Haynes International Motor Museum (20 minutes) or for steam-powered trips on the East Somerset Railway (20 minutes).
