Hut vacation rentals in South Somerset District

Sandra and Rob are always really kind, thoughtful and helpful hosts and it is a pleasure to stay with them.

We had a lovely stay at Mike’s cottage in Corfe Castle - the location is charming and the cottage itself is delightful, clean and cosy. It is well equipped, in spite of the compact size, and Mike was a helpful and responsive host with our queries. A tip for anyone also interested in the shepherd’s hut - maybe check first with the host if it is available, as in practice this would need a separate booking.

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.

I spent a month at this countryside retreat, and it truly felt like home. Nestled in a stunning valley, the hut offers breathtaking views and a peaceful escape. Waking up to rolling hills and sheep grazing nearby made each morning feel special. The hosts, Karen and Brian, were incredibly kind and welcoming—always ready to help with anything needed. They went above and beyond to make the stay exceptional. Five-star hosts! The hut itself is modern yet cozy, with thoughtful eco-friendly touches. The wool duvet and mattress were not only comfortable but also a nod to sustainability. For anyone seeking a break from city life, this is the perfect retreat. The sounds of birds and sheep enhance the peaceful, nature-filled atmosphere. Whether hiking, taking long walks, or relaxing in the hot tub, it’s a place to truly switch off. Ideal for a romantic getaway—secluded, serene, and surrounded by nature. Highly recommend for recharging and reconnecting with nature.

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

We booked this place for guests at our son's wedding party and they loved it!

Very good place. Clean and tidy. Friendly staff

Absolutely loved our stay! We will absolutely be back. Such beautiful Shepard's huts and so close to everything, yet hidden away! My 2 year old daughter loved sleeping in 'Peter rabbits house' and waiting for her egg and sausage bap in the morning. Thank you

Amazing Air Bnb, Tracey was a fantastic host welcoming even before we arrived. Perfect for feeling out in nature but also being able to enjoy a bit of luxury. Our son loved the goats, ducks, fire pit and the hot tub as did we. He especially loved meeting Roly the Dog! Really unique and relaxing experience in a great location for various different activities. Tracey has the balance just right of ensuring you have lots of privacy but also feel really at home and welcome to chat and ask questions. The actual hut has everything you need inside and an amazing view of the sunset and then the stars on a clear night. Thankyou Tracey :)

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!

Jenny was a great host! The Cabin was spotless on arrival! Very cosy and well equipped... As previous guests had noted the bed is super comfy!! The outside area for dogs is brilliant. Definitely recommend the Culm Valley Inn! Fantastic atmosphere - delicious home cooked food - 15 min walk. Strand Stores serve an incredible breakfast and sell high quality local produce! We also enjoyed a nice day out at Sidmouth beach..

lovely secluded place, was a nice trip, lovely surrounding area. the place was cosy and just what we wanted. the hot tub was a great addition.

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

We had an amazing stay in this wooden Shepards hut. It was just as described and so much better in person than the pictures! Even though you are in someone’s garden is very private and the views over the field were amazing. Luckily we had great weather and sat outside to eat dinner and enjoyed the sunset. I was hoping to see the deer and was not disappointed, they were friendly and it was a cool experience to have them so close. We were worried we might be cold as we stayed in April however the hut was warm at night and the beds very comfy. If you need wood for the fire, the shop is a 5 minute drive away which was handy and there are lovely beaches nearby. I would definitely stay here again!!

Jayne is an excellent host, very responsive to any messages sent. She welcomed us and recommended local walks including a bluebell wood which was stunning. Jayne went above and beyond, she had decorated the hut and left birthday bubbles for my birthday! The personal touches around the hut were appreciated (the mouse door so cute!) I would stay here again as the surroundings are stunning - what a sunset! A lovely place to recharge. Thanks again Jayne and Dave, Sam and Deyna

We had a lovely stay at Sally’s shepherds hut. We enjoyed the hot tub, and the Beer Shed nearby was an excellent spot for dinner. Sally gave us lots of recommendations and was a fab host. We went to Cheddar Gorge while we were there and it’s a great dog friendly attraction. The garden was also gorgeous - and thankfully so was the weather - and our dog loved running around it. It was safe, enclosed and very private. The WiFi didn’t work in the hut (but you could access it from the garden), which was probably the only downside as we came in winter and would have fancied watching a film on the laptop before bed - so, we recommend downloading something ahead of time if you fancy the same. But that aside, we had a fab time and would really recommend this fab spot to anyone needing a couple of nights in the country!

The stay was absolutely amazing, lots of places to explore around and Judith was very friendly, we will be coming again 😊

Clean, comfortable, and super peaceful. Chris is a top bloke and his place is the ideal getaway. The hut is a short walk from all of the amenities yet a stones throw from the woods and gorge, and having free rein of the private garden with viewing platform is a lovely touch. Wonderful!

Lovely host and lovely place, thank you Jackie!

Our stay was perfect. The location of the hut is out of this world, beautifully peaceful and the views are gorgeous. We had a lovely walk across the farm to Colyton and it was glorious. The hut is so well equipped and it needed for nothing else. We would love to stay again, we can’t recommend this place enough. The host Jo was really friendly and helpful and a pleasure to communicate with. Thanks so much Jo, we will see you soon!

We had the most wonderful time at Danette’s shepherds hut. The views, wildlife and peace were incredible and the location was great for trips out with the dogs. We loved the attention to details in the hut, it made the experience very homely. Danette’s communication with us was great, she kept us up to date from start to finish. I am already looking forward to returning on our next trip!

A really lovely stay! Shirley was a wonderful host who meets you at the door and explains everything to you before leaving you to your own, peaceful space. The hut was kitted out with everything you could possibly need… cutlery, crockery, towels, heater and a fan etc. The location of the Shepherds Hut is great.. tucked away and private but also only a 5/10 minute drive from the beach and/or shops & restaurants etc. The only downfall was that there was no phone signal and no wifi as stated in the post - not anything to ‘mark down’ for but definitely something to be aware of when booking. A massive thank you to Shirley for a wonderful stay!

Lovely weekend away with beautiful views and a very peaceful area. We loved staying here at felt very relaxed. The hot tub was lovely especially at nighttime with the clear skies. The hut had everything we needed and had plenty of space. Would defiantly come here again.

A lovely few nights away in this cute little shepherds hut. Thanks to Rosa’s brilliant recommendations we were able to make the most of our time in the area.
