just had a lovely relaxing peaceful 2 night stay and its exactly as advertised, short walk through the fields towards the viaduct is friendly pub with good food, Bath just a short 30 min drive away and the Hot tub was amazing especially at night in the light up garden. Only word of warning is the bed is not suited to tall people, I'm 6ft 1 and had to sleep at angle as the bed is wall to wall and my legs were too long. I'd definitely recommend.

Sanctuary in our chaos
My husband and I stayed in this idyllic Shephards hut whilst on a trip to look after our Grandchild during the day time . After running around after a 4 year old all day , it was a welcome sanctuary to come home to this beautiful dwelling with its lovely fairy lights and delightfully warm hot tub to recharge our worn out bodies for the next days shenanigans . Our only regret is that we didn’t stay longer and have a few days for ourselves to explore the beautiful surroundings . We will definitely be back .

Excellent cosy farmhouse hut
It wasn't as private as advertised as you are on the edge of the owners property/driveway. Somethings advertised either didn't work or weren't supplied. Check in/out times are very early and late bearing in mind the nightly rate. However it is a very warm and comfortable hut but weather dependant as no outside cover which would have enabled us to sit outside in inclement weather.

Wonderful stay in Bye Mills Shepherds Hut, where everything was perfect. The owners made us feel very welcome. Lazing in the hot-tub was the ultimate in relaxation. Super comfortable bed for a great nights sleep. Would highly recommend a stay here.

Lovely and relaxing
Loved our short break, just what we needed, enjoyed the hot tub and barbecue on the fire pit. Only a couple of little things I would suggest, the stairs leading up to hut could do with rails as I have short legs and I tripped once while taking bags into the hut. Luckily only squished the bread in the bag. Otherwise very enjoyable, thanks. Terry and Angela.

Amazing Birthday Getaway
We have just come back from the most amazing couple nights away in this most amazing shepherds hut. Can not fault the hut or the facilities inside, all was amazing. Hot tub in the evening then in the hut to warm back up by a real fire 😍. Location was great for trips out to Bath and a lovely day in Cheddar Gorge. Anne was Brill and told us all we needed to know including a great place to eat 'the Druids' where we had the best stake n ale pie ever 😋. 💗

Best get a way to recharge!
Me and my partner booked the shepherds hut for his 30th birthday celebrations. (towards the end of September). It was such a charming location the host Anne, was very welcoming. We’re already looking to book again. There are loads of local pubs and walks detailed in the welcoming pack inside the hut. We also drove into Bath and visited the Roman Bath’s and on another day visited the Wild Life Project in Bristol. The sights are so beautiful, during the day you can even spot cows in the field opposite. We were lucky enough to be briefly visited by the host’s dog, who was very cute. We spent the evenings listening to the radio, while enjoying the fire pit covered in the moon light. It was so lovely having the hot tub at our doorstep and made even nicer being surrounded by fairy lights. Would definitely recommend. Can’t wait to come back. Emma & Brad

Our stay at Bye mills shepherd hut
We stayed at Bye Mills Farm in the shepherd hut for 4 nights and 5 days and wow, what a lovely time we had. The hut was more than well equipped for our time away and even if we ran out of anything, Anne is only a message away (which i would like to add was very quick to reply so that was excellent for communication). The hut feels so welcoming and cozy, and with the addition of the hot tub too it was lovely to just chill out. A bonus too if you want to go in the hot tub in the evening the surrounding hedges have fairy lights and lighting around that makes the outside look and feel very special. Would like to add too the bed and bedding in the hut was so comfortable and made chilling in the evenings even better. The views in the morning when waking up were incredible with seeing the mist roll over the hills and the livestock grazing around. We found that it was easily located with only around 30min drive (traffic dependant) from either centre of Bath or Bristol, it made ease for days out too. There are plenty of pubs local to bye mills which are only a short 5-10 min drive away, or if walking will be longer as some of the roads close by do not have pavements or walking room. Thank you so much for having us and I 100% recommend to anyone wanting to get away and relax as you do just that and the surroundings add to the feel too. Thank you Lewis and Chloe

Everything about the rental was great, from the regular communication with Anne the host, to the location itself and we were wowed by our shepherd's hut which was full of cuteness. We toasted marshmallows at night over our own fire fit and woke to amazing country views. Made for a fabulous romantic stay.

Perfect get away
What an amazing hidden gem this place is. I can’t rate the cabin and Ann, the host highly enough. On arrival Ann took time to show us around and explain how to use the hot tub and all the appliances, as well as give us an insight into everything to do in the surrounding villages. It’s such a beautiful cabin in a stunning location, surrounded by the rolling hills of Somerset and a stones throw from the river Chew you really feel like you’re in a world of your own. There is a lovely pub called the Rising Sun that serves a great roast dinner on a Sunday, although I would advise booking in advance. At night the cabin transforms into a magical peaceful bliss as fairy lights surround the garden, couple this with a fire in the fire pit and it is quite something. Away from any roads and the hustle of busy towns it is perfect for a nice relaxing get away for you and a partner. We will definitely be visiting again. Can’t thank Ann enough for being such a wonderful and welcoming host.

Relaxation at its finest!
Had an amazing time at the hut, what a beautiful location with stunning views! The hut itself was very cosy and had everything we needed with some lovely touches added by Anne. The garden and hot tub area was a huge hit and we really enjoyed relaxing by the fire pit in the evening . Only a 10-15 minute walk to Pensford through the field/pathways to a friendly local pub. Would definitely recommend to family and friends!
